Nature's Harvest - Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to another Stampers Showcase Blog Hop! This month our theme is the brand new In-Colours. I will be using a stamp set called Nature's Harvest for my projects.

If you are starting our hop here at Craftyducky HQ or you have hopped over from my craft friend Mo, welcome we have lots of great projects to share with you this month all featuring the fabulous 2022 - 2024 In-Colours.

I love all the new colours and would find it incredibly difficult to choose my favourite. So, I decided to use all them for my projects!

Craftyduckydoodah, Stampin' Up!, Nature's Harvest, Stamper Showcase Blog Hop,

Here is my project:

I love to make little gifts to give to friends and family don't you? As soon as I saw the Peekaboo Treat Bags I knew I could find a way to use them! Even better, the treat bags are food safe too so they can be filled with homemade goodies.

The colours I used:

You will need:

Small pieces of the above colours for die cutting. You will also need Basic White Thick (BWT) for stamping and die cutting.

The stamping and die cutting:

I used the lovely wreath shape from the Painted Label dies to cut out a wreath using all the In-Colours. I then stamped one of these beautiful Cone Flowers (I think that is what they care called) onto BWT card and cut out with the coordinating die. I then choose a sentiment and stamped one in all the In-Colours and again cut out with the coordinating die.

The sentiment:

I have been waiting for a sentiment stamp and die bundle as clever as this one for ages! The set was designed with the help of our Million Dollar Achiever Lisa Curcio.

Now it is easy to achieve the look of a trimmed out around sentiment without the pesky fussy cutting!

To assemble:

I used dimensionals to adhere the flowers and the sentiment to the die cut wreath.

Top Tip #1

Make sure you only add the the dimensionals where the die cuts are going to be adhered to the wreath!

I then used Tombow at the top and bottom of the wreath to adhere the panel to the treat bag.

At this point I added an additional dimensional to the largest flower so it would lay flat on the treat bag.

I used the same colour Bakers Twine around the top of the bag, wrapping around the convenient little slots twice and tying a bow. I also added some rhinestones for a little sparkle!

Top Tip #2

I used my bone fold on the inside of the treat bags to push down the bottom of the bag. When you do this the bags will stand by themselves and it makes them much easier to fill!

The completed project:

I added some chocolate mints to the bag. I have someone in mind to receive a little treat and these mints are her favourite.

I mentioned earlier that I would be using all the new In-Colours for my project and I did just that! I will add the coordinating Baker's Twine when I have filled the treat bags.

I am really enjoying using these lovely new In-Colours, I may even be using two of them to make my wedding invitations with!
