More Grab Bag Projects
$5 for 25 cards!
Yesterday I showed you a cute mini-album with my $10 grab bag. Today I opened up the $5 bag and challenged myself to create with no additional consumable supplies. I did add some stamping and dry embossing. And I finished off the die cuts leftover from the one sheet that I used on the mini-album (the grab bag has 10 sheets).
Bag contents:
These are the cards in the old Simply Sent kit. You have to cut one half sheet of each color into 1 and 1/2″ strips for layering. I did stamp the “Merry Christmas” from Teeny Tiny Wishes.
These are the leftover cards from the kit. Since there was only 1 sheet of die cuts, I pulled out some extra flowers left from yesterday’s project. I love how they are repositionable – I moved them a bit! I added a bit of the ribbon from the kit – just be sure to save enough for the other set of cards. I also stamped some greetings with Teeny Tiny Wishes.
And here is the last set of cards – 5 each. This set also includes envelopes! I stamped with some new sets from the Summer mini – Fabulous Florets, Hello Blossoms and Happy Greetings. You could also orient your cards in the portrait position with the ribbon on the bottom, if your images fit better that way. I ran the cards through the Big Shot with the new Flower Garden and the Polka Dot folders. Or, you could stamp a background in Versamark ink.

Clearly you got more in your $5 than most Mine contained 8-4×4 and ribbon that clashed with the cards.

I think the bag you got is from the Petite Pansies Simply Sent kit. I can send you the file with the original card instructions if you want – just email me at [email protected] Those cards are really pretty. But I agree, the ribbon they included might have to be used on a different project.
