Tranquility - Vellum Gift Twists

Hello everyone! Today I'd like to share with you a couple of Gift Twists I made inspired by 

Holly's beautiful - No Act of Kindness Gift Twist 

over at Quietfire Creations Throwback Thursday .  

I started by cutting an 8-1/2"x11" pc of Vellum in two. Which I then dry embossed and coloured on the inside with dye ink.

Using a SBE I die cut both front and back of the Blue GT and the front edge of the Pink GT.

I fastened the side and back with double sided tape then wrapped each with coordinating decorative tape.

The Labels were die cut (heart - Memory Box, butterfly -Cheery Lynne) and stamped using Stazon  with Six Gentle Word's Tranquility from Quietfire Design and embellished. 

To complete I inserted zip top bags filled with scented bath salts before tying the Gift Twists with ribbons.

Blue Vellum Gift Twist.

These were easy and fun to make and I’m very pleased with how they turned out.

Now I’m thinking I need to make some more twists to fill with chocolate kisses for my littlest Valentines.

What will you put in your gift twist?

Thanks for the visit , enjoy your day!

Receipts Wallet and Homemade Stencil

 Good morning!

Today's share is actually two.  A Wallet I made to corral my receipts an how I made my Stencil using a punch and reused sticker backing.

Outside Front Cover

Quote stamp from Quietfire Design

Inside

Homemade Hexagon Stencil 

To make my stencil I used the backing from some sticker strips and the Stampin Up! Hexagon punch.

I started by punching a pattern in some card stock making a template. I attached the template to the clear backing with removable tape. Then punched through the template holes until my stencil was complete. 

Here is the stencil in action as I start my Receipt Wallet.

The stencil is 12" long so that I can use it for my scrapbook pages too.

I hope you enjoyed my share today, thanks for visiting!
