This easy (and small) gift bag is actually two quarter sheets of Real Red cardstock cut with the Sizzix die ‘Top Note’ attached to both sides of a tiny brown paper bag (that was cut down to 3 inches high).
The oval ‘handle’s is the large Oval punch and a simple knot of wide grosgrain ribbon (red) holds it shut. The designer paper front is from the Merry Moments pack (one of my holiday favorites this year). The vanilla stripe across the middle is a narrow strip of vanilla cardstock. The greeting is a new stamp set called “Sweet Season” on page 29 of Stampin’ Up!’s 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog.
These are perfect for holding a gift card or small item–no wrapping required!
