10 weeks of Christmas – Week 6 Cardinal Gift Box

When I made the “Corn in the husk”  a couple days ago, I only used a part of the #4 brown bags.  Today, I want to show you how to make a gift bag/box with the “leftover” brown bag from the last project.  You can see the video Here to see how to make the “Corn in the husk”.

I got the #4 brown bags from Sam’s Club.  You can make two corns and one gift box from each brown bag.

I used the “Toile Christmas” and “Countdown to the Christmas” stamp set to decorate the gift box.    I always liked the Cardinal bird.  The Cardinal bird is in a larger size.  The best thing is that there is a die to cut the bird out.  I think the dies really make the craft easy.  I still remember the days when I cut a lot of images out by hand in front of the TV.

“Countdown to the Christmas” stamps are very versatile.  You can use them in so many different ways.  The stamp can be used to make a pretty card or you can use them as a background stamp that adds more details to the card.  I am using the  “Shadow” stamps as the backgroup stamp for today’s project.

Hope you like the project that I showed you today. Here are the pictures of this gift box from different angles.
