Last weekend I brought my first lot of "washi tape" to have a play with.......OMG.....I love it!
I also purchased a pack of 6 felt owls.....and sat down to have a play..................grabbed my favourite FISKARS TOOLS....
.......and had making this fun GIFT BAG made from an envelope....
I learnt this technique after doing the Make'n'take on the ENVELOPE SOLUTIONS STAND last weekend at PAPERIFIC in MELBOURNE.......SO EASY TO CREATE!! So on SUNDAY I snaffled the envelope that Rod was given for Father's Day....and have already started to create.......LOL!
As you can see I have had fun distressing the edges a bit with fine sandpaper......and I just have to cover the front with an embellishment......maybe another owl....not sure yet......
SAMUEL (my grandson) shall get the first bag which I'll fill with sweets for his 3rd birthday next month.
I have also finished his birthday card which I'll share soon.....and I've also finished creating GEMMA'S 1st birthday card....
We have 4 family birthday's in the next month so I have been having fun personalising some fun cards......shall share them all soon on here with you all......

Fab project Lyn!!! Love the idea of upcyling envelopes and making them into these cool treat bags :) I bought a bundle of envelopes to make into mini-albums that I saw on Scrap-it TV ages ago, so now might be the time to break some out for some crafting fun.
Looking forward to seeing Gemma's card too.

Great idea recycling the envelopes into gift bags. Love the owls.
