Brown Paper Bag Card - Pink Paisley



I did it!! I accomplished not one, but two new things today!! For the very first time I made a Paper Bag Card and for the very first time I uploaded a video to YouTube!! Oh, and by the way, I used my new IPhone to film, I think the quality is pretty-pretty good!! I would love to hear what you think but please be gentle with the first timer here ;-)

            



This will be one of the projects at my May Workshop.   To see other projects for this Workshop please click HERE.

May Workshop is scheduled for:
Sunday, May 29th
10 am to 6 pm
at Scrapbook Island in San Jose, CA

This Workshop is by invitation only.  If you would like to attend but did not receive an Evite invitation from me, please email me at irina_ca@msn.com and I will add you onto the list.

This card measures 6" x 6" (folded).

Can you believe this card/project base is a regular brown bag?  AMAZING!!  I just LOVE how this project has turned out!!  This is really so much more than a card, but this is exactly what I wanted to do when I got Pink Paisley papers from their new Butterfly Collection.  Papers are just so gorgeous, I wanted to do my best to showcase them. 

and here are some of the Paper Bag Card photos.. just a few.. haha ;-)

Hi Irina, I have just come across your blog and I want to say I love what I see. Your paperbag card is gorgeous. You did a great job with the video. It would be fantastic if you could do a video tutorial so we can see exactly how you put it all together. Thanks for sharing. I am going to look through the rest of your blog now; Pauline
