Forever Young - Giftbag Gorgeous

This is the last of the Forever Young gift bag card sets and I am glad because I am ready to move on to something else.


Supplies Used:
Cricut Expressions - Forever Young cartridge, George
Core'dinations cardstock
Doodlebug flock
White flowers misted with Glimmer Mist
Patterned paper My Minds Eye Simply Delightful
4x5 notecard
Hot Fix gems
White Signo gel pen
Cat Eye Chalk Ink



The mat the girl is on is from Elegant Edges. It was a little wider than what I needed so I resized it using the Gypsy. There are some great cuts on Elegant Edges and I can't wait to use some! I just chose a simple one for this since I wanted the Forever Young cut to be the focal point.

The white border is from Elegant Edges as well. They are some fantastic borders on there! And with using the Gypsy or DS I might never have to buy another border punch!

I was going to glitz up the gal a little but then I thought "who the hell is even going to care if she has a sparkle on her flower". Most of my friends that come to the Christmas party are not crafters so they don't notice the little details all you guys do.




Doodlebug flock was applied to the word "Gorgeous" the same way I applied glitter on the previous gift bag. Using the Xyron to do this makes it a lot easier than using glue and you get a more smooth application, at least I think so.


So I am off to new projects now. I think I am bored of just doing cards so it might be time to alter something....I wonder what I can find in my stash to alter!
