Gift Card in a Bag

Hi Friends

Just dropping by quickly to share a cute little project with you.  We are still going nuts trying to get our present house ready to sell and keeping an eye on the new one being built.  I can't believe all the red tape involved.  But, that's another entire post...lol.  

Today's  post is an easy project to begin with :-).  Mine got a little more involved since I chose to really fancy up the belly band, but you can decide how you want to decorate it. It's funny how this all started.  I had the idea to make a little flat bag so I made a prototype using regular printer paper.  I liked how it turned out, bulk and weight-wise, so that's what I went with.... here are details....

Printer paper 8 1/2 x 11 .... in landscape mode, score at 3 1/4 and 8 1/2   turn score at 3/4

Fold along score lines, tape vertically, turn up bottom and tape... you have a nice little bag!

You might want to decorate the top portion of bag at this point .... I tried                           using decorative scissors but it was an epic fail (they are going to the good                               will) so I cut it off and finished it with plain top

Lay bag on scoring board, landscape mode, and score at 3 1/2... fold bag

Cut a belly band ..... 2 x 12 from dsp .... now have fun decorating.

Cut insert card in whisper white 3 3/4 x 5 ... this goes in back part of bag

Insert gift card in the pocket you created when you folded bag.... create tabs

I hope this made sense.... here are some pictures to help visualize....

                     



Here we are .... my assistent Bailey helping with assembly    :-)






That's it for today ... I'll  try to post more often but I can't promise I'll have time.
Don't give up on me..... I'll get back into more frequent posts when all these distractions  are past history.  Won't that be nice???

HUGE Stampin' Up moving sale




Hi Friends

It's been awhile since I've had the time to post but there have been family issues which have kept me very busy and away from my stamp room.... yikes.  I'm happy to report that my husband (who slipped in the shower, fell, and broke his arm/shoulder) is doing very well now and we are slowly getting back into routine... not quite there....but progress :-).  Also, as a result of another fall...this time down the stairs... we are moving!  We have bought a cute little one story in a new development and have been ironing out all the details and making our decisions for options. It should be finished around the end of May...hopefully.  But, we will only have about 2/3 of the space we have here, so I need to PURGE!  And.... you'll get the benefit of that.... if you choose.

                                                  HUGE STAMPIN' UP SALE

All of these stamps are retired, Stampin Up wood block sets in their original clam shell boxes.  Most have been used, some have staining on the wood, but all are in good condition and stamp beautifully.

Pay Pal is my preferred form of payment and all stamps will be sent priority USPS.  Please contact me with any questions or concerns - email  I will calculate shipping costs and send them to you personally. Sorry but will only ship to US.  Since I have not taken pictures of these sets yet, I am going to provide a link where you can see the set and several samples of finished work using each stamp set.  Happy shopping!
