Yep - that's what I'm going to give you this week: one project each day from my upcoming "Bags, Tags, and Bows" gift packaging class. The whole class is based on the use of one full sheet of Frosty Day Designer Series Paper, and each is a gift package, not a gift in itself. There are 4 projects in all, including a gift box with matching tag and handmade bow, a cello bag with topper and tag for holding edible goodies, a simple-to-make gift card holder, and today's project, a gift bag with matching stamped tissue paper insert.
This cute bag is a CASE of an idea my upline made last Christmas with the great Christmas DSP, although the name escapes me at the moment!
Isn't the snowman just adorable?!! He is a CASE from Charlene Monroe's website here. Charlene's snowman holds a peppermint pattie, which makes hers better! Not to mention the fact that she's far more clever than I because the snowman is her idea! Thanks, Charlene! I especially like the way she used the White Signo Pen to make the dots look like buttons on his... what would that be... his belly?!
I guessed at the punch sizes used, so if you want to know the sizes I used for my snowman, please email me. I mounted him on a tag and added a smal piece of Bashful Blue doulbe-striped grosgrain ribbon.
For this project, the only part of the sheet of DSP I used is the 1x8" strip across the center, behind the snowman. Remember, all of this week's projects are made from one 12x12" piece of Frosty Day DSP. I used Bashful Blue and Kiwi Kiss cardstock to match the DSP, and I think the colors are great for snow and snowmen!
To make this bag, the first thing I did was wheel across the bottom section of the bag. While I had the wheels out, I also wheeled the tissue paper. Next, I cut a couple pieces of cardstock the width of the gift bag, and layered them with the strip of DSP.
The bottom of the plain white gift bag is wheeted with 2 different (retired) wheels, in Bashful Blue and Kiwi Kiss. To match, I wheeled some white tissue paper the same.
Hope you like it! I'll be back tomorrow with another of the pieces listed above, so stay tuned! See you then!
