Christmas gifties for Sparemarbles2012

Hello my friends just few more gifts for my friend during this Holiday season..
These creations went to Diana- aka Sharp Sis, aka Pink Sharpie aka sparemarbles2012
#1Altered ornament with a tiny gift bag.
I used plastic ornament that was gifted to me by Irina (ThePassioForCraft) and scraps of laces from NSK. I attached it to this tiny gift bag, so she can put this ornament in.. but there is a little tiny surprise inside already..psss in Russian traditions, you can't gift empty bag..

#2 Altered pink Santa hat.. after all this is gift for "pink sharpie"... she had to have a pink hat...

I used a regular Dollar Tree childrens hat and altered the princess band with laces and bling...

#3 following with pink

Diana asked me "wink, wink" for a Tilda Bug for a while... but I think she wanted it to be shabby.. there you have it sis.. and of course I couldn't sent out just a bug.. She definitely needed a tree..

cute, cute!

#4 a CD Christmas card made out of old CD cases and altered box where I put loose gifts 

#5 Altered goodie bag..

Love how simple and fast that wrapping goes:

take a lunch bag, stamp it with large image; 

take a paper doily, stamp your message on it;

take a large paper clip, small cupcake wrapper folded in half, adhere with a hot glue paper clip to the wrapping+any holiday stickers;

secure stamped paper doily on your lunch bag with altered paper clip... Ta-Da (idea of altered paper clips is totally scrap lifted from Irina (CraftyIrina)

#6 Miniature snippet roll

#7 Altered Burlap Ice Skates

 Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Hugs, Natasha

Gift Wrapping idea using Paper Clips a la Craftyirina

Hello my friends,
today I am sharing with you quick and easy gift wrapping idea:
You need:
1. your gift
2. lunch bag
3. paper doily
4. stamp with a message, ink
5. paper clip
6. scraps of paper, ribbons, lace, floral sprays - what even you can find around you
7. hot glue
and get crackalackin....
Step #1 Put your gift inside lunch bag and fold it shut.
Step #2 Fold paper doily in half and stamp your message. Place it on top of your lunch bag.
Step #3 Punch out shape out of cardstock or scrap of your paper, you can stamp regular paper and punch out shape of a heart or even take a sticker. That will be your base. Be sure to turn it fancy side out
Step #4 Preheat your glue gun. Place your base (#3) wrong side up put a dab of glue on the bottom and place a paper clip. Start adding scraps to cover and secure paper clip till you are happy with finished result.
Have fun!
