Cards are finished and mailed. Moving on to gifts. Adults and teens in my family get gift cards or cash. I wanted something a little special beyond a card to package those gifts. I made this cute little bag for one. It is large enough for a gift card or cash. Or it would be a fun treat holder.
I used a double sided paper because it is a little heavier and stands up better. I have had the large snowflake die forever and don't know who makes it. The snowflake is attached to the flap with a large glue dot. I punched a hole through all the layers and tied on the coordinating tag with a silver ribbon. It is enough to hold flap closed. You could use a glue dot to hold it closed if you are not adding a tag. The snowflake on the tag is a Martha Stewart punch.
The direction's for the bag can be found at Paper Pixie blog here.
Entering this at Double Trouble Paper Crafting. I have used a die and ribbon.
And since I used Thing 1 and Thing 3 I can also enter at Thing 2"s challenge site Use Your Stuff.

ReplyDeleteThat's such a cute--and festive--bag! I love the big snowflake on it. My grands get cash or gift cards, too. This year, I made special little envelopes for the cash and put them in a cute little box from Dollar Tree along with a packet of hot chocolate mix and a couple of small candy canes. I tied some ribbon and added a gift tag on the outside.
