Mixed media Kraft bags - part 6

It is almost Christmas, and this is the last post with simple craft bags for this time. Totally, I created 24 different bags. They were for an adventcalendar for a friend.

"Experience" bag

The background has been made with a stencil from Tim Holtz and gesso. Over this, I used left over paper from Papirdesign: julekos. The corrugated cardboard is left overs from some wrapping. The stamp is from Tim Holtz and the rose is a Mathia rose. The small golden edge at the bottom is made with decorated borders dies fra Rayher and glitter paper.

"Invent a new one" bag

I often find it difficult to use yellow in different creations. Therefore, I have challenged myself on this bag. First, I used a Tim Holtz stencil and Mustard seed (yellow) distress paint. I gave the bag a light spray with black acrylic paint. The ruler pattern is made with a stencil from TIm Holtz and black distress ink. The film strip is washi tape. The chevrongs are made with my own stencil. The stamp is from Tim Holtz. I have also used stickers on the background, to create effect.

Vintage bag 

This bag has had a light spray with acrylic paint. The paper in the background is from Papirdesign: julekos. The image is an old vintage image from a diecut sheet. The fir branches is made with Rayhe'*s dies: fircone and branch. 

24. of December bag

The bag has been decorated with papers from Papirdesign: julekos and craft bazzill. The circle behind the santa is made with Rayher*s Spring Wreath dies in kraft. I have used a red wnd white string with small bells. The number 24, had been cut with a Silhouette in glittercardstock. The motive of the santa is from an old diecut paper. 

Wishing you all a merry Christmas 

Mixed media Kraft bags - part 3

Sometimes, I want to create a masculine wrapping of a present. These bags have been decorated in a mixed media style, without a hint of Christmas.  The base for the bags are simple kraft bag and are bloged for Hobbykunst

"Every possibility" bag

The background has been made with my own stencil and distress ink.

The golden glitter chevrongs has been cut from glitter cardstock. I used Rayher's Spring Wreath dies on glitter cardstock to create the cicle in the background. The measuringtape is washi tape. The text stamp is from Tim Holtz.

Bag with metal tape.

The background has been made by covering a piece of Bazzill with metal tape. Then the paper was embossed with a Tim Holtz embossing folder. Then, the embossed tape was covered with black acrylic paint. Most of the paint was removed with a cloth while the paint was still wet. The edges has been distressed to get a "rust effect" with Vintage photo - embossing powder.

The metal tag is from Tim Holtz, Observations Metal Word Bands. The rose is a Hobbykunst's Mathia rose. 

"Keep calm and craft on" bag.

The background has been made with my own stencil and black distress ink. I have added washi tape in gold and added splashes with black acrylic paint.

"Explore" bag

The mixed media motive has been made, by decorating a small piece of bazzill. The Bazzill has been dry embossed. Then I glued old pieces of lace, metal, small light bulbs, diecuts and beads. Everything is painted black, and has been dry brushed with different acrylic colours. 

the work  "explore" is a dies from Tim Holtz, dies out in craft foam and metal paper. The metal card has been glued over the craft foam. 

Mixed media Kraft paper bags - part 2

It is getting closer to Christmas.Today I am showing four new kraft bags, decorated in mixed media style.  These are created for Hobbykunst.

I have used simple kraftbags, and left over craft stash and paper. 

Bag with fir trees.

On this first bag, I have used paper from papirdesign - gave til far. Parts of the paper has been coloured with kaisermist to create a blue/green colour on the paper. Gesso has been added with a cloth, to create the snow effect. It is also used small beads to create the snowballs. The stars on the top of the trees are Star brads, coloured in gold.

Bag with washi tape.

I  like using washi tape on backgrounds. Here, the tape has been fixed to bag, and then I have added white distress paint. The triangle is from Rayher - white paper cord with pendanthe. I have used a "Noel" stamp from Kaisercraft on the cork tag from Rayher. I have also used stickers on the background to create some effect. 

"No Peeking" bag.

On this bag, I started to use glue over a stencil with circles. Then I added glitter the the bag. The bag was also sprayed with black acrylic paint. The lace is from Rayher. Part of the lace has been painted black before it was glued to the bag. The circle in the bag is created with Rayher's Spring Wreath dies.
