Bag in a box

I think this is what these are called....I love the look of them and they are so cute for small gifts or candy. They are created from a small box on the bottom the distance around should be around 11.5 inches total so you have a 1/2 inch overlap. You then take a 12x8-9 inch piece of DSP and wrap around the box lining it up at the bottom. I then took a strip of cardstock and used the border punches to create a decorative strip and again lined it up along the bottom of the box and wrapped it around the DSP(I like the narrower border better than the wider one). Punch out 2 round tab punches and fold in the center the place centrally on either side of the bag top to create a holder for the ribbon; try to align these so they are opposite each other. Punch a 1/4 inch hole just below the fold in each tab punch and thread a matching ribbon through and tie.
Decorate the bag as you would like. This worked up really quick once I decided on the DSP and color combo.
We're still under construction so I can't find anything...it all seems to get piled on my work table and then when I do get time to play I have to organize, soon to be done I hope.

Pumpkin Name tags

I had a Christmas Card bonanza; card making class just before we left on our trip and we had a great time creating 30 cards and envelopes as well as a box to store them in. These were created from one half of the Christmas Jingle Simply Scrapping kit in the 2009-2010 Idea book from Stampin'Up. This was totally cased from a fellow demonstrator Blaise Hoopes. I had 11 ladies and we had a great time. I created a nametag for each lady who was coming,,,,,,,they were thrilled to be able to keep them.I used name tags from a local dollar store for the base, inserted a piece of striped DSP( Autumn Meadows from the holiday mini catalogue) for a background then created pumpkins from Stampin'Up Oval punches. I used my Big Shot Naturally Serif die to cut the letters for their names, punched a small leaf/fern shape from my collection of punches for the stem and then curled a couple of thin strips of card stock around a paint brush handle for the vines. This one was mine....
