I am in awe of how many products this amazing lady has her name on...and then trying to choose just what line to work with! Obviously I went Christmas this time around-
First up I decided on a homemade Christmas theme- My kids are big into making stuff- and we never seem to have that perfect something to give it in!
For my first project I made a gift bag. I die cut the white rectangle and the green scalloped rectangle. The trees are epoxy stickers. After I adhered them, I added a little bit of glitter to the edges of the white layer.
The patterned paper and epoxy stickers are from her Christmas Traditions line by Creative Imaginations. The burgundy layer is stamped using her Fall Family Memories set from Unity Stamp Company. The inside tissue paper is stamped with the reindeer and circle images from the Greetings of Christmas stamp set. To give it a little flair I added a few jingle bells tied on with silver cord.
To make this gift bag- trim your card stock to 6 x 9. You'll need two pieces- punch the handle in each layer. Then take a lunch sack and trim down too where it doesn't show above the handle. Adhere one side of the lunch sack, fold the bottom flap down and repeat with the back side. Decorate the front as desired- super easy way to dress up any hand made item!
Next up is a cookie tin made from a recycled Crystal light container. The base layer is stamped with images from the Greetings of Christmas set. Then I wrapped some patterned paper from the Christmas Traditions line. I die cut the label shape and stamped the sentiment from the Greetings of Christmas set. A few buttons, twine, and a bow finish it off. It's read to be filled with HOMEMADE cookies which we ate all of already so I think I will need to schedule a baking day again soon!!
Next on the list is the oh-so-amazing Eva!

That is a great Idea for the crystal light container I have a bunch of them in a cupboard for bug containers for my son's but I like your idea more. :D
Those are really cute. Never thought to stamp the tissue paper! Genius!! Love how you recycled the container, I am on the lookout for cheap packages to give my cookies away in. Who would have thought?! I hear ya on the cookies, I am trying to wait until the last possible minute so that doesn't happen to us. LOL Thanks for sharing, now hopping along...

You can't let such a pretty cookie tin sit in a cupboard - guess you'll have to keep making cookies so you can properly show it off! ;)

What a cute way to dress up a gift bag and I love the re-use of the Crystal Light container. I could do the same with my cappuccino mix containers. Thanks for the idea!!
Super Cute~ Love the recycled Crystal light container, great idea~
One of the great things about being a crafter is always being able to come up with something to put the gift in.
Cute bag!! I love how you recycled your crystal light canister. I think I might have to make one of those! Too cute! :)
