Happy Saturday!  Hope you are enjoying the HOP so far!  For today I created a quick and easy gift bag with card ensemble.   We always need a few quick and easy gifts at the ready just in case during the Christmas season.  

For the card, I used some of My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Christmas papers.   I stamped the Joy Tree image using versamark and embossed in gold.  I love this image!  So elegant and different with the different fonts and song shaped into a tree.  I actually made the tree a wee bit smaller by using the  Spellbinder's lacey pennant die to cut it out.   I love this option.  I added a picture so you can see how beautifully gold it is.   I added a Spellbinder's border, to the top of the card and topped it off with a few gold pearls.   I added a seam binding bow.  I finished with a few gold pearls and gold memory thread bow.   Please note the tiny stars in the background dp.  It mimics the stars on the tree.  Love that!

  I made the gift bag from ivory card stock and stamped the Christmas Collage stamp in versamark and gold embossed.  Cut out and adhered to the front of my bag.  This stamp is so detailed and has the perfect look.  It just completes the whole bag or card front with one stamp!  Love that!   I added some seam binding handles and a smaller Spellbinder's lacey pennant for tag that I lightly stamped in a different color with the same stamp.  I stuff the bag with a few goodies and was done!  I just fell in love with the hounds tooth print pencils I got in the dollar spot at Michael's.  I thought I would add a couple of those in just in case some of you are looking for quick and easy teacher gifts.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!
