Well we're here are at the half way mark of another week...AND...almost at the end of another month...YIKES!! Best of all it's time to begin another brand new challenge at Midweek Magnolias...our sponsor is as always Magnolia Sweden...AND...we have a SUPER easy theme for the next two weeks..."Christmas is Coming"...perfect for you all to finish up or get going on those "special" Christmas cards!!
I always love doing 3D or trying different things to shake up the gray matter...AND...I've always admired the gift bags that all you talented crafters have created...BUT...I've never done one!! So I bought these cute little white bags and waded in...
Here is what I came up with...
please click on the first image for a closer view/slideshow...
DP is Maja Design from both the "Home for the Holidays" and "Joyous Winterdays" collections...WOW I LOVE these papers!!!...
the penguin bag sentiment says "Cold Hands Warm Heart"...Rudolph bag says "Jingle Bells Jingle Bells Jingle All the Way"...bear Bag says Think Snow" and are all made by High Hopes Stamps...
the white fringe on the top is from Michael's
closer of these three darling friends...
they are all from the "Winter Wonderland" 2013 collection...
coloured with my copics...
dusted with Chunky White Frantage...
noses, eyes and Rudolph's hooves have Glossy Accents...
all are matted on cheesecloth and Rudolph's has some sparkly ribbon behind as well...
all three bags are decorated with crystal/rhinestone stick pins from The Ribbon Girl that I've added some beads from my stash to...
finished off with some silver satin snowflake ribbon from Michael's and a diamanté snowflake also from The Ribbon Girl...
I stamped the sentiments onto white chiffon ribbon with Stazon...
tags were punched out using a Marvy punch...
I added ribbon and string...
I attached with clothes pins that I painted white and added a silver flower...
this way they can be taken off to sign you name/personal message...
Oh my they were so fun to make and worked up relatively quick!!
