Beautiful & Simple Creations for Christmas Packaging

This adorable little bag is made with the Big Shot and the Fancy Favor Box die from Stampin' Up.  It was so simple to make!  Just choose a piece of Designer Series paper and run it through the Big Shot, fold on the crease lines, and adhere on one side and the bottom flaps and you're done!  Since I used the Christmas Cocoa Specialty Designer Series paper, I had to use Dasher as a compliment.  I think it turned out simply elegant!  You can put candy or a little gift inside the bag and you've got a great homemade gift package!


Supplies
Stamps:  Dasher
Cardstock:  Whisper White, Christmas Cocoa Specialty Designer Series Paper
Ink:  Soft Suede
Accessories:  Soft Suede Ribbon, Big Shot, Fancy Favor Box Die, Sponge

Here is another simple gift you can make to let someone know that you are thinking of them.  This little pocket was made using the Big Shot and the Petal Card Die.  After choosing the Christmas Cocoa Specialty Designer Series paper, I ran it through the Big Shot and folded 3 of the petals in and adhered them to each other where they met.  I took a piece of coordinating Designer Series paper and made a "belly band" to go around the petal pocket.  I cut out the bird and snowflake with the Big Shot and the Stampin' Up Sizzlets Merry Details die and layered them on top of the belly band.  To complete this little package, I slipped an individually wrapped Ghirardelli square of chocolate inside.  You can't go wrong with chocolate!


Supplies
Cardstock:  Christmas Cocoa Specialty Designer Series Paper; Whisper White, Soft Suede Cardstock

I hope these ideas inspire you to create some awesome packages for Christmas!
