If you celebrate turkey day in your neck of the woods, I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving! Whisker Graphics polka dot bags were folded in half and sewn into a little pocket like this one for today's projects. If I see Dan, my UPS driver, hopefully he'll have more of their Divine Twine spools today, along with more of these bags and those adorable notebook bags for the store.
I'm using these as gift card holders for the holidays!
A Martha Flower Bed punch was used along the bag tops. Very inspired by Anabelle O'Malley's bags.
Folded a trimmed polka dot bag in half horizontally, then adhered two English doilies. Machine stitched three sides to form a pocket.
Centered the Martha punch along the opening and punched the bag top.
Die cut merry (Papertrey Ink) sentiment from Cranberry cardstock (Memory Box) and adhered using foam tape. I used the foam tape sparingly - dear husband might consider purchasing stock in 3M with the amount of foam tape I personally use (haha), but one does not need a lot of it to secure this small die cut firmly. The ornament die is also Papertrey; patterened paper is Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses, as are the buttons. White cardstock insert was cut to fit. Just add a gift card and - bam! Done.
Anyone going shopping today? Already done? I do not venture out on Black Friday... I much prefer visits by Mr. Dan/UPS and staying warm - inside! Have fun if you are going and hope it is warm where you are at!
