Gift Bags

This is great idea to do after after all the shopping everyone did this past weekend.  I have taken a bag from Sephora and decorated it to use a gift bag. Sephora is one of my favorite stores and I liked the black bag.  I did this more for a birthday because of the designer paper I chose.  To make it a Christmas bag, all you'd have to do is use Christmas designer paper.  I cut the designer paper in 3" squares.  I used the flower from the Sunshine Wishes Thinlit as the bow.  I cut a strip 1/4" x 3" for the ribbon.  Thank you Patty Bennett for the idea.

Here is the recipe:
Pop of Pink Specialty Designer Paper (#141648)
Gold Foil Sheets (#132622)
Sunshine Wishes Thinlits (#141489)

Thank you for visiting today.  Have a blessed day.  Please leave a comment on your bag you can make as a gift bag, what designer paper you would us.  This would help give ideas to everyone.

Cookie Cutter Christmas Card

I have a fun Christmas card to share with you today.  Great to give to all the bakers you know with your friends and family.  It is a fun and easy card to create.  
To create the handles for the baking pan, I punched out two circles (34" punch) on the smoky slate card stock.  Then I put the silver foil paper over it and you don't see the holes.



The recipe:
Cookie Cutter Christmas Bundle (#143493)
Real Red (#102482), Chocolate Chip (#102218), Smoky Slate (#131202) and Whisper White (#100730) card stock
Silver Foil Card stock (#132178)
Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper (#141981)
Chocolate Chip stamp pad (#126979)
Holly Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (#141634)
3/4" Circle Punch (#119873)

Swirly Scribbles Happy Birthday

This is a fun birthday card to create.  I like the colors for this card.  We are using the Swirly Scribbles thinlits.  I do have to confess that when the new catalog came out in June, this stamp set or thinlits were not on high on my wish list.  Then I saw all the samples that other demonstrators were doing with the set and it changed my mind.  I can't believe how many cards I have created using this set.  I am glad I changed my mind about this set.  I do use wax paper with this thinlit because the card stock does come out so much easier.  Put the wax between the card stock and thinlit.  Makes is so my easier to pop the card stock from the thinlit.

Here is the recipe:
Swirly Bird stamp set (#141749 photopolymer)
Whisper White (#100730), Smoky Slate (#131202) and Dapper Denim (#141414) card stock
Dapper Denim (#141394) and Basic Black Archival (#140931) stamp pads
Banner Triple Punch (#138292)
Woodgrain Textured Impression Embossing Folder (#127821)
Swirly Scribbles Thinlits (#141497)
