Well it is Staurday and I am sad to say that it is the last challenge for the Create with Connie and Mary Holiday Edition. We have had a blast sharing so many different projects over the last 8 weeks, all using the fabulous items from the current Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini. But remember you can still join and take advantage of recreating the projects anytime you want, as the site will still stay up for months to come.
Now on to the challenge! This week is for the Design Team only and we were asked to create Gift Packaging. The projects that we were working on this week focused on using Tags Til Christmas stamp set, Jolly Jingles Wheel, Peaceful Season Level 2 Hostess stamp set and the fun new Designer Fabrics. I still had a few items left out from my project tutorial so I decided to use them for todays challenge.
I LOVE the cute little Mini Lunch Sacks! Now I know you are all thinking -"they are brown paper bags and I can buy them anywhere" but honestly the quality is amazing. They are thick, sturdy and are also so easy to stamp on. You can use them for so many different out of the box ideas :) I inked up the holly and leaves from the Peaceful Season Hostess Set with my Cherry Cobbler and Always Artichoke Markers and randomly stamped all over the bag. Then I folded over the scalloped top of the bag and using my Crop a dile I punched two holes and threaded some of the beautiful Deck the Halls Designer Fabric through it.
The tag I made by cutting out one of the tags from Naturals Ivory card stock using the SU! exclusive Two Tags Die. (My favourite die). I sponged the edges with Always Artichoke then stamped the dove image with Crumb Cake ink and the greeting with Early Espresso. To finish it off I used a little bit of Victoria Crochet Trim and a beautiful Antique Brad. This is just the perfect size to put a special treat in.
Be sure to check out what the rest of the Design Team did this week:
Mary Brown – StamperCamper
Cristena Bagne – Gettin' Crafty

I also wanted to say how truly inspired I was over the past 8 weeks. And I am so very grateful to have had the pleasure of being on the Design Team with these fabulous ladies. Thank you again to Connie and Mary for letting me share my love of Stampin' Up! and creating with all of your subscribers.
Have a great weekend everyone,
