Craft Consortium, The Riverbank, 'Froggy' Gift Box

Need a gift box in a hurry?

Running short on time?

Perhaps something along these lines might help...

I've added some sparkle here, but if you want to adapt it quickly maybe some string instead of ribbon and bugs from The Emporium Collection or a die cut leaf instead of a flower would suit better instead?

With a little bit of fussy cutting Craft Consortium has plenty to offer by way of decoration!

I've even had the time to colour and stamp some images on this box!

Craft Consortium, The Riverbank, Decorated Brown Paper Gift Bag

Thank you so much for stopping by today...  It's 6 months to the day (tomorrow) that I moved house and location.  I'm currently living in an unfinished house, but it's liveable and has heating, water and an almost finished kitchen...  which it didn't always as it was a major internal renovation project!

And would you believe I had this post ready to go a month ago yet the iMac had an update that night that completely destroyed it?  (Google it online - many iMac users had the same issue).  It was as dead as the proverbial Dodo!
My poor hubby refuses to do any more updates until the Apple store is back up and running as he had to fight for his rights to get it collected and fixed - even though he pays a monthly charge for that very privilege!


So I'm finally back (and yes, it really did take a month to get the iMac collected, fixed and returned)...  and I'm working on using some of my older Craft Consortium collections - at least for a while.  I have the most generous of hearts DT manager who very kindly kept my position open.  That's a privilege I don't take lightly, so many thanks once again Nigel Lennon.

With the (quite frankly) weird lives we are currently reduced to living in  I'm going back to a focus  on different  gift packaging ideas (mainly bags and boxes, but I'll throw in the odd handmade  paper gift idea too) as birthdays, etc will be carrying on regardless of this crazy world we are currently living in.  

The aim is to 'stay safe', so we'll make do as best we can...  

...  and that will be ok.

  

So with that in mind today's project features a brown paper gift bag, decorated in the main using products from The Riverbank collection.  

Washi Tapes are from The Emporium collection, attached with just a little extra spot of glue to stop them from potentially falling off!  (I don't know about you but I tend to find that it's best to air on the side of caution when building up layers)!

Craft Consortium, The Riverbank, Art In Nature

I'm back today sharing another framed project idea using some of my favourite sets of stamps and papers - all from the lovely people at Craft Consortium.

It's kind of quirky, I guess...  but I like it!







I've used some of The Riverbank stamps and papers in conjunction with The Essential Craft Papers - Grunge to create this Mixed Media project.

Here's a view that shows the layers and dimension...

Craft Consortium, The Riverbank, Display Piece

My project for today is a display piece that focuses on some of the many toppers available to fussy cut from the Riverbank Collection...

This is a collection put together by Craft Consortium in partnership with Hackney and Co...

I've mixed and matched various papers from The Riverbank premium paper pad...

...  added a wood texture from The Essential Craft Papers - Wood Textures range...

...  backed toppers on to non shedding glitter card.  (Craft Consortium have a variety of colours)...

...  as well as adding a few die cuts (also from glitter card) and a few key words to set the scene.

Not the best photo here, but at least you get to see the whole display!

Craft Consortium, The Riverbank, Framed Scene

Have you seen the new Riverbank Collection?

It's the newest product range that Craft Consortium has put together in Partnership with Hackney & Co...

...  and it IS amazing!

So much so that I spent an entire week on this project...  and enjoyed every single minute of it!

Lots of photo's to show you.

Here goes...

I've made the frame using paper from the Premium Paper Pad and added a distressed look to the edges using Silver Gilding Wax.

The base of the frame uses one of the newest Glitter Card colours that has been added to the collection. 

The 'page' is from an old gardening book.  

I've dry brushed with White Gesso and rethreaded the page...  leaving the ends to dangle off the frame.

Then I've used Texture Paste through a stencil, inked that back over with a dauber once dry...  and then added some stamped images from the new collection that have been heat embossed using Distress Powder.

The stamped images have all been fussy cut, then coloured using Lindy's Magicals.

Here's two photo's I put on Instagram showing some of the colours used...

I've used a mixture of die cuts...  some cut from Glitter Card, some from Tim Holtz's Shattered Collection and some painted with Acrylic Paint.

I've even added a few Nuvo Jewel Drops to the centre of the Water Lilies!
