Hi there! Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas Eve! Last night I made a few last minute Christmas bags for some small gifts that I have and I thought I’d share here, too.

This Mama Elephant Favor Bag die has been used so many times over the years for every occasion under the sun, but this time I paired it with a few Simon Says Stamp dies.

This first one uses the CZ Merry Ornament die I created a shaker using vellum and acetate and filling it with some festive sequins. The one below is out of Khaki cardstock and using the CZ Ho Ho Deer Circle die. Of course when I add the tissue paper it will hid the gift inside, but I like looking at it when it’s empty:)

Lastly I made one out of Lipstick Red Cardstock and die cut the Merry Christmas Tree die right into the favor bag. I love these clean, simple looks even though my house looks like a bomb went off! My oldest daughter, Alex is currently baking Cathy Zielske’s sugar cookie recipe. Let’s hope we can frost them as good as Cathy does!

Wishing everyone a safe and healthy holiday! It is so cold here in Illinois. The pond is nearly ready to skate on and poor Hank the Tank can’t stay outside very long. His paws get full of little snowballs. Might have to buy him some puppy boots, ha! Thanks so much for stopping by!
