We are really excited for two friends of the Melissa Frances brand, Mandy Collins and Catherine Scanlon.
They have put together a beautiful e-zine full of great tutorials and inspiring projects. Our Melissa Frances resin blossoms even make an appearance in one of the projects!
...and the best part? The zine is FREE! So, click HERE to check it out, and prepare to be inspired!
Today we have a set of adorable gift bags from design team member Rachel McAffee to share with you. We'll let her take it away:
Today I'd like to show you a couple vintage inspired gift bags I made with the Melissa Frances Glamour and Grunge papers.
Using a gift bag template from bellesprintables.com, I placed the template on the paper, traced and cut it out. I then used my Xyron Mega Runner to adhere the bag together.
I adhered pink crochet lace around each bag and embellished with glass buttons and mini resin frames.
I tucked a bit of floppy blossom ribbon inside the bag instead of the usual tissue paper. I thought this would be a unique way to present a gift. I cut out vintage images from the adopted ancestors paper and attached them to the front of the bags.
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a creative day!
Supplies used:
Glamour and Grunge pattern paper, floppy blossom ribbon, glass buttons, mini resin frames, adopted ancestors pattern paper- Melissa Frances
