The challenge at Papertake Weekly is to make a project for something new, eg a new baby, a new house or similar, or to use something new on your project - so please pop over and be inspired by the excellent projects made by the ladies on the Design Team.
I chose to make a 4 inch mini card and pouch set for a new baby and couldn't resist using more of Andrea's new Pion vintage style papers (I'll buy you some more Andrea, promise!!) I absolutley love them and they just inspire me to keep making more cards and boxes/card pouches - I've got so many ideas going round in my head!! I should have bought myself some for Christmas when I ordered Andrea's lol. All paper edges were inked with tea dye distress ink
The ribbon is rose petal vintage style seam binding, 16mm cream fine fan pattern cluny lace and pale rose pink tiny pom pom trim. I used a Pion printed tag and added a Pink Petticoat sentiment printed onto Safmat. I tied a pale green button from the Pastel Mix selection with natural button twine, then added some white pretty blossom flowers with green leaves punched with my MS punch. The Pion papers were stitched by machine to the kraft background and the final item was a portion of a Zva pearl flourish!
The little paper bag pouch looks so pretty with the lace, seam binding, fine cluny lace and sentiment. The edges of the bag were distressed with tea dye distressing ink to age it. If I was mailing the card, it would be carefully packed in a sturdy 6inch cardboard box.
All ribbons, lace, twine, buttons, mulberry flowers, pom pom, Zva flourishes and the 6mm double sided tape I used are all from The Ribbon Girl online store.
See you soon Mary G x
