Let's celebrate gift bag made using the Artiste cartridge and the stamp of the month.

Hello, friends!

There are some really great promotions going on this month with Close To My Heart. However, as I reach my 1000th post I thought I would sweeten the deal for those of you who order from me this month. I am giving away a Pink Cricut to one lucky customer. All you have to do is place an order no matter the size. Then on June 1st I will draw a name at random and announce the winner on this blog. Get your hands on some beautiful Dream Pop paper and you just might win a dreamy pink Cricut!

For today's project I used the Artiste cartridge and the stamp of the month to make a quick little gift bag for a birthday party. I have been asked before why I make these bags. To that I say why not? I love personalizing and decorating gift bags for that personal touch! People (not my three brothers) really like getting them. You should give this a whirl! It is lots of fun!

All cardstock is from Close To My Heart. I then stamped stars for a monochromatic look.

Crafty tip: Separate the different elements of your stamp by cutting them very carefully with micro tipped scissors! That is how I was able to get the yellow and the navy colors with the sentiment above.

  Don't forget this week's giveaway is the Damask Decor cartridge!
