Instructions:
Prepare your paper bag:
1. Lay the bag flat with the bottom of the bag facing up, and then fold the
bag's base in half and glue (See Instruction Photo 1)
2. Cut the corners off of the part of the bag that you just folded and glued,
and made 2 valley folds, one at the bottom of the 'just glued' bag base, and one
half way between that valley fold and the edge of the bag. (See Instruction
Photo 2.)
If you look at the Instruction Photos 3 and 4 you will see where to add your
artwork, and how the bag will look when it is all prepped.
Now, decorate your bag!
1. Stamp snowman (from Winter Smiles stamp set) with StazOn on white cardstock,
and color with markers. Layer onto red and green cardstock as shown.
2. Stamp "Hello Snow" (from Hello Seasons Stamp Set) with white ink onto small
striped piece and emboss. Layer onto small white piece of cardstock.
3. Attach your large coral base and striped strip as shown, and then attach you r
layered snowman.
4. Cut the corners of your coral base and adhere to the 'flap'.
5. Attach the white ribbon with snowflake brads on the top and bottom of the
card so that the ribbon will hold the ‘flap’ down ... DO NOT let the brads
overlap the ‘flap’, or glue the ribbon to the outside of the card, or your card
will not open! (I also overlapped and adhered the ribbon inside the card.)
6. Attach the "Hello Snow" piece to the ribbon only.
7. Apply 2 Way glue under the snowman, sprinkle glitter on top of glue. Remove
excess glitter.
TaDa!!! :) These cards are also a great way to give money! All you do is put a
gift card or special note in the bag! :)
Have fun!!!
