I LOVE making Fancy Favor Gift Bags and the Pop-Up Posies Kit is just perfect to embellish it! You can have a fun little gift bag in less than 10 minutes! Enjoy making your own version! You can also use flower punches and Label or Window Framelits to decorate it if you don’t have the Pop-Up Posies Kit.
SUPPLIES:
* = Spring 2013 Catalog *Pop-Up Posies Kit #131395
Card Stock: Your choice of: Pacific Point, Cajun Craze, Calypso Coral, or Island Indigo.
Ink: When this Kit is no longer available you can use any Framelit or Big Shot Die in place of the embossed labels and Punched Flowers to get the look you want.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Cut your desired color of card stock at 5-1/2″ x 11″ for your Fancy Favor die. I used Pacific Point. Run it through your Big Shot with your Fancy Favor XL Bigz Die cutting of part of the side tab. I used an Extended Cutting Plate on the top and bottom since I didn’t want the side creases well-defined.
2. Assemble your Fancy Favor Bag. Fold all creases for the corners and bottom flaps (skip the side pleats). Lay the outside facing up. Put Sticky Strip on the side tab along the crease, on the outside edges of both rectangle flaps and one triangle flap. Flip your Fancy Favor over and put Sticky Strip on the edge of the last triangle flap.
3. Adhere your side Tab to the edge of your Fancy Favor Bag. Now stand it upside-down so the bottom flaps are on the top. Remove the Sticky Strip backing. Place the two rectangle flaps down to form the bottom of the box. Next place the triangle flap that has the Sticky Strip facing up onto the two rectangle flaps. Now place the last triangle flap down. Turn your Fancy Favor bag over and use your Bone Folder to press against the areas where the Sticky Strip is so it adheres well.
4. Shape your Posies with long thin handled paint brush by laying the paint brush across the flower so it is in the center of two opposite petals. Fold the petals around the paint brush, leaving the flower center flat. Repeat this process with all the petals on each flower you want to use. I used 3 flowers. Line them up and pierce a hole through the center and insert brad. Place Petals in desired positions and use a Glue Dot or two if necessary in the center to hold the petals in place.
5. Decide where you want your flower to be. Stamp the sentiment “Just for You” which is included in your Kit with Black StazOn ink in the top of your embossed label.
6. Adhere your flower to the embossed label with several Glue Dots or Dimensionals. Tie a bow with the ribbon and attach it with a Glue Dot.
7. Adhere the decorated embossed label to your Fancy Favor Bag with either Glue Dots or Dimesionals.
8. Now to put a little surprise in it for a special someone……….
Happy Stamping! Nendy
