Today I have this cute gift bag which is easy to make and you can get two bags from one pieces of 12x12". It's also a great size, it measures 4 1/4" x 1 1/2" x 4 1/2", so it can fit in all sorts of goodies!
Cut a piece of DSP to 6" x 12". Score on the long side at 1 1/2", 5 3/4", 7 1/4" & 11 1/2" and the you need to add some part scores, these are score lines down approx. 3" at 3/4" and 6 1/2". Finally score the short side at 4 1/2".
Hold the DSP horizontally and cut up all the bottom vertical score lines to the horizontal score line. Cut straight up at the sides of the rectangles and notch into the squares. Cut off the thin rectangle on the right hand side and notch slightly into the tab. So you are left with a shape like below....
Add adhesive to the thin tab on the right hand side, I used red line tape as I couldn't find my Tear & Tape. Remove the release paper and adhere to the opposite side to create the bag shape. fold in the sides and the back flap, add adhesive to the front flap and fold over to create the base.
Pinch the bag together at the top, the part score lines that were added help create a really nice shape. Whilst closed, take the 1/8" handheld punch and create two holes in the top. thread some ribbon through the holes and secure with a know to create the handles.
Bring in the big shot and cut two squares using the stitched shapes framelits. Cut the smallest in whisper white and the second smallest in Poppy Parade cardstock.
Stamp the Merry Christmas in Garden Green ink onto the whisper white which is laid as a diamond shape, then layer this onto the Poppy Parade. Place a red rhinestone in to top and bottom corner and then adhere to the front of the bag.
