Well, Here is it... MY FIRST EVER TUTORIAL!!! Please leave some feedback for me and let me know what y'all think... here we go!
These are the supplies I started with. SU cardstock, a plain paper bag and box from the craft store .The bag is 8 x 10 inches and the topper is 9 x 6 inches...
After I cut the 9 x 6 paper, I folded it in half and laid it on the bag to see where it would look right... then I measured in 2.5 inches from the right and 2.5 inches from the left. I put a dot at each measurement to get ready to cut the slot for the handles.
I cut down 1/4 inch at each dot and then connected the two cuts with my paper cutter. This will allow the handles of the bag to fit through the slot.
Next, I randomly stamped the pumpkin image from DRS all over the front of the bag topper
Then, I cut two ovals with my nesties in coordination colors,stamped my sentiment on the yellow one and used my embossing and glitter pens to decorate the ovals.
I got out my trusty crop-a-dile and set copper eyelets in the front and back of the topper to allow a place for ribbon to be tied! Here, I used large copper eyelets.
I inked the edges of the box with orange ink so when my paper is on the box, it will blend in and match a little bit better. I also think it looks more finished this way!
I ran the paper for the sides through the cuttlebug and inked the design with orange ink to show off the embossing on the paper.
I stamped this gorgeous image from DRS on the front panel and colored it with chalks... I LOVE this image and how Fall like it is! I can smell the turkey roasting and the cider mulling!!!
AND... here it is! I hope you like it! This is SOOOO simple to make and this way I don't have to used tissue paper in the gift bag.(I NEVER can make it look right!) I really like how the box and bag coordinate and I think this will make a lovely gift to present to your Thanksgiving hostess or anyone you are thankful for! Think how darling this would look for Christmas as well! Enjoy your day!
