More Christmas Giftbags and Cards

Today's first art sample is a giftbag decorated with a print on red foil cardstock, made with silver metallic acrylic paint and my 4" x 4" stencil Fern Fronds Silhouette Stencil Mini.

After using my Pioneer brand Embellishment Gluestick to add this cut-out to the white giftbag, I added a flourish using Rangers Industries' glitter glue.  Below is an enlargement showing part of the flourish.

Altho it's not visible in the next two photos below, I used the same glitter glue to add similar flourish lines around the trees--

The giftbag above features cut-outs from prints made with my 6" x 6" stencil Sprigs* and (the bottom layer of the tree) Sassy Spray*, another 6" x 6" stencil.  And the glue glitter embellished giftbag below features a cut-out from a print I made on gold and white marbled paper, using my 6" x 6" stencil Mimosa 6, and I like to think this pattern makes a good Christmas tree!

*In their entirety, Sprigs and Sassy Spray look like this:

Plain paper giftbags are available here and in some brick-and-mortar art and craft supply stores.

I do my stencil-print cut-outs using freehand original drawings, but for anyone who would rather use a stencil to make shapes of this kind, one  helpful stencil is here.   Another is here.  And here.  And here.  And here.  And here.
