Hello everyone, it’s Friday again!
I’m sharing these very Fun Festive Giftbags with you all today.
How adorable are these!?
The Christmas Pudding if my favourite and a great way of using up your brown cardstock!
Santa’s Trousers are very cute too!
These are very easy to make and can be adapted to any size you like.
To make these you will need…
For the Christmas Pudding
2 pieces of 12″ x 12″ Brown cardstock for the front and back of your gift bag.
1 piece of 5″ x 6″ white cardstock for your base. Score along the short side at 1/2″ & 4.1/2
2 pieces of 5″ x 8.1/4 white cardstock for your sides. Score along the short side at 1/2″ & 4.1/2, then score along the long side at 1/2″
1 piece of white A4 or Letter size cardstock for your icing effect.
Ribbon or cardstock for your handles.
A 1″ punch or die to make 3 red circles for berries.
A couple of green leaf die-cuts or some fake leaves as I used.
For the Christmas Pudding, I set my Xcut Circle Cutter to 11″
For Santa’s Trousers
2 pieces of A4 or Letter size red cardstock for the front and back of your gift bag.
1 piece of 5″ x 6″ white cardstock for the base. Score along the 5″ side at 1/2″ & 4.1/2
2 pieces of 5″ x 6.1/2 white cardstock for the sides. Score along the 5″ side at 1/2″ x 4.1/2, then rotate and score along the longer side at 1/2″
1 piece of 1.1/2 x 11″ black cardstock for the belt detail.
2 pieces of 1″ by any length you like of red cardstock for the handles.
Gold buttons and belt buckle to decorate or gold cardstock will perfect for this detail.
For Santa’s Trousers, I set my Xcut Circle Cutter to 9″
To cut my circles I used my favourite Xcut Circle Cutter.
Check out my full tutorial below.
I love the detail on the Christmas Pudding.
The real hardware on Santa’s Trousers really stands out.
As I mention in my tutorial these are very roomy and easy to alter to suit your needs.
Thank you all for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Happy crafting
Sam
