Candy-Filled Holiday Bags Featuring the Fancy Favor Bigz XL Die!

 
I created several versions of these cute little bags using a variety of Holiday Designer Series Papers & the Fancy Favor xl die for use with the Big Shot Die-Cut Machine.

And, I have to tell you a cute story about these little bags.

My daughter, Sarah was helping me create the bags and we completed about 15 or so and had them all together on the table and I very excitedly said, "Oh, they are so cute, they are happy little bags.  Happy, Happy, Happy little bags."  So, every time I walked by the table I would have to say, "happy little bags."  My daughter thought I was nuts...I tried to explain to her that it doesn't take much to make me smile.  And for some reason, every time I look at these little bags, I smile.  So, I sure hope you enjoy my "Happy Little Bags" as much as I do. :)

See how cute (and HAPPY!) they are using the 2-sided Designer Series Paper!

I'M BATTY FOR YOU!

Here is another project we created at my recent Haunted Halloween Happening.

The Stampin Up! Bitty Box & Envelope Bigz XL Die makes duplicating this project a cinch!

The bitty box is the perfect size for a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup.

STAMP SET:  Batty for You (116576)

CARDSTOCK:  Pumpkin Pie (105117), Basic Black (102851), Whisper White (100730)
Pumpkin Pie Patterns Designer Series Paper (112159)

Ink:  Basic Black (101179)

TIP:  The Bitty Box & Envelope die has two separate patterns, one for the box & one for the envelope.  I measure each pattern on the die and label the side of the die with the dimensions for each, so that when I only need one or the other, I have a quick reference on what size to cut the card stock...this way there is very little waste.

PROJECT DETAILS:

Start with a 9-1/2" x 4" piece of Chocolate Chip card stock.  Score at 3".

Old Olive card stock, 6-1/4"x 3-3/4"

Designer Series Paper, 6" x 3-1/2"

NOTE:  Adhere DSP to Old Olive & then attach ribbon before you adhere to Chocolate Chip.  This way the ribbon will not show on the back of the project.

Stamp Happy Holidays on a Very Vanilla piece 3-1/2"x2".

Mat with a piece of Real Red card stock 3-1/2"x2-1/4".

NOTE:  I stamped Happy Holidays an additional time in Jet Black Stazon & colored tree & cut out & attached with dimensionals.  I then stamped Happy Holidays a third time in Real Red and trimmed the word holidays & attached with dimensionals.

Stamp the "to/from" in Real Red on Very Vanilla & punch with Small Tag punch & then punch Old Olive with Tag punch to create a mat.  Punch (2) 1/16" holes in tag and thread Gold Elastic Cord through and tie with ribbon.
