Convention Swap

I love to decorate gift bags!  So I joined a great swap at the Stampin' UP Convention, held last month.  We were to decorate the 5x7" size bags for various occasions--I chose the Christmas swap.

My bag has many layers and textures and features the beautiful new "Season of Style Designer Series Paper" from the Holiday Catalog (#132340, $10.95).

I used the Deco Labels Framelits (#130102, $24.95) and the Big Shot (don't have one?  You NEED one of these!), and ran the Whisper White layer through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder (#119976, $7.95).  The "gifts" were cut/punched from the DSP, and decorated with the gorgeous new Silver 1/8" Ribbon (#132137, $4.95).  I also added a strip of 1-1/4" Burlap Ribbon (#132140, $7.95) which is the perfect vintage touch!

Since the bag needed a gift tag, I copied the gift stack using the Wishing You (w: #131748, $14.95, c: #131751, $11.95) stamp set and cut out using the Chalk Talk Framelits (#129983, $24.95). 

I have ONE gift package ready to go...

Let's get creating!
