Ugly Sweater Gift Bag, featuring Cate Dixson

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Designer Spotlight, Cate Dixson

Hey everyone! This post is a little bit different then my usual posts. I am hosting some projects for Cate, Chris’s youngest daughter as she is the guest designer on the  Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! She has participated the past few years in the Kid’s Challenge, so she was so excited to be asked to be a guest designer.

Cate Dixson

For the past few weeks she has been busy going through my supplies, sketching out ideas and creating. I didn’t help her at all, except to locate a supply in my messy room 😉 To see her creative process and the clever projects she came up with all on her own was inspiring within itself!

Please consider playing along, This weeks theme is Christmas Gifts! As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store! YAY!

Ugly Sweater Gift Bag, by Cate Dixson

In Cate’s words: “I made this bag with some experimental folding until I got a shape that I liked and then chose a sweater to be poking out with a matching sentiment. The hearts show that the bag is overflowing with love!”

    Cate, this bag is fantastic! I love how you folded the tissue paper into a heart and the sweater is adorable. The stacked hearts were the perfect addition to this super cute project. Thank you so much for being our guest designer this month!!
