It's In The Bag for Country View Crafts

Good morning and a very happy Monday! I hope you had a lovely weekend, and now it's November - how did that happen! So we're halfway through Strictly and Bake Off, and that can only mean one thing, Christmas is coming.

 The new challenge this month at Country View Crafts is Christmas Gifting (definitely not a card), so I've made a gift bag.

It's just a plain kraft bag, but it's so sturdy, it will definitely take a Christmas present.

I started by spattering with some watered down white acrylic paint to give a snowy feel.

I tried stamping the sentiments directly onto the bag, but they really didn't show up enough, so I stamped them onto white card and cut them all out.

The Christmas tree is made up from Lisa Horton triangle dies and papers.

And there we are, all done. The tree has been stuck down with foam tape so it stands out nicely from the bag.

This was great fun to make, and it will definitely come into use this year.

This is what I've used, and all things Lisa Horton can be found here.

Have a very happy month, and thanks so much for looking x
