DIRECTIONS:
1. Cut out Fancy Favor Bag making sure that the part you cut off is part of the tab. Position your card stock just slightly past the cut line of the other edge. Run through your Big Shot. Sandwich if you are using a Crease Pad: Cutting Pad, Bigz Die, card stock, Crease Pad.
2. Fold all Score Lines. Lay the Fancy Favor so the part that will be the outside is facing up. Put Sticky Strip on the bottom edge of both rectangle tabs and one triangle tab and the side tab. Turn over and put Sticky Strip on the other Triangle tab. (Note: Sticky Strip should be placed next to the score line on the side tab and on the edge opposite the score line-the cut edge-of the bottom tabs.)
“Put Together Box” step. Adhere side to tab aligning so the box is squared. Box Bottom. Remove all upward facing Sticky Strip Backing from three of the bottom tabs. Place the rectangle tabs in position, squaring up the box. Place the first triangle tab down on the rectangle tabs. Remove the Sticky Strip from the last triangle tab. The Sticky Strip should be facing toward the bottom of the box. Attach to bottom tabs.

3. Adhere Scalloped Tulle Ribbon. Fold one side of the Fancy Favor to a 90 degree angle. Run SNAIL down the corner fold starting about 1/2″ from the top edge and finishing about 1/2″ above the loser edge of box. Repeat with all side folds. Run a narrow strip of SNAIL on the edge that will connect with the tab. Position Tulle Ribbon. Do NOT cover tab.
4. “Put Together Box” following above directions.
5. Stamp desired Ornament in Raspberry Ripple ink. Cut out with coordinating Framelit and Big Shot. Adhere to Fancy Favor with Dimensionals.
Green Fancy Favor
3. Put Together Box following above directions.
4. Rosette: Cut a 1-1/2″ x 12″ strip of Designer Series Paper. Place on Rosette die with one side on desired edge. If you want flat edges just place the strip in the center of the die. Use the Crease Pad instead of the top cutting pad. I also have to place a card stock shim between the bottom cutting pad and the die on one of my Big Shots. The other Big Shot cuts fine without a shim.
5. Make the Rosette. Punch two 1″ Circles from scraps of Gumball Green. It is okay if one is not totally round. Cover one side of both 1″ Circles with Sticky Strip, making sure you will be able to pull the red backing off the strips. Pleat your Rosette. Adhere ends with Sticky Strip. Now remove the Sticky Strip backing from both Circles. Flatten out your Rosette and get it into the shape you want. Adhere Punched Circles to Rosette: the good one in the front, the not so good one on the back. Adhere Rosette to front of Fancy Favor bag. Add a Large Pearl to the center of the punched circle.
6. Color only the outside lines of Four Frames stamp with bird with the Real Red marker and stamp on Very Vanilla card stock. Use the Stamp-a-ma-jig to position the Sentiment stamp which you stamp in Gumball Green ink. Punch with Decorative Label punch. Adhere to back of Fancy Favor with Dimensionals.
