HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN STAMPED CARDSTOCK FOR A GIFT BAG

It is 3D Thursday and I have a gift bag to share with you. I used the Sentimental Swirls Stamp Set to create my own design on a piece of Basic White 12″x 12″ cardstock.

Then I cut the card to 10-1/4″x 8-1/2″. I scored it, along the longer side, at 3-1/2″, 5″, 8-1/2″ and 10″. Along the shorter side it was scored at 1-1/2″. The gift bag is 7″ high, 3-1/2″ wide and 1-1/2″ deep.

I used a bone folder to burnish all of the score lines. Across the shorter side, I used my Paper Snips to cut from the bottom up to the 1-1/2″ score line. These cut pieces will form the base of the gift bag.

Stampin’ Seal+ was added to the 1/4″ side of the longer side to form the bag. Then the base pieces were adhered into place.

I used the Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends to colour a long length of Pool Party Sheer Ribbon. The ribbon was wrapped around the top of the bag twice before being tied in a bow.

The gift tag was made using an offcut from the original piece of cardstock. I used the Delightfil Tag Topper Punch to create the shape at the top of the tag. The tag was then attached to the ribbon with a piece of Linen Thread.

I need to order some more of the Pool Party ribbon – as you can see in my product photo, I only have about 2″ left on this spool.

The bag is quite a good size, so there are lots of possible goodies that could be popped in it.

Tomorrow I have one more Sentimental Swirls project for you. It is a Fun fold Card.

Until then, happy stamping.
