For my project this  month, the beautifully talented Meredith inspired me.  Her blog is chocked full of just gorgeous cards and projects.  I just love the wonderful box in bag she created here. The super easy tutorial is HERE at Splitcoaststampers.

 

 

 

With Christmas just around the corner, I always try to keep my eyes opened for fun little gifts to give others.  However, oftentimes the hardest part is the wrapping.  Presentation is everything.  These little box in a bag are easy to make and literally cost pennies to create. Plus, with the little box in the bottom they can hold quite a bit of stuff and are sturdy as well.   Gives lots of options for all kinds of fun gifts from hand lotions, ornaments, to sweet confections.  I love how Meredith stamped her own background paper.  A designer after my own heart.  I love to create some DP by ME!  I chose to make three little bags for Christmas.  I just love how they turned out and they were super fun to make as well.

For my first box in a bag I am using Flourishes Winter Bouquet  and Sweets of the Season stamp sets.I am using Flourishes Classic Ivory card stock.  I stamped the winter bouquet with Versa Mark.  I finished with a cream seam binding bow.

 

For my second box in a bag I am using Flourishes  Sweets of the Season and the snowflakes from Warm Winter Wishes. I used some kraft card stock and red card stock along with Flourishes Classic Ivory card stock.  I used Memento Cocoa, Rhubarb, and Sky inks.  The snowflakes were stamped with some cream pigment ink.  The border at the bottom is in Spellbinder's Creative Pages Two dies.  I also used the Spellbinder's Fancy Tags   for the closure topper.   I finished with a cream seam binding bow and Spellbinder's ornament die used as a tag.

For my third box in a bag I am using Christmas Classics and Christmas Music stamp sets.  I am using Flourishes Classic Ivory card stock.  I stamped the the bird and branch image with Memento Cocoa and the musical score image with Memento Desert Sand inks.  I tried to keep this one with a more manly feel.   I finished with a cream seam binding bow.

 

I hope you've enjoyed your visit in America!   The next stop on your Beautiful World Tour is....

 

As always thanks so much for stopping by!  Enjoy your Beautiful World Tour!
