June 22, 2012 by 2 Comments
Hi All! We received a beautiful submission from Melanie of New York. She had a fun baby shower at a reception hall and had these great photos to share with us.
With the help of family and friends, Melanie put together this cute centerpiece with the stuffed teddy using PouchMart’s light blue organza ribbon with satin edge, satin ribbon and organza sheets for each table. They also put together these gorgeous favors for the guests by using some smoke blue organza ribbon with satin edge and scallop cut tulle wraps from PouchMart.
PouchMart also has more of a selection of ribbons, wraps and bags that you can use for your next event. Come visit our store at www.Pouchmart.com !
We look forward to receiving your submissions as well. Just click above on “Submit Your Photos” and or email us at sales@pouchmart.com with your information and your pictures may be shared on our blog.
Just A Touch of Raffia
June 8, 2012 by 1 Comment
I have a cute little frog card to share with you today. I used a small bow of tan rafia in the corner – thinking it gave the idea of the plant life found in the pond!
I water colored my frog with Distress Markers.
PouchMart has raffia in 21 different colors! I’m sure you’ll find one that suits your project!! I tied the bow and then pulled the folds of the raffia open for a softer, little bit wider look than how it comes off the spool.
Thanks for coming by today!

DIY Canvas Bags “Friends Always”
June 1, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Hi everyone! It’s Julia back again. Today I’m sharing yet another project using my favorite Pouchmart Canvas Muslin Bags! I used the 5″x6″ size, but they have other sizes as well - even some with animal print!
This colorfully stamped 5″x6″ bag is perfect for that smaller gift to a friend for doing that something special for you just when you needed it! Or maybe for a birthday!
This worked up really quickly – first I stamped the circles (which is actually a tree top stamp repurposed!) in 9 different colors on the bag. I stamped it again on a piece of card stock, stamped the sentiment over the circle and punched it with a circle punch. I punched a scallop circle punch to frame it, punched a hole in the top and attached it to the bag handle with a beaded key chain – and done!
All ready to pop in that gift card, bag of Dove Chocolates or favorite bottle of perfume and give to your friend!
I was excited to have this project accepted to be published in the PaperCrafts Magazine - 225 Cards and Gifts in March 2011.
Thanks for stopping by the Pouch Mart blog today – where there’s always something to inspire you!
