It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players! Anne Marie is back with a Theme Challenge: Everything Old is New Again. Our mission is to simply create a project using a recycled or re-purposed item. I opted to use the lovely paper that protects the cover of the new Occasions Catalog, as well as items from My Paper Pumpkin packaging, to create this lovely sachet for a friend. I hope you enjoy it!
The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
- Designer series paper…NOT! The gorgeous paper which protects the cover of the Occasions Catalog is perfect for making this gift sachet. Of course, the gift bag is created in a snap using the new Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Die.
- Tissue paper flower! The tissue paper that comes in the My Paper Pumpkin box can be rolled and used to make a lovely flower! In addition, you can spritz it with essential oils (I used Lavendar) to use in a sachet, such as this one. The Heart cut-outs, also made courtesy of the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Die, allow the fragrance to easily permeate the air.
- Mini-bow! The adorable little bow was created using more of the My Paper Pumpkin packaging. Once again, the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Die is to blame for the cuteness. This die is one of my top picks from the Occasions Catalog for sure!
- A touch of glitz! I could not resist adding strings of Bermuda Bay sequins for a touch of glitz and glam.
I am really pleased with how this little sachet looks…and smells! Plus, in keeping with the spirit of the challenge, I did re-use or re-purpose so many of the items used in its making. Even the doily is from a treat bag I created during Founder’s Circle. Of course, the Soft Sky Seam Binding, Pearls, and Island Indigo leaves (created with the new Bouquet Bigz L Die) are new items, but I felt they added so much to the design.
What about you? Won’t you let me know what you think of today’s little sachet? Your comments are important to me, and I do read each and every one. And remember, if you ever have a question about the cards I create, or the techniques I use, I am only an email away! Until next time…

Simply stunning!
Ann, this is amazing! You are just so clever! I love the colors in this card! The beautiful flower, the sequins and the sachet are just beautiful! I am so thrilled to be working with you on the PP Team! Happy New Year! XX
Wow, a scented sachet treat bag!! How clever and beautiful. Love the tissue paper flower especially spritzed with lavender. A gorgeous treat that is sure to delight the recipient. Fabulous job with the challenge, my friend!
Ann, beautiful sachet! Love your recycling ideas. Pretty color and awesome tissue paper flower.
What a wonderful creation! So clever, the way you used the various elements…love the scented flower! You’re a genius!
Love this beautiful sachet. The monochromatic look adds a real sense of serenity and peace which is perfect with the lavender essential oils.
Such a gorgeous project Ann and I bet it smells just as wonderful as it looks! I love how you featured so many different elements. That cover of the catty is way too pretty to NOT use on a project. Glad you had fun with my challenge this week. I’m so excited to get to create with you all again. 🙂
Hi Ann! I love all the elements on your project, and I also missed a few from the new catty that you used. Guess I will have to go back and check it out again! It’s a gorgeous project! So clever to use the paper from the front!
Ann, your creation is simply exquisite! Such a beautiful and creative way to re-purpose items! I’m a bit embarrassed to admit that I didn’t even notice this paper when I received my catalog (hangs head in shame). Your creation has inspired me to pay more attention to the potential in packaging!
I love the little treat bag Ann – clearly great minds think alike regarding the catalogue cover! I love the other recycled elements you used here, so creative – the rolled tissue paper flower is lovely, I’m off to see if I can find some tissue to have a go at this!
Over the top and out of the box creativity going on here! And the fact that it is gorgeous makes it even moms wonderful!
Another Ann Schach original! So pretty with lots of details to make it extra-special! Love it!!
Wow, this is absolutely gorgeous, Ann! Love the pretty colors, sequin trim, and of course the beautiful flower. You did an amazing job of recycling, too!
Gorgeous project, Ann! I love all the details and how you used so many different products to create the details. Love the new look of your blog too! I will be re-subscribing as it looks like I lost you in my reader when you switched over.
