Holiday Gift Bags - Decorated Using Cricut Cartridges

Hi Everyone! For our recent blog hop, the participants had a Secret Santa event where we made something for one of the blog members. I decorated gift bags  using various Cricut Cartridges for my blogging friends Jill and Bobby Hardgrove, the Cricut Couple.

 

 On this first bag I used Snowman Friends to cut out the snowman and Very Merry Tags for the snowflake and the gift tag. I punched the edges of the mat with the Martha Stewart Snowflake Punch.

The next bag I used the Cuttlebug Snowflake folder and the Very Merry Tags cartridge to cut out the snowflake and the tag. I punched around the paper with the Martha Stewart Snowflake Punches.

The next bag may be my favorite - I used the George cartridge to cut out three different size round squares to form Santa's belt buckle and then I just put a strip of black paper across the bag to make it look like a belt. I cut the Santa tag from Very Merry Tags. I used Stickles on Santa's hat to make it sparkle and chalk on his cheeks to make them rosy!!

Now for the last bag - I simply cut the HOHOHO out using the Very Merry Tags and pop dotted it and used the same cartridge for the tag.

I had so much fun making these bags. I hope the person that received them will love them as much as I did. Thank you for visiting our blog and we hope you found some inspiration today. We hope you'll come back soon and we love to read your comments. Until another day, God Bless You! Donna

4th Grade Classroom Door - Every Child Is A Gift

Hi Everyone - I worked yesterday decorating Jacob's teacher's door for Christmas. I made the tag with Very Merry Tags and wrote "Every Child Is A Gift" on it. I cut the Christmas tree on the 24" mat using the Very Merry Tags Christmas Tree. I cut three bows using Tie The Knot and glued them together to make the bow look 3D. I then cut different size presents from Very Merry Tags, Create A Critter, Sweet Treats. I wrote all the names of the children on the presents and made one for Ms. Pennington too. Can you guess who has the biggest present under the tree?

Ms. Pennington is going to put a big bow on the door beside the tag. That'll complete the look. Thanks for visiting our blog. We hope you find some inspiration. Until another day, God Bless You!! Donna
