Mmmmm...yes please!

Hello again.  Here I am with another of those little gift bags, using an inexpensive brown paper bag.  You can never have too many of these...and they can be re-gifted and used again.


For today's project I've used an image from The Paper Shelter (A Penguin In My Cocoa), and a sentiment stamp from Inkadinkado (Winter Trails).  I've again coloured with copics, adding a bit of glitter to the ribbon.  The sentiment has been heat embossed with gold embossing powder, and as you will notice, then edged with DI.

The image is cut out with the Spellbinders Labels Eighteen and attached with foam tabs, positioned so that the top of the bag tucks in behind for closing.  Nice and easy!

The DP is an older one from the Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses line...a nice simple pattern to complement the busy image.  The red ribbon and added greenery gives just a bit of decoration to complete the festive look.

Hope you enjoyed your visit and can take away a few ideas.  Have a great day!

  2. Finding a penguin in your cocoa would certainly make you look twice, or perhaps you'd added something a little stronger and that's why you see penguins!

    Great bag Joyce and that image is priceless!
