Good Things Come In Small Packages

At least that's what my mom always said!  This gift bag was a fun one I made while at the craft show last weekend.  I was my first try with the Gift Bag Punch Board.  It was quick and easy.  Fun too!   You can make bags in several sizes. This one is about 2.5" wide, 2" deep, and 4" tall.  What would you like to find in a gift bag like this?

The gift bag is 30% off until Midnight tonight (11/21/16).   Here is a list of all the sale items for Stampin' Up!'s Online Extravaganza!  Some products are on sale all week and some for just 24 hours!
