I have been busy crafting the past few weeks and I've been having so much fun! I made several Christmas gift bags for a custom order; 6 each in two designs. Here are the bags:
This snowflake bag was made using pretty Christmas paper and snowflakes cut out of white paper using my Cricut. I also used my paper punch to make a scallop edging on the red paper.
To make this bag I also used my Cricut to cut out the letters for the word "sing". I used music note paper - actual patterned paper not the vintage sheet music that I have. I found out that the vintage paper sticks to the Cricut cutting mat and rips when you try to remove it, so using patterned paper was a much better idea. I typed the words "heaven & nature" and printed them on yellow patterned paper and than I sewed a red button for the dot on the i.
The Christmas trees were white when I bought them and I painted them green with a brown trunk:
It was a good project to do while watching a football game! Here are the trees once they dried:
I've also been making cards. I only have one photographed so far; here it is:
For this card I used a couple of stamps from a birthday set, and of course I used my Cricut to cut out the title block. Love my Cricut!
I have a few more cards to show you and a few more to make. Watch for more photos tomorrow!
