Welcome to the Whisker Graphics Blog Hop. We are having lots of fun playing with the bags, tags and twine that they sent us! I hope you enjoy their products, too. Of course, to that end, we have prizes.
Prizes
With all the fabulous inspiration that we will be sharing from both design teams we thought some of you would like to play along with these great products too, so there are PRIZES! Just comment along the hops each day and leave a thoughtful comment for the designers. Winners will be announced Monday, May 9th.
Three prize packages consisting of one each –
- Divine Twine Diva – Crushed Lavender Solid
- Divine Twine Diva – Crushed Lavender Stripe
- Divine Twine Diva – Dried Celadon Solid
- Divine Twine Diva – Dried Celadon Stripe
- An assortment of bags in a variety of sizes and patterns.
- Winners choice of a Stampendous Cling Rubber Stamp Set and Matching Dies (from available stock)
These three winners MUST have a US mailing address (or territories or military).
But wait! Additionally, we will give away one prize to an Australian winner courtesy of our distributor there – The Stencil Specialist – which will consist of distributor’s choice of one stamp, one stencil and a surprise goodie.
I decided to do things simply today. In honor of "Teacher Appreciation Week", I chose the Whisker Graphics bags with the loose leaf pattern on them. Then, I traced the Owl Buddy, Large Chunky Art Tools and the Large Apple Stencils onto these bags with a Micron Pen. I colored them with Spectrum Markers. I created the tassel on the second card byt wrapping twine around an acrylic stamp holder and tying it off. I put the twine through two holes that I punched into the envelope.
You can see that the small bag is the PERFECT size for a gift card! It actually goes all the way in, but I wanted you to see a little for comparison. Easy peasy!
Want another easy idea? Do what I did above. Just glue any extra pieces of projects that didn't work out right to the bag. On the left I have an extra pasting I had made of the Horses Stencil. It was colored with Spectrum Markers. On the right, I glued a "debossed" and colored image of the Rooster Stencil to the bag. The rectangular shape that is underneath the rooster image was actually already on the bag.
So, these were the projects I created for today. Leave me a comment for your chance to win, and visit the rest of the hop today:

ReplyDeleteGreat idea to paste "lefties" onto the bag.
ReplyDeleteI took a Zig painting class and we did some
flowers. I painted a couple but didn't want to
finish the whole thing. I cut them out and
pasted them into my bible journaling.
Good way to keep a project without having little
pieces laying around.
Love that owl.
thanks for shsaring.
