Drawstring Gift Bags for the card sets

After making all the cards for the in-law ladies, I decided I needed some way to present them nicely.  It was a rainy, cold, icky day and I didn't want to drive to the fabric store, plus I wanted to save money...SO...I found some scrap pillowcase material I had bought this past summer.

I used Staz-On and stamped with my oldie Christmas House Mouse stamp and sentiment.  I used thin red ribbon to make the "draw-string" for the bags.  Dang, I guess I need tags now....this is becoming a never ending project.

approximately 6x9 after all the sewing

used my Misti for the stamping

  7. So much for a quick and easy present, huh?
    They'll cherish the bags as much as the cards. I love those mice!

  8. Perfect way to give a set of cards! Ive made sets in the past and just kind of wrap in a belly band - so boring. This is unique and finished.
