roses roses roses gift bag made using the Art Philosophy cartridge and the January stamp of the month

Hello, everyone!

As you know, I have been in a crafting funk lately. However, Joy and I received an email by one of our followers about how she was not quite convinced on buying the January stamp set of the month yet. To that I say, challenge accepted!


I felt that I had to come out with something really pretty and something that was not a card. I wanted you guys to see that the stamp set is more versatile than you think! So with the help of my all time favorite cartridge, Art Philosophy, I made a cute gift bag for my niece and I used the stamp set to make an adorable tag. The best thing about that is it makes it super customized with my niece's birthday on it! Also, this would work for ANY event like anniversaries or weddings!

The bag is white and I added some light aqua and brown cardstock to the front.

Then I cut out these three roses using the Art Philosophy cartridge at 5 1/2", 4 1/2", and 3 1/2". The leaves were cut out at 3" and 2".

Now since this stamp set coordinates with the Art Philosophy cartridge, I was able to easily cut out the circles at 2 1/2" and 1 3/4" to work with the stamp set. Then I cut out the tag at 2 3/4" and adhered the circles to it after I stamped the center.
