Black + One Other Color!

I chose Classy Gilli to go with my black + one. I colored her with prismacolor pencils and used my Grand Calibur  to cut out the Spellbinders ovals and parisian accents lace and corner pieces.  I then added a bow and a button and the card was complete!  I hope you link up your Gilli black + one card and play along with us!  : )

Black and Yellow,Black and Yellow

Hello Everyone,
I'm Dionne your Hostess this time around. Welcome to House of Gilli's Challenge #7 -USE BLACK AND 1 OTHER COLOR ONLY . 
Before any one gets confused by my title, if you have teens you may have heard the song. I just couldn't resist labeling it this:) I used Black and Teal on this awesome layout. I really am happy about how it turned out. I have spent a lot of time making cards and other gift items but I have tons of layouts that I need to do so I did this. I did a lot of stamping and sewing and a little embossing. Just in case anyone is wondering that little circle label really is a shade of teal not green.(I promise) I hope you enjoy, and please join in on the fun.

Easy Gift Bag Tutorial

Hi!  Karen here with a quick and easy tutorial on how to personalize a gift bag for that special someone.  It is a simple way to add a special touch to a gift without adding extra cost.

 I start by using scraps of paper from other projects, a brown paper gift bag, and a colored Gilli image.

I then take the darker paper that I want for the matting and cut various sizes until it fills the side of the bag and adhere them to it.

Next, I cut different patterned papers 1/4" smaller than the matting size and attach them to the matting with adhesive.

I then attached the Gilli image and  I stamp floral designs with stamps from Stamping Scrapping.  I also use some various  rub-ons to finish it off.  This is a cute and fun way to use up odds and ends....and it's pretty and personalized too!!
