Christmas Gift Bags

This is my second post of the day,for my FCCB post click here.
 
We have a new challenge over at BBTB2,the lovely Suzanne has asked us to decorate a gift bag or gift tag using cricut cuts. I love making gift bags so this was right up my alley.
I have 2 different projects to share with you.
 
My first is a vintage feel bag....
 
I used an old favourite, TBBM to make the bag cut at 4.5" and used a MS punch for the edge.
The DP is the Turtle Dove Collection by Kaisercraft. The wreath is cut at 2" from Dec 25th and has clear rock candy distress crackle paint on it. The sentiment is from Jingle All the Way by My Craft Spot. A wire handle and ribbon, hemp and a wood button just to finish it off.
 
 
My next bag I kept really simple and modern...
 
I added this cute little gingerbread boy from Create a Critter 2 to a plain gift bag.
He's cut at 3" and it didn't take many embellishments to  pretty the bag up. Just popped him up with 3d foam for effect.
 
There is lots of stunning inspiration for you over at BBTB2,so do check it out and hope you come and join in the fun. I am so pleased to have a couple of bags done ready for the festive season.
 
 
 Looking forward to seeing your bags or tags.
