But when Christmas images are as cute as this one I don&#8217;t mind really \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This weeks Polkadoodles theme is Christmas but not a card. That is 100% up my street, I love making bags, home decor pieces and gifts \ud83d\ude42 I decided to make a handbag style gift bag this time \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I used red card to make the base of the bag and green to make the top flap over the bag. I covered these with the papers from <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.polkadoodles.co.uk\/printable-papers-1-winnie-white-christmas-digi-downloads\/?fbclid=IwAR3rRVO8uto2SntelaSS7xwqnC9mpwLGnAKEifNT1Hofsm5EMRmH71-H1M4\" target=\"_blank\">www.polkadoodles.co.uk\/printable-papers-1-winnie-white-christmas-digi-downloads\/<\/a>\u00a0and left a small neat border around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I decided to use the Christmas Stamp from <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.polkadoodles.co.uk\/winnie-winterland-polar-friends-digital-craft-stamp-download\/?fbclid=IwAR1k-9bMzLIpR-zMS6SbUNq3F91iHFQlzSx27IR5cofvmN3qqTOeE3tKE5o\" target=\"_blank\">www.polkadoodles.co.uk\/winnie-winterland-polar-friends-digital-craft-stamp-download\/<\/a>\u00a0which is possibly the cutest image I&#8217;ve ever seen, as the join from bag base to top\/flap. I have coloured them in with my alcohol markers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wanted a handle on the bag, I decided to add some lovely ribbon, a few sparkly gems and a twine wrapped bow. Then to finish off the bag, I added a couple of gift tags from <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.polkadoodles.co.uk\/winnie-winterland-tags-frames-digital-craft-papers-download\/?fbclid=IwAR0rwCg5-QGIfWTDEL6TBKLpDA0LUasQZw4BNAQASLzf4b4HokTkZZZq8Hc\" target=\"_blank\">www.polkadoodles.co.uk\/winnie-winterland-tags-frames-digital-craft-papers-download\/<\/a><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you like it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>xo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/littleatticcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Madison-DC-18th-Aug-2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/littleatticcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Madison-DC-18th-Aug-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/littleatticcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Madison-DC-18th-Aug-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/littleatticcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Madison-DC-18th-Aug-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/littleatticcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Madison-DC-18th-Aug-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/littleatticcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Madison-DC-18th-Aug-2.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/littleatticcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Madison-DC-18th-Aug-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/littleatticcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Madison-DC-18th-Aug-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/littleatticcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Madison-DC-18th-Aug-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/littleatticcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Madison-DC-18th-Aug-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/littleatticcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Madison-DC-18th-Aug-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/littleatticcrafts.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Madison-DC-18th-Aug-1.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christmas is a word feared my many, but in the crafting world it is used all year round, sometimes there is not even much point in putting your Christmas crafts away in a dark hidden corner, because there is only around a 4 month &#8216;down&#8217; period.
