Bugaboo Christmas Gift Bag

Good day I am here again with another make for the Christmas in July at Bugaboo.

This time it is for Day 3 challenge of Gift wrapping. 

This could be anything that holds a gift.

So i have gone for a Gift Bag.

Just had to use these cute raindeer blocks. the added twist is to use Non Traditional colours.

Used a Kraft bag and some kraft card for the tag.

Die cuts are xcut and unbranded

image coloured with promarkers

DP Marianne designs Christmas Time

Ribbon and glitter and shades of Purple card from stash

3d gloss on the noses

Well I just need to fill it for Christmas and thats another present sorted.

Hope you like and I think the Purple and Kraft is not Traditional although I do wonder these days what is and isnt.

Thanks for popping by i will be back again very soon with another post.

Christmas in July at Bugaboo

Welcome have you seen that Bugaboo is doing their week long Christmas in July.

I so love doing this as it helps me get my Christmas box looking so much more ready and also kick starts me into building my box up.

My card is for Day 1 which is Sparkle & Shine.

 Sorry about the light on the picture but it is night time and hard to get the light right to show all the glitter in the day light.

The image is Eggbert Winter

I cut a snowflake background with a large die and then stick it to a square of double sided sheet then covered it in Tonic silver glitter. This gave me a background and also a glitter boarder. Added snowflake dies in blue and white

A stuitched curved boarder with some ribbon on.

Stitched tonic circle for the image and the sentiment which is a clear stamp

Some pearls for the centres of the snowflake.

Image has been coloured with my promarkers and I kept it to the 2 colours of brown and blue.

Well hope you like. 

Have you joined in the fun yet still time.

Thanks for popping by I will be back shortly with another Christmas card.
