This is one of the items I am making for my craft fair also they are called Genie Bags . WHY are they called this ? I have no idea but they are sure cute.. I have no measurements to share since I used different sized bags just measure out your paper bag the width and the length then add an extra 1/4 "-1 " more when cutting your CS especially in the length with the handle and all ..I used the word window punch for the handle punch once then move slightly over and punch again .. since its so hard to punch through both pieces of card stock I punched out one 1st then used that as my template for the backside piece .. I used The snowflake spot for this genie bag along with lots of dazzling diamonds , and I also used the tag punch for the mini tag for my genie bag stamped snowflake on vanilla CS in Bravo burgandy and then fliped over tag punch and then I folded a piece of bravo B cs so that I could punch out the mini tag/ book lined up the punch so that there is a connection so the tag is more like a mini book I used the Left side as my binding for my mini tag ( slide punch , looking from the back side I slid the punch in and left the one side of the punch outside the line where the score line is this will keep the tag as a book..( so basically your not even punching the left side of scored line of the cs HTH ) I then added retired burgandy wide ogandy ribbon . I am Only making about 10 of these not to sure If I will add something inside or not yet ? and then the question would be What to add ?
Today I am taking my mom in for her eye lens to be measured for her cataract surgery thats approaching .. she needs both eyes done but will do only one at a time ( by doc request ) I am so proud of her to be doing this .. she is really over due to have it done especially in her right eye so that will be the 1st one done then in Dec she will have 2nd one done Right before we head to TN for Christmas so after I return from the doc today with my mom I plan to get busy making goodies and also getting ready for my stampers club on Friday ..
I have decided to use those Santa wrappers from yesterdays post as one of the M&Ts this Friday instead of having a Christmas stamp camp this year .. Hey Stampin Queens :Those Large candy bars were on sale at CVS a few days ago BUT I guess they are no longer on sale for .99 cents .. Harriet said they are back to reg price .. But still check your local dollar store I have seen them there also .. May not be a great selection, But the Santas make up for that I suppose .
Until later ... Happy Stampin!
