Christmas Kraft Gift Bags 2

Today as a member of Pause Dream Enjoy Design Team I want to let you know about the new challenge Use Your Stash. The stash I used is Kraft cardstock and Christmas ribbon I've had for a long time but kept hesitating to use.

Created these Christmas Kraft Gift Bags similar to the first ones I made that you can check out here.

I used Kraft cardstock for the pattern Kraft cardstock and green cardstock for the handle. Used a StitchyBear digi, Christmas Day, Christmas Tickets for the top of the handle. Used green striped Kraft cardstock for underneath of the handle.

Used Spellbinder for sentiment tag. Stamped "happy holidays" sentiment.

Added some sparkly red/green/white ribbon.

















brads: 2 mini gold - to attach handle to gift bag
digi: Stitchy Bear Christmas Day - Christmas Tickets on handle
ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
paper:
krafty Christmas cardstock
cardstock - green
punch: Crop-A-Dile - used for holes for handle
ribbon:Trim A Tree
Spellbinder: Shape Back to Basics Tags
stamp: Fiskars 'tis the season - sentiment "happy holidays"
tape: red adhesive - holds gift bag together better than ATG adhesive   
tools: Martha Stewart score board
