Quickie Gift Bag Re-Do using Sparkle and Shine Paper and Artbooking!

Check out my giveaway page HERE!!

Hey All!!

Can I just tell you how IN LOVE I am with the Artbooking Cartridge??? I wanted to start getting on my holiday crafting and I wanted to take a picture of something in a holiday gift bag, and guess what??? NO GIFT BAGS!!! AHHH! I did, however, have a TON of Valentines Day bags left over, and when I saw them, I KNEW I could re-purpose it!!!

I grabbed my Artbooking Cartridge, and the NEW Sparkle and Shine B & T Duos paper, and I went to work!!!

Here is what I came up with!!

I had a large piece of scrap green from some random paper I had, so I used that as the backdrop (garland) that I cut out on the Cricut. Then, I cut out a Tree from the Artbooking Cartridge! I used my Gypsy (but you could use CCR) to size it up correctly for the bag!

I then, used a piece of red scrap that I had and I adhered the piece I cut out of Artbooking (looks like garland) to. I cut around the edge, to make it fit, then, I used a 2 pieces of Sparkle & Shine Washi tape (Green Washi down first, then layers Silver Washi over it. Both came in the 3 pack!!!). After I did that, I placed the tree on, but thought it needed something to break up the color, so I cut an oval out of the Art Philosophy Cartridge at 1 inch. After I layed that oval down, THEN I put my tree up on foam tape on the front!

DONE!!

I'll admit, its not exactly "Christmasy" colors, but I really like it!

Here are the supplies:

Sparkle and Shine Paper Pack

Foam Tape

Art Philosophy

Artbooking

Sparkle and Shine Washi Tape

You can get ALL this in my online store!!

And don't forget! The Stamp of The Month is YOURS for $5 with a minimum $50 purchase! This Stamp is Scandinavian Wishes and its PERFECT for Holiday Cards!!!!

And also, be sure to check out the HOLIDAYS FROM THE HEART Holiday Gift Guide!! Its got some AWESOME items in it (Like the Sparkle and Shine Paper and Washi Tape!). And items are WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!!! Don't wait! Get your goodies before its too late!!!

OK all! Hope to catch you Craftin' and Stampin'!
