Christmas Gift Bag

Ever since purchasing the Simply Scored Scoring Tool from Stampin' UP!, I have been itching to use it!  Today I decided to design and make a gift bag using an 8 1/2" X11" piece of cardstock as the base.  I used the Create with Connie and Mary Sketch Challenge to decorate the bag and was inspired to use Stampin' Pastels when I saw Hand Stamped Sentiments Technique Challenge to use Shaving Cream, Pastels, or Crayons.

 

The background on the Very Vanilla Cardstock was created by stamping the Pointsetta stamp from Stampin' UP!'s Bells & Boughs stamp set in Versa Mark Ink then using Real Red and Old Olive Stampin' Pastels to add color.

 

The bow was created by layering Victoria Crochet Trim to create 3 bows basically on top of each other then using Linen Thread to bind them together.  I added 2 Jingle Bells to for fun:).

After using Crystal Effects on the ornament image, I sprinkled on Stampin' UP Glitter and Glass Glitter.

Don't forget to check out the other projects made for these challenges:

Here is my template for this gift bag (all of the lines are to score except the two with red by them and "cut"):

Hope you like it!
