Technique
Collage, Distressing, Paper Bag
Directions:
- Start with lightest color of ink and working your way to
the darkest, collage all stamps ((Except words and Coffee themed
ones)) by repeat stamping to build your fall color base - completely
cover all sides of your bag. Remember to stamp off the edges
of the bag.
Use stencil brush and completely cover with Distress Ink.
- Fold bag in half to form your card.
- Starting with the front cover, choose 3 coordinating colors
of blue paper, a navy ribbon and navy fibers. Cut a 3 inch square
of your lightest paper and cover with crystal lacquer. Set aside
to dry!!
Next trim papers to form a large double mat, adhere with double-sided
tape. Distress with stencil brush.
Stamp Maple leaf with India Ink, trim out image very closely,
adhere to center with pop-dots.
** Using your DRIED lightest 3 inch square of paper, cut into
fourth. You now have 4 small squares. Cut again into half, cutting
diagonally to make "photo" corners. DO Not worry that
the paper will not cut into perfectly straight lines, that added
to the distressed look. Use your finger to twist the smaller
pieces of lacquered paper, this will add cracks into the Crystal
Lacquer. Adhere to card front.
- Embellish front with ribbon, button, fibers, stickers, and
tags.
INSIDE CARD :
- First: open flat, using a small mat inside of your bag, create
to hole for your brad. Add closure to the front of the brad,
then open prones inside of the bag to secure to the brad. Hint
- you will have a hole on the back of your card if you do not
use the mat inside!
Using mustard paper, cut 7 pieces 1 1/2 wide x 2" long.
Distress, trim with copper paint pen.
1) Using the first 6 - spell out the letters for the word AUTUMN
using Navy ink, adding in Baroque Burgundy a few small leaves
to embellish. Adhere by spacing evenly across the top of your
paper bag.
2) Layer the last piece with a scrap of dark blue from your front
cover, embellish with "Dream" sticker, small leaf stamp,
and fibers wrapped around 2 corners. Adhere to lower right corner.
- Stamp in India Ink 3 of Coffee stamps from Cube - clean stamp
well. Stamp Coffee bag, and coffee cup on lightest brown paper
using Chalk ink in Burnt Sienna. Trim with copper paint pen,
layer on dark brown. Adhere to the inside "flat" to
create your surprise invitation. Write in your own hand writing.
Optional Step: Use vellum and a template of a square CD
mailer to make your own handmade envelope to mail. Postage for
a square envelope is $.49, a little more than regular envelopes.

Saying/After Midnight
Cabin Scene (include Pines,Mountains,Bridge), Crocus/My Heart
Stamps for You
Muse/Mostly Animals
Crocus stamped in permanent black ink and masked. Cabin scene
stamped in the same black ink.

a gold paint pen. This frame was then applied to a dark blue
card stock and then matted on a light blue card. A seperate crocus
and cabin scene image were stamped in the permanent ink, colored
and cut apart. Pine tree was added to the yard and crocus were
added and pulled out of the frame. Muse was colored in markers
and cut out, layering it on top of the corner crocus. Stamped
saying in sky was done with a darker blue marker ( by coloring
the words and omitting the outline of a frame on the stamp).
Glitter was added to the pine trees.
