Snowmen in Sweaters Holiday Gift Bag with Nicky

Well hello everyone, this is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog where I'm sharing a fun Snowmen In Sweaters Holiday Gift Bag project. Read on for all the details:

I started by taking two matching sheets of patterned paper from the All Is Bright 6 x 6 Cardstock and I assembled the Sweet Treats Bag Die which is a very simple process and can be found in a useful video created by Sunny owner Mendi in THIS VIDEO.

I then adorned the bag with two snow drifts at the bottom of both the front and the back, using the Slimline Nature Borders Die, and I added a double layer of lace around the top edge (also front and back) using the Eyelet Lace Borders Die.

With the bag formed I used some cotton cord and knotted the handles in place and set it to one side.

I stamped the snowmen from Snowmen In Sweaters using Memento Ink in Black Tuxedo and I coloured the images with the following Copic marker combinations inspired by colours from the patterned paper:

Snowmen - C3, C1, C0, BG000
Teal - BG49, BG15, BG32
Red - R59, R39, R29, R27
Pink - RV63, RV52
Black - T9, T6, T4
White - C3, C1, C0
Blush - R22, R21, R20, R00
Noses - YR09, YR04

I shaded their coloured clothing using T3 and T2. Images were die cut, with the coordinating Snowmen In Sweaters Die, then highlighted with a white gel pen and applied to the bag with foam tape.

To adorn the bag further I added the little gift tag with the sentiment stamped from Happy Thoughts, I also added some Lacy Snowflakes die-cuts and a few sparkling clear sequins.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today to read about this treat bag, I hope you feel inspired to tackle one for yourself. Happy crafting!
