Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team’s theme is “Tag, You’re It” – tags or 3D projects to get you inspired for the upcoming gift season. We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

 

Well, I couldn’t make a tag without an adorable bag to go with it! This is my go-to bag which I love because it is so simple to put together and only takes two full 12″ x 12″ sheets of DSP! But I should say my inspiration was the tag… and then came the pretty bag!

For the tag… I used the beautiful Poinsettia Petals bundle along with the coordinating Poinsettia Place DSP and the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper. These products compliment each other so beautifully, the project practically makes itself!

I started with a base of Soft Suede card stock (2″ x 4 1/2″) and layered on the specialty paper after I cropped the top with the Delightful Tag Topper.

I stamped the sentiment in Soft Suede ink onto a scrap of Whisper White and then cropped with a die from the Celebration Labels Dies. I added the label to the right side of the tag.

I cropped the Poinsettia bloom with the Poinsettia Dies right from the Poinsettia Place DSP! Love when I can do that! (If you don’t have the dies, these images are so easy to fussy cut as I did for the small flower bloom inside the tag). I added the die cut to the left side of the tag with dimensionals.

I trimmed another piece of Soft Suede card stock to 2″ x 5″ and scored at 2.5″. I glued the top flap to the back of the tag. I stamped the ‘to-from’ image onto a trimmed piece of Whisper White scrap and adhered that to the inside of the back flap. I fussy cut a small flower from the DSP and adhered it to the stamped inner flap.

I finished the tag with a pretty bow made from the Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon.

The bag was easy peezy…

Two sheets of the same design 12″ x 12″ DSP were scored at the 2″ mark on one side and at the 3″ mark on the other three sides.

Score and burnish all score lines. Fold over the top 2″ score line to form the top band of the bag.

Cut and remove the bottom 3″ square tabs on ONE sheet.

Cut INTO the SIDE score lines at the bottom 3″ mark on the OTHER sheet.

Adhere the two sheets together by lining up and adhering the large center tab over the large center section of the second sheet.

Fold up and adhere the tabs to form the bag. Use a hole punch to attach a piece of ribbon over the top for a handle.

I did a Facebook Live last week with the same bag/tag idea… but with a different stamp set and DSP. You can click here to see the replay!
