We are welcoming the lovely and super talented Maaike aka Cards by Maaike into the Designer Spotlight this month! Please hop on over to say 'Hi' and leave her a nice comment!

Now, here are some gift card bags I made using Gift Card Bag,  Fresh Baked 1, and Tattered Christmas set from Tim Holtz Collection.
These bags are very small and they just fit with regular gift cards.  



I started by diecutting Gift Card Bag out of Neenah Desert Storm paper and assembled card envelopes. I then embellished each bag using stamps and dies about which I have shared details below.





For the mitten bag, I heat embossed Critter Sweaters in white on Peacock Teal Cardstock, then cut using Fresh Baked 1 Dies to make a mitten.  Sentiment from the same set was heat embossed in white and I fussy cut it into banner shape. Stamped Frozen Fractals on the bag using Frayed Burlap.  





For the snowman bag, I assembled a snowman using Fresh Baked 1 Dies. Colored pieces were cut from Neenah Desert Storm paper and I used distress inks and copic markers to color them. For snowy background, I used my White pen to express falling snow and ground.



The tree image was from Tattered Christmas set. I colored the tree using Altenew Brush Markers and waterbrush then I cut it using Tattered Christmas Coordinating Dies. I further embellished my bag using some Pretty Pink Posh Jewels.





So now it’s YOUR turn. 
 Happy Crafting
