Gift Sacks & Tags

Thinking that sentiment is from SU, the blue diecut snowflake is an spellbinders die, with an K&Co. sticker on it.
also bought a package of smaller gift bags at M's and decided to rub some walnut ink tint (bought this at an CK convention maybe 7 or 8 or 9 years ago, luckily it still works lol) into it for the heck of it. this bag is empty. its big enough to hold say movie tickets or a gift card. etc.
felt ribbon from M's ( this year ) is attached to the sack with red liner double sided tape.
SU ornament stamp & Sentiment, Kaiser sunflower yellow pearl. empty.
That is an dollar bin sentiment ( this year probably M's) the paper flowers are either Prima or CTMH, dont remember they are sorted by color in old canning jars in my room.
Now this is something new, a while back I won and 20.00 Ippity gift card challenge making a tag card and this is one of the sets I ended up choosing ( gingham Christmas greetings)
another something New to me, this deer is from the paper and such set deer dad. with some SU & Hero Arts sentiments.
Just another angle.
These SU ornaments that were a gift in last years wish rak Christmas exchange from MommaPatti, they are heat embossed in silver on Night of Navy then punched, added a Hero Arts rhinestone that Jan gave me a long time ago, tied some May Arts irridescent cord around the tops and these are up on pop-dots. Sentiments also from SU.
I know that sentiment is from an old su set called happy winter but, not sure if that snowman is too. ( I have a whole bunch of SU snowmen and they all hide in the same box together anymore) :)
the double colored twine is not the twinery kind and ... its too soft to want to stay tied in a knot, it unties it self. so tide these many times.
thinking that is a Judi Kins ( lure ) and the sentiment is maybe Inky Antics Maybe Art Impressions ( not sure at the moment ) versafine and copics.
Elzybells sentiment with Tim Holtz Santa, vintage buttons. walmart hemp string. the tag was sprayed with some walnut ink spray and tattered angels glimmer mists. edges of the sentiment tag were rubbed with colorbox cream brown fluid chalk ink.
Trimmed this tag to be about 5 inches in height ( it was closer to 8) the "brown" seambinding is natural color sprayed with various walnut inks and glimmer mists.

Cocoa gift Sacks

lately I have been spend more time in the craft salers thread at scs and there was a link on pinterest to MishMash's blog with some sacks that had twine and do dads on them. then there was a link in the scs thread to a blog with cards that had cocoa packs and fancy peppermint stir sticks tied on to them. and I thought both ideas were kinda neat, but didn't think much of it again until I came across this pack of starbucks cocoa at Costco the other day. There are 3 boxes
of flavors with 8 packs of each flavor in the whole shrink wrapped bundle. Will I make 24 of these? Probably not, but will be making a few more. (esp. in the flavors I know i will not drink) :)
So these are just paper sacks from M's that had the tops I used pinking shears on them free hand and then added mini glue dots to the inside gussets so they would adhere to the back of the bag, there is a bit of basket type filling in them with the packets then the tags are tied on with baking twine and or ribbons. this particular tag is an Penny Black snowman and the sentiments from Gina K. Designs. That doily is an actual heart shaped one I trimmed it to fit inside the bag.
Spellbinders this years shape ornament die cuts from scraps, paper trey ink ric rac die cut also done from scraps. the tag was sprayed with some tattered angels glimmer and walnut ink.
vintage buttons and hemp string. the sentiments from SU on an Sizzix die cut tag.
This was the first one and its a little plain and the staples make it a little more rustic to me I guess, it went together really really quick.
Prima flowers, doodle but brad, Impression Obsession Sentiment.
