Burlap Goodness: Gift Bags Galore for Creative Christmas Packaging

 These are bringing me...JOY

I am SO EXCITED about these new little treasures I just put up in my etsy store. For those that are handy-dandy crafty they are simple as pie to make. For those that are graphically challenged, not-so-crafty and don't own an iron...well... check out the link to my etsy store where it just takes one click in the gift bags section and a purchase will have them bundled up and on their way to your doorstep.

I have been having so much graphic fun lately. I love playing with fonts - modifying and creating my own serifs, scripts and swooshes. After playing around and ending up with some pretty fun tag designs I decided to make some iron-on graphics to embellish some burlap with. 

If you want to try making up some designs of your own check out my tutorial on the design and transfer process of embellishing burlap on this previous post of mine http://sublime-living.blogspot.com/2013/01/diy-tutorial-monogrammed-burlap-runner.html#.Umxop_kqh9U. If you need some plain burlap bags shoot me a message on etsy and I can put up a special listing for you. 

I am selling a set of four bags for $12.

These Joy to the World bags are some of my favorites. I am going to make  gift tags of these as well. I have been wanting to bless peeps with something lately - maybe a free tag template with some of my designs will be coming your way soon!

Psalm 33:18-22

 Watch this: God’s eye is on those who respect him,
    the ones who are looking for his love.
He’s ready to come to their rescue in bad times;
    in lean times he keeps body and soul together.

 We’re depending on God;
    he’s everything we need.
What’s more, our hearts brim with joy
    since we’ve taken for our own his holy name.
Love us, God, with all you’ve got—
    that’s what we’re depending on.
