Tutorial-Paper Smooches (anncorbierescott)

I was SUPER excited to take part in the Xyron/Paper Smooches blog hop! The stamps are adorable and very easy to use! I chose the "We Totally Click" stamp set-it had so many of my favorite things-polaroids, pens, cameras, and desk lamps!

How absolutely darling is this desk lamp, I ask you? I used We R Memory Keepers basics patterned paper, as they are super bright and graphically stunning!

Once I created both of the greeting cards, I thought a gift bag would be a fun way to give them as a present. I took a small flat brown paper bag, I had recieved while shopping. I randomly stamped ink pens and we totally click all over the bag. I ran a paper doily thru the Creative Station and adhere it along the top edge of the stamped bag, staple two banners cut from We R Memory Keepers basics pad. Lay a strip of High Tack tape along top edge of bag, then fold piece of crepe paper almost in half and finger pleat and push the crepe paper into high tack tape all along the top edge of doily. Stamp a pen and "We totally Click" on a white cardstock circle and mount that onto a yellow scalloped circle and adhere to right top of gift bag.
