play days happy days

I'm going to share swaps and make n takes from recent play days.

The narrative may be short n sweet,

but times short, and it's the inspiration you want mostly,

so here goes.....

The tree was made with the punch, altho it should have been a pompom!

More on that another day, or maybe Playtime Postings will reveal all.....

Play Day June

Having a play day today where we get together,

and make a swap and a make n take for each other.

I wanted to use my new Tree Builder Punch, with Sprinkles of  Life,

a new stamp set from Stampin' Up! where a percentage goes to their

charity RMHC, whom they've supported for a long time.

I love the sentiments, it's quite a whimsy set which appeals to the child within!

The punch has a tree canopy which can also be a cupcake, ice cream, cloud, bush, shrub etc etc!

I couldn't decide, so thought I'd share my process......

from left to right........in the end I decided on the simplest!

 .....the single white 'cloud'

I used my new Neutrals Background DSP,

which of course is absolutely GORGEOUS!,

to make these little gift pouches

Very simple. from 12" x 4" paper, scored at 1" on each long side,

and 5 1/2" and 6 1/2" on the short side to make the base.

Then fold central score lines to meet the edges

to form the base.......this is a bit fiddly!

I added an ample large bow in the new  luxurious Trim,

so they could recycle it!

They contained a mini travel Nivea Body wash 

I also decided to add a mini card 3" x 3", that fit our mini envelopes,

using some of the experimental tags.

I thought it a nice way to show some of the new In Colours...

Tip Top Taupe, Mint Macaron, Watermelon Wonder

I hope they like them, and can't wait to catch up and see what they've been doing.

My make n take is the Bokeh technique,

can't wait to show you!
