1st Sunday of Christmas (2021)

 For my first 12 Sundays of Christmas post, I've got a lovely little gift card holder. It's made from one of our ombre bags and couldn't be more simple to put together.

Supplies Needed

• Evergreen Elegance bundle
• Evening Evergreen ombre bag
• Evening Evergreen cardstock (1-1/2" x 5", 3-1/4" x 4-1/2")
• Basic White cardstock (3" x 4-1/4")
• Real Red (or Cherry Cobbler) ink
• Evening Evergreen ink
• 16" Evening Evergreen Chevron Weave ribbon
• 3 Basic Rhinestones
• Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush

Directions

1. With the front of the bag down (seam up), fold the bag almost in half so that the jagged edge is about 3/4" from the other edge.
2. With the Evergreen border punch, punch twice to make a continuous row of trees.
3. Adhere trees to front of bag, just slightly above center.
4. Stamp "Merry Christmas" in Real Red (or Cherry Cobbler) ink about 1/2" from the fold.
5. Wrap ribbon around folded bag and tie in a knot on the left or the right side.
6. Add three rhinestones as desired.
7. Apply Wink of Stella to the trees for sparkle.
8. On the Basic White cardstock piece, stamp a greeting in Real Red (or Cherry Cobbler) ink in the center and a couple trees in Evening Evergreen in the lower left corner.
9. Adhere Basic White layer to Evening Evergreen layer and insert into one of the pockets formed in the bag.
10. Add a gift card to the other pocket.

Here's the video for those of you who are visual learners.
