I know this looks like a lot, but it goes really fast. Well, now it will...... I had to sleep on which stamps to use for some of the sentiments! :)
Start out with a small paper bag. I have some on hand that measure 4" x 8" You can use any size that you want to create your card, but this works perfect for an A2 size, which is what most of mine are. You could also use any color that would work with your project. These bags are very inexpensive at the dollar stores.
The first thing I did was cut the top down to remove the notched area, but you wouldn't have to do this. I have had my bags for awhile, so they were a bit ragged on the top.
Do not open your bag. Place it with the bottom facing up. Fold the bottom up and crease with bone folder. This will create the front pocket. Unfold and decorate the top area. I used a piece of the DSP (3 3/4 x 2 3/4 ) matted onto Peek-a-boo Peach cardstock ( 3 7/8 x 2 3/4 ). Just make sure that this is long enough to go below the pocket when it is folded up.
Add a fine line of glue on each side of the bag bottom, or tear n tape. Fold up to create the pocket and cover with DSP (3 3/4 x 2 3/8) matted with the same c/s as above ( 3 7/8 x 2 3/8 ).
To the top right hand corner, I punched out an Emerald Green Pansy and one from DSP, offsetting them and glueing together. Punch out a circle from the DSP for the center of the flower, adding with a dimensional.
The pocket image is stamped on DSP ( 1 1/8 x 2 1/8 ) matted on c/s (1 1/4 x 2 1/4 ). Add it to the pocket with dimensionals. Punch two Petite Petals from DSP, gently circle the centers with the large end of the stylus to add dimension. Off set the petals and put together with a small piece of dimensionals, then add to the sentiment with dimensionals and top with a rhinestone. Add a piece of lace to the top of the pocket with glue or tape.
The tag for the pocket is DSP ( 1 7/8 x 3 7/8 ) matted with c/s (2 x 4). Punch the ends for the tag. You can put the tag together, then punch or I punched each piece separately and just off set the hole. It worked fine. Stamp the sentiment and add the lace. I also stamped a couple of the brush stroke stamps above and under the sentiment.
The insert card fits into the top of the bag and is DSP ( 3 5/8 x 4 3/8 ), matted with c/s ( 3 3/4 x 4 1/2 ). Stamp the image on white c/s and cut out. Attach to the card with dimensionals. You can write a note on the back of this card.
Now, don't for get the back! It is just piece of DSP ( 3 7/8 x 4 7/8 ), stamped with my info and attached with tape or glue.
I hope you will give this type of project a try, BUT I must warn you it might be addictive. It is such a GREAT way to use your DSP, especially the paper stacks.
