Blue Gingham Christmas Gift Bag

I recently had a chance to buy some gingham gift bags at a good price from Store Supply Warehouse. My goal was to make gift bags with a Bible message. Here's one of the blue ones I decorated. This was the only one I made with a favorite white flower I'd hoarded, the others have snowflakes, but I've given them away. I used some long retired CTMH paper because it matched best.  I used a Martha Stewart punch on the  Kraft cardstock and white embossed it with "Joy to the World the Lord is come" (ODBD stamp) and "Gloria" (old CTMH).  I subtley stamped John 3:16 on the banner piece on the right but it doesn't stand out.

The clothespin was stamped three times with music from PTI.

Thanks for visiting!
