Gift Bags

Gift are purchased. Not to wrapping. Or in my case, decorating the gift bags.
My son's family are all runners, even outside in the cold and snow. So they are getting warm socks with lip balm, Starbuck's cards, other gift cards, and for the girls--bath bombs for a warm tub soak after running, all tucked inside the stocking.
The socks are what inspired by gift bag decorations.

These are great ways to use up some leftover bits of Christmas design papers. The stocking die is from My Creative Time. To get a set, die cut one, then flip the paper and die cut another.  I punched holes in the edge of the bag--don't punch the whole circle, just half so the hole is not too large.  Run the ribbon through and secure inside the bag with glue dots. Attach the stockings with tiny clothespins. I used glue dots to secure the top of the stockings and small glue dots behind the clothespins just for a little more security.
I love how these turned out.

Another gift bag for a hostess gift of lavender candle and bath soak.

Here I stamped lavender flowers and then rubbed SU Highland Heather ink over them. And some green ink to ground them. The sentiment is also from SU.
