I had a workshop yesterday for a close friend (a group of close friends really) and some very good customers. They're very experienced stampers and scrappers and are now looking at doing something a little bit different to the regular cards. So, we decided on the Double Pocket Bag with matching Gift Card and Gift Card Holder.
All workshop guests had the option of which DSP they would use from 3 different packs (Fall Flowers, Berry Bliss or Close to Cocoa Prints). I made up packs of co-ordinating cardstock for the front decoration, gift card and gift card holder so that the colours would go with any piece of DSP that the guests chose, ie: I went with Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Soft Sky for the Fall Flowers DSP.
Anyway, the guests loved their bags - most were saying that they were too good to give to anyone and they intended keeping it for themselves. While a couple of them now have this year's Christmas gifts sorted!!!!!
Thought I'd share the three combo's with you all - these are the three I made. I had made the Fall Flowers and Berry Bliss prior to the workshop and I made a Close to Cocoa Prints version at the workshop.
Would love to know what you all think - thanks for looking!!!
