We are starting our Christmas celebrating early here this year as part of our extended family will be overseas for Christmas. I love to add some chocolates to gifts, especially when giving gift cards or money, as it makes it more festive. I seem to be stuck on red and white theme for Christmas again this year:)
I made the Christmas handbag using the Forever Young cartridge on the Cricut, and added some red and white polka dotted paper and some bling. It was the perfect size to hold a cellophane bag of chocolates.
I had some white pillow boxes in my stash that I bought at Spotlight some time ago. I cut out a gingerbread man tag using the Very Merry Tags cartridge and used clear glitter on the background.
It is so much fun to make a start on some Christmas projects.
Very special and sweet!
Cute ways to package chocolate gifts! I love those extra details you added to the purse, and that gingerbread man with the frosty background is adorable. So fun to give these kinds of gifts!
What a great idea! I’ll definitely be adding chocolate to my gift cards this year — thanks!
Great ideas I cant wait till next Christmas – I have the two cartridges you used now I am just waitng for my machine they are very hard to find at the moment
Hope you’re enjoying your early family Christmas today. Like most of our Aussie Christmases, it’s stinking hot!
The bags are delightful 🙂
Pretty polka dot purse! So many simple and clever ideas for holiday gift giving.
Anything with polkadots has me right away 🙂 Looks like you are right into the spirit of things…I love the little bag 🙂
You make the present a present already. I don’t know if I would want to open them ;o)
Thanks for sharing all your wonderful ideas! I am just starting my Christmas preparation!
Lisa, what a wonderful mini bag you have made!! I love it! All in it!! Delicate!
The tag is also a bright work!
I will check the other post…
Bonjour, c’est magnifique. Peux-t-on avoir le tutoriel de ce petit sac Ă pois ?
Bonne journée
Bonjour Lilou. Sorry – there is no tutorial. We used a cartridge from the Cricut Expression digital cutting machine. http://us.cricut.com/shopping/detail-department-Forever-Young-0-884.aspx
