Easy Holiday Gift Bag

Last weekend I had a card class and an Open House. Yes, it was a busy weekend!  Here is the fun and easy bag that guests made as their free make and take during my Open House last Sunday.  They used the Cookie Cutter stamp set and coordinating punch, Cookie Cutter Builder Punch with cafe bags.

It would not take long at all to make bags like this for neighbors and friends!

3" x 6" of Festive Farm House Designer Series Paper

Stamp a saying on 2-1/2" x 3" Whisper White card stock

Stamp the reindeer image on a scrap of Crumb Cake and punch out with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch

Use Dimensionals to pop up the reindeer from the background 

2-5/8" x 3-1/8" Cherry Cobbler card stock goes behind the white card stock

Use the Sprig Punch for the greenery with red baker's twine, and glue dots

The Festive Farm House Designer Series Paper works great, and so do any other Holiday Designer Series Papers for projects like this.

This was a quick and easy treat bag to make.  If you have questions or need anything let me know!

Fun Elf Shoes Gift Bags

I saw this idea at my friends house and had to share. Elf Shoes on a bag, it's so cute!  She go the idea from Becky Roberts.

Want to make your own?  Here's how I made them for the bags, but you could also make cards, tags and more with this idea!  I used bags I got at a craft store.

Step 1 - Use your Big Shot and Top Note Die
Step 2 - cut it into the pieces shown
     Cut in half and use 1 half for the elf bottom
     Cut off a section of the other half (long strip that you will not need), and cut shorter end in half the other way (see photo)  
Step 3 - Use a Textured Embossing Folder on the top half
Step 4 - Punch the 2 bottom pieces with the Extra Large Oval Punch, (used to be called the Wide Oval Punch) punch out a small piece so it looks more like shoes (see the right image above).

 To shape the shoe tops you only need to punch a small part of your die cut.

 Here's another image to explain the cuts.

When you are done you have his bottom and 2 shoes.  Plus a strip of Trim The Tree Designer Series Paper (DSP) Stack (only $6.95 for 48 sheets, double-sided) for each leg and 2 circles for the tops of his shoes.  I used 1/2" strips for the legs and the 1/2" circle punch for the circles on top of the shoes.

I used Sticky Strip for the Cherry Cobbler pieces.  Fast Fuse for the DSP strips that make his legs. Dimensionals for the small Garden Green circles.  Dimensionals are only $3.95 for 300 dots! It's a great deal, I use them ALL the time!

 Tie it off with a ribbon at the top and a tag too.

I used Cherry Cobbler 1" Sheer Linen Ribbon, but there are LOTS of Pretty Stampin'Up! Ribbons you can use to finish off your projects.
