This week for our challenge over at A Spoon Full of Sugar we would like to see some sparkle to your creations. I have made a gift bag using one of the new release High Hopes stamps "Santa Portrait" and an older but very useful stamp To: From: Isn't he just one of the cutest Santa's ever!
I would like to thank my friend Jakki for this fabulous idea and you can see her spooky project here. I have added some sparkle to Santa's hat with stickles. Ok.. I know my project isn't too sparkly but do shiny sweet wrappers also count?
Instructions: The bag I used is a 6" x 4" cello. I have used the largest scalloped circle nestability for the plain card stock and the largest circle nestability for the patterned paper. I stuck the pattered circle in the centre of the scalloped circle. I then scored the centre on the plain side and folded in half to make the tab. I punched two holes on the back of the tab to add the ribbon handle. I then added double sided tape to the back of the bag and stuck to back of the tab. I added a velcro fastener to the front of the bag so it can be opened and closed. Finishing touch was to add Santa and the tag.. oh yes and the yummy sweets! The tags were cut using SU Small Tag and Tag punches.
These little gift bags would be ideal to give to your children's teaching assistant's/helpers, maybe an elderly neighbour or your children's little friends. Who wouldn't appreciate a bag of yummy chocolates! If you have time before Friday you could make some Halloween treat bags like Jakki's project. They would even make great party bags!

Such a cute Santa!! I love christmas stamps some of my other stamps get passed on as I tire of them but never my Christmas stamps. Thanks for sharing . Ann Lind
Thanks for your compliments on my blog :)
This looks great!! I like especialy what you did with the white part of the had. The funny thing is that I'm preparing something like this as a birthday treat for the school of my nieces (twin), they are getting 4 in november (just a week after my birthday). In the bag will be homemade cookies (made by the girls) and the immage is the girl with the cookies by Whiff of Joy! I'm colouring like crazy, haha!!
There are some images on their way to you and Zoe.
Hugs, Renata
