This card was created for a friends birthday together with a matching DSP gift bag. The card is similar to the one created for the recent blog hop, so if you would like to re-create this card check out that post. Again I used How Sweet It Is suite to show an alternative colour way and included the gift bag.
Materials needed for Gift Bag
- 2 pieces of Whisper White 12 x 12 inches card (front and back pieces) – each scored at 1.5 inches on one side
- 2 pieces of Whisper White card : 11 x 5 inches (side pieces) – each scored at 0.5 and 4.5 inches on the short side and 0.5 inch on the long side
- 1 piece of Whisper White card : 12 x 5 inches (bottom piece) – scored at 0.5 and 4.5 inches on the short side
- 2 pieces of How Sweet It Is DSP : 10.5 x 12 inches
Putting the Gift Bag together
- Burnish the score line on each piece of 12 x 12 inches Whisper White
- Adhere the DSP to each piece of 12 x 12 Whisper White card ensuring the bottom and sides are flush using liquid glue (to give you a bit of wriggle room to position the DSP) the score line is the top of the bagUse tear and tape or liquid glue to adhere the top of the bag down; ensure that this is adhered to the outside (covering the DSP)
- Make two holes on the front and back; easiest way is to evenly to one piece first and then line up the other piece mark with a pencil and then hole punch these holes; this will ensure that your holes match
- Using liquid glue adhere the 12 x 5 Whisper White to the bottom of the front and back pieces one at a time
- Adhere each side piece to the bottom of the bag first lining up the score line; once securely in place adhere each side lining up the relevant score line to the front/back of the bag
- Make the handles using twine, ribbon as required
- Your bag is now complete and can be filled
Thank you for looking, hope you enjoy making your creation.
