This design is perfect to enclose cards/envelopes, a small gift or even cookies. Attach a fold out in between 2 pieces of Designer papers, then attach the back layer to a Stampin' Up! Mini paper bag or make your own out of Designer papers. If your enclosed gift is flat enough, you could send it in a 5x7 envelope, but with increased postage.
Cut 2 pieces of DSP (Designer Series Paper), 5 1/2" x 4 1/4", one for the front and one for the back. (Two different samples are used here: one with Fitting Florets papers, and one with By the Sea Designer papers)
Glue as shown above, then glue to back of your front piece and to the back piece, then glue the back layer onto the bag.
Use 1 Stampin' Up! Mini Paper Bag OR make your own out of DSP. Attach the back layer piece to the bag.
To make a bag, cut a piece 9 1/2" x 7" of Designer papers. Score on the long side, 2 1/4" and flip over and score the other end at 2 3/4". That should leave a 4 1/2" section in the center. Score 3/4" across the length on one end. Cut on the 3/4" score mark up to the 2 1/4" line; then cut the opposite end to the 2 3/4" score line and remove those pieces. This makes a tab to enclose the bottom of the bag. Fold in the 2 1/4" to the center first. Fold in the other side and fasten the over lap with glue. Then fold up the bottom flap and glue. Your bag is set to use.
The top example has a ribbon that goes around the width. You could also tie a ribbon around lengthwise, or add twine around to hold it closed.
I'm going to send gifts of A2 cards in these or use them to deliver a few baked cookies.
I'd love to know what you decide to pack in yours. Hop over to our class Face Book page Card Connoisseurs- Card Making with Susan Boback.
