Welcome to the VISIONS OF SUGARPLUMS blog hop with wonderful Christmas ideas and some pretty neat gifts too!
I have made a few little Christmas cards out of some very tiny paper bags. The entire card when closed measures about three inches by three and a half inches.
This is a paper bag that measures 3.5 in x 2 in x 6.75inches. It is a folded so it can be closed by a little tie with red beads. Now let's open it up! The bottom of the card has two flaps to hold inserts or tags.
This is the front of the little Christmas card that is inside the bag. It measures about 2.25 in x a little over 3 inches. And the inside of this cute little card is below.
I will quickly show you the other two paper bag cards - no further explanation needed.
That's my Wee Christmas makes for today.

I came back for another look Sandy and yep, they are as cute as when I saw them the first time! This is such a great idea and I can see so many uses for it... it would also make a fab birthday card, gift card... so many things!
Awesome idea for a unique Christmas card. Loved the idea of the paper bag holder for these stunning vintage cards & tags. You're really going with this idea. I recognized some of the beautiful Authentique holly papers on one (at least I think I did!). All of these are breathtaking, and all I can say is WOW to each one. TFS & Hugs. WELL DONE!
I don't know why your blog hasn't been popping up for me, but I hope I've got that fixed now. These are SO pretty! It seems I'm the only one doesn't get how they're made, but they're gorgeous and precious. Your work is exquisite!
Everything is so pretty. Hard to pick a favorite. Loved the poinsettia. thanks for sharing.
I love all of the wonderful vintage images! Beautiful and sweet paper bag cards!!
What a clever idea and how lovely they all are! Looks like you had some fun creating them. hugs, Donna
Hardly wee makes Sandy...what a collection.
