Christmas Bags

It's Friday!!!  This is the last Christmas project I will share this year and it's for Unity's Friends with Flair.  I needed a couple of bags to put money and a gift card inside.  This is what I did.


Using some canvas bags I had, I stamped the image with Staz On (hopefully the image will last).  The image is from Unity's stamp set Christmas Wishes.


Some bling and ribbon was needed to jazz it up a bit.  I thought about sewing the ribbon on, but it was easier to glue it on the bag.  Make sure you put a thick cardstock or cardboard between, even when you stamp the image.  I had to Stickle the heart for a little bling.

Here's another bag I made using the same stamp set.


This was the first bag I made.  I learned that you need to press and let the stamp set for a few for a darker image.  Again, ribbon and twine was used on the bottom.


This time I used Liquid Pearls for the star.  These were very easy to make.  Hope everyone had a great Christmas and thank goodness a new year is on it's way!!  

thanks for looking and reading :o)

What pretty gift bags Tina .....I'm sure that they were received as gratefully as the enclosed gift. I love the ribbons you have used and the Stick les do give a lovely bit of sparkle. Good luck in our extended challenge. Ingrid xx ( OSAAT Team )

Great gift bags, Tina! I love that you glued the ribbon on! I don't sew, so that's a technique I can scrap lift (gluing). Very pretty indeed! Happy New Year!
