Need a box to give or store the beautiful ornaments from the front of the Holiday Mini? Here you go!
Decorate as desired 
Note – before I closed the box, I added some shred in the four corners to keep the ornament steady. Let me know if you have any questions. Hugs, Fran

Here’s another idea for a quick gift bag. This uses a small paper bag (mine is 3 1/2 x 6 3/4) and your Holiday Framelits. You will need to open the side of the bag out to die cut it or you will get little “vents” in the side. (Seriously, you will!)
After you have die cut your image, fold the bag back to normal and run through your Big Shot with the Lacy Brocade embossing folder. Cover the openings with window sheets and decorate.

This is two Fancy Favor bags put together to make it taller. To make this bag, die cut 2 Fancy Favor bags (I used two different patterns here), cut the bottom flaps off of the one you want to be on the top. Line up the score marks and attach to the top. You will want to use glue or sticky strip to make it strong. That’s it – easy! I closed mine with a clothespin

This is what I made for our team gift exchange. It’s a fun project that can be altered for any occasion. Here’s how you do it –
Die cut two pieces of chipboard using the 3″ circle die. Set aside the circles and die cut around the negative with the 4″ circle die. This gives you two doughnut shapes. Glue them together and paint them white. The clothespins are heavy – I used heavy chipboard for this part.
Cover approximately 25 clothespins on both sides. For these clothespins, I cut my paper 3/8″ x about 3″. Glue them down. Any clear drying glue will do. This one is the same on the front and back. You could make it multi-season by using different paper on each side.
Tie a long piece of Cherry Cobbler seam binding to your base and start placing your clothespins around the edge. Once I got it spaced the way I wanted, I glued one side down just where the pins touch the base. Then I added a banner.
And a cute gift needs a cute box The finished size of this box is 9 1/2 x 9 1/2 (which give you a better idea of the finished size of the wreath!)
Really? These clothespins are for laundry? Hugs, Fran
Need something to hold a little gift? Here’s the Petite Purse die dressed up just for Santa. The band on the front is 3/4″ wide and the buckle is 1″ brushed gold square with a 3/4″ black center. This was another project from my gift bag class – so easy and cute!

This is one of the gift bags we did in my Gift Bags and Boxes class yesterday. It’s a Fancy Favor box with a Scentsational Gingerbread Man on the front. The closure is a decorated clothes pin.
The candy piece is 5-6 punches with the stamped image on top. Add Dazzling Detail for some sparkle! The people at my grocery store have to wonder what I’m doing with all these clothes pins!
