The lovely Blythe shares with us this pretty project that’s perfect for holiday gift giving or, you know, a wedding.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While the project focus is on the sparkly-embossed organza bag, I think the card is the real showstopper here. How gorgeous would this be adapted into an invitation? And the bag? An excellent way to present favors.

INSTRUCTIONS

For The Bag:

1. Cut a piece of card stock or thin cardboard slightly smaller than organza bag and insert it into the bag.  Lay the bag on a flat surface and smooth out any wrinkles.
2. Ink the Medallion stamp well with Old Olive Craft Ink. Stamp on bag as desired.
3. Sprinkle the stamped area generously with Iridescent Ice embossing powder. Shake off excess powder into a container (you can re-use any unheated embossing powder).
4. Using even back and forth motions with the heat tool, melt the embossing powder. Be careful here; you’ll want to heat only until the powder turns liquid. Overheating will pucker and melt the organza. (See below.)
5. Remove card stock from bag. Insert your favor or gift.
