25 Days of Christmas - Gift Bag and Tag

Today's Christmas project is a coordinating gift bag and tag set.



The gift bag is a plain white bag I got at JoAnn Fabric and Crafts a few years ago.  I cut a piece of glittery green card stock at 7"x6," then some red card stock at 6 1/2"x5 1/2," and finally some white card stock at 6 1/4"x5 1/4."  I embossed the white card stock with one of the Wedding Suite embossing folders from ProvoCraft.



The ornament is from the "Winter Wonderland" cartridge and can be found on page 34.  I cut it at 3 1/2."  I covered the white part of the ornament with carrara marble glitter, by Martha Stewart.  I adhered it to the bag using foam tape for a little dimension.



The tag is from "Winter Woodland."  It is on page 74, the tag feature, and is cut at 2 1/2."  The holly image on the tag is from "Winter Wonderland."  It is on pages 39-40 of the handbook and was cut at 2."  The white ribbon is covered in more of the carrara marble glitter.  The sentiment on the front of the tag is from My Craft Spot, the "Mistletoe" set.  The sentiment on the back of the tag is from Scrappy Moms Stamps, the "Winter Wishes" set and the to and from are also Scrappy Moms Stamps, the "Everyday Greetings" set.  I tied the tag on with some baker's twine, in maraschino and peapod, by The Twinery.


I made this for the following challenges:
BBTB2: gift tag
Fantabulous Cricut: anything but a card, holiday theme
Scrappy Moms Stamps: Christmas project
My Craft Spot: wrap it up
Exploring Cricut: Christmas project
Die Cuttin' Divas: holiday related project

  7. Perfect matching set! I bought a bunch of plain kraft gift bags to decorate, but haven't had time yet. I like the idea of matching the tag, so it is something to look forward to doing during Winter Break.

    Happy Holidays,
