Here's a quick way to wrap up all those yummy treats we give away at Christmas. I bought the meduim size Celebrate it bags from Michaels, and trimmed an 1 1/2 off the top. Cut my Real red 5 1/2 x 4 1/2 and a smaller size 4 1/2 x 1 3/4. I used the Holiday Designer paper Candy Cane Christmas I picked my favorites and cut the larger piece 5 1/4 x 4 1/4 and a contrasting piece 4 1/4 x 1 1/2. I taped each DP to the red cardstock. I cut a piece of white 4 1/2 x 1 and using my scallop trim punch punched the edge and tape it down to the back of the 4 1/2 x 1 3/4 red cardstock. Before taping everything down to the bag I cut 2 snowflakes using our bigz snowflake die #2 one in red and one in white. I taped both snowflakes together in the center and then taped the center of the snowflakes to the larger piece of cardstock. I laid the bag down to position so the bag would set without the flakes going past the bottom of the bag. I punched a hole with my 1/8 in hole punch through the flakes and cardstock then used a large rhinestone brad to add a little bling. I then taped the large piece down. Folded over the top of bag and using a bone gave it a firm crease. Then taped down the smaller group to the front of the bag. Keeping it folded over using the crop-a-dile a punched 2 holes to tie ribbin thru. I used organdy ribbon (we no longer carry) I would have used satin if I had it. I cut a piece of baja breeze 1 1/2 x 3 folded it in half and stamped my greeting from the stamp set Tags till Christmas. punched a hole and tied together. Note: I sometimes cut a piece of chipboard to line the bottom of the bag for support. It is in the Designer Pack of Paper.
