Homemade Holiday Project 7 (and 8)

Posted by Cathy on Nov 10, 2008 in Card kits, Tutorials | 4 comments

Well, much to everyone’s relief this may be my last project from the Homemade Holidays Kit (unless my fiendish little mind dreams something else up – I still have supplies left, so look out). I decided I wanted to use the chipboard snowflakes included in the kit to make little Christmas Ornaments. I plan to use them in place of bows on a package, so they become part of the gift too.

Yes, I’m still at it. The Homemade Holidays kit is really big – so its easy to make a bunch of projects.

The Homemade Holiday kit also contains a plain white bakery bag for you to embellish. The bag has a window to view goodies and is plastic lined to keep food fresh. It has a reusable tin closure at the top. There are so many ways to decorate this bag. I embellished my bag pretty simply with just some pattern paper strips and a tag – but I’m pleased with how it came out. Here are my instructions. Supplies from Kit: Charles Cardinal and Pine Bough Stamps Let it Snow...
