My Other Creations: STAMPtember 2016 Gentle Fox Gift Bag

The Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember celebration is in full swing!  I can't wait to see what goodies are in store as the month progresses.  The theme this week is so easy and fabulous: just stamp something!  I did just that with this fall-themed gift bag featuring some of Simon's new STAMPtember releases.

 

I started by making the cute felt fox using Simon's Plush Gentle Fox die.  I sewed all the pieces together and added some "clothes" with cotton patterned fabric.  I added a pocket and some flowers.

The bag itself was made with wood grain paper from Simple Stories (Basics 12 x 12 collection) and the We R Memory Keepers Gift Bag Punch Board.  I cut some leaves with Tim Holtz's Tattered Leaves die, then stamped them with Simon's new Abstract Triangles stamp.  I smeared Distress Ink onto the leaves and dripped water onto the smears to create the water-drop circles.  I also used the Tim Holtz Trellis die and Lawn Fawn's Perfectly Plaid paper to create more background pattern.

I finished this off by adding the "Give Thanks" sentiment from Simon's new Autumn Greetings stamp set and added the fox to the front.  I decorated the top of the bag with some yarn and pom poms.

Here are all the wonderful products I used, which you can find at Simon Says Stamp:
