Twelve Days of Christmas #5 and Cardz TV Stamps Blog Hop

Welcome to the Cardz TV Stamps Blog Hop and my 5th day of Twelve Days.  You should have arrived here from Julie's (Cricket Chick) blog.  If not, you'll want to start at the beginning by going to the Cardz TV site.  Mary will be giving away the Cricut Seasonal Cartridge Gingerbread and her Holly Jolly Stamp Set.  Along with those two prizes you have the chance to win a fabulous prize pack of the North Pole Collection paperkit by Crate Paper by our blog hop sponsor Lynn at http://bootsandblingtime.blogspot.com/. In order to be eligible for those prizes you must comment on every Design Team member's blog.  Today's project is a gift bag that I made.  I took a plain red gift bag and added a piece of boa fur at the top.  I cut a strip of black paper at 1.25" for Santa's belt, then cut a buckle (2") from gold metallic paper using the Cricut Fabulous Finds cartridge.  For the gift tag I cut a Santa hat from the Winter Frolic cartridge at 4".  I used Mary's Cardz TV stamp set Home for Christmas for the Ho! Ho! Ho! on the bottom of the tag.  To: and From: are from a Hero Arts stamp set.  I punched a hole in the hat and attached it to the handle of the bag with twine.  What will I be putting in this gift bag?  You'll want to return to my blog tomorrow for Twelve Days #6 to see the fantastic, quick, easy and cheap home decor project I made.  It's really cool and fun, I promise!  In fact, it's so cool I've decided to give it away to one lucky commentor that leaves a comment on today's post AND tomorrow's post.  So don't forget to come back and leave a comment tomorrow.  Now you'll want to head over to Nicole's blog to continue with the hop.  Thanks for joining our Cardz TV Stamps Blog Hop and for your sweet comments.  They mean so much.
