Holiday Wrap Part I

Along with creating coordinating envelopes as we did yesterday, I really enjoy designing gift bags, gift card holders, etc.  Here is my first of this holiday season.  (Probably the first of many!)  I don’t know if they will all be this easy, but this one came together in a snap!

Merry & Bright

The Thomas Kinkade Christmas papers made this one an easy task.  The papers are 8″ x 8″ and my bag just happened to be 8″ wide.  It’s so nice when things work out like that!

I repeatedly stamped “Silent Night” onto a piece of white snowflake patterned paper from M&BCU5the pack, then added the velvet ribbon along the seams. 

I applied Diamond Stickles to the trees, ground and house.   You can see the sparkles a bit better in this smaller picture.  (Still not as sparkly as in person though.)

To mat the sentiment on the card, I punched two ovals (the same size as the white sentiment piece) and overlapped them behind the sentiment.  It works well enough if you don’t have the next size up punch for matting.  (Note to self:  MUST get more Nestabilities!)

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!
