DAY TEN: CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN

Today's surprise in the Artful*Inkers' "Countdown to Christmas" comes from Wilma in Kitchener - another great way to make treat bags with Stampin' Up!'s mini paper bags (featured in the Holiday Mini catalogue).

Wilma added some special touches: the Bashful Blue card stock has been embossed with the Northern Flurry Sizzix embossing folder to give some added texture; a half circle of velcro holds the flap closed & keeps the goodies tucked inside; the petal card punch was used to create the pocket on the front, and a white grosgrain ribbon handle adds the finishing touch. Oh, and don't forget the glitter on Frosty's hat and scarf!

Thanks Wilma for an adorable little gift bag in a really sweet colour combination!

We're almost halfway through the Christmas Countdown - and there have been some amazing hand-crafted creations so far ... wouldn't you agree? I can't wait to see what's still in store!

cheers
