    ' Everything i sell is sold to raise money for the ear trust. In fact had a call last night to say the t bag cards and things i made and a pamper cake i gave them to raffle raised 550 pounds . '

    That's a wonderful amount to raise craftgranny - you must be very proud

    OK you're all going to think I have a "thing" for black card :rotfl: but I've had a go at my Reindeer Poop bags. I've used black card (again ;)) as it's cheap and plentiful :D

    This is going to sound stupid but do you think it looks too "posh" for a bag essentially of fake poop? :rotfl:

    5136948067_60ecb8dd2d_m.jpg I have basically used a silver pen for the writing and a silver stamp pad and embossing powder for the label (which I've then heated up). Underneath the black label is a similar shaped cut out from silver card.

    Sorry if this is plain as day but how do you fasten the black card around the bag?
    Thank you...:)

  • Wow everyone has been so busy and made so many beautiful things - well done you talented bunch.

    I'm ashamed to say I'm still waiting to get started - still scouring the shops for small holly shapes and Cadbury's miniatures without joy. However, I do have a stash of ES mints but they are going to diminish unless I find holly soon! Umm they taste good!

    Double sided tape on the back of the black card and then peel off the backing and stick to the bag.

    :)Craftygranny I'm hoping to do some scrapbooking and have bought the book and some 'embellishments' but it's all the tools that go with it...and I just look and think 'But how do they do it?' :D
    I think I'm just going to have to get stuck in...that is when I can tear myself away from all the creative threads on here at the moment.
    Just beautiful crafts from extremely talented people.
