Today I have another project for the Merry Monday Challenge - I had so many ideas floating around in my head I just had to get them out! And I'm getting this in just under the wire! Instead of a Christmas Card - I made a Christmas Gift bag - using a 5" x 7.5" Kraft bag.
This is a flat bag so you'd have to put something thin in it - like a gift card - or you could slip in 3 hand stamped cards and envelopes. I tore a piece of Terminology Tissue Wrap sponging it with ink for the background. The pine bough and cones and sentiment are Waltzingmouse stamps and dies. The bow is a die from Lil'Inker Designs. The cones are up on foam dots and to finish it off, I added three enamel dots.
For my design, I used this week's Cas(e) this Sketch
Why do the weekends go by so fast?!
Stamps: Festive Foliage, Compact Sentiments - Waltzingmouse
Paper: Vintage Cream, Pure Poppy - PTI
Ink: Versafine Vintage Sepia, Archival Jet Black, Ranger Distress - Frayed Burlap
Accessories: dotted kraft bag - Impress, Tissue Wrap Terminology - Tim Holtz Idea-ology, Bow Die -Lil'Inker Designs, Pine cones die set - Waltzingmouse, enamel dots - Michaels, Scor-Tape, foam dots.

Julia this is so fun! I love the polka dot bag and all the beautiful embellishments you added. Those dies make this a breeze dont they?
Great bag - love the polka dots!

Oh my, you had to do it. I have been fighting getting the bow dies. This card/gift bag is really a winner! Very warm, which many are not right now, and so pretty too! Love the cone and how your layered it all too!
Cool!! This is one of those gifts I'd be torn up about opening! LOL I love it Julia!
