So I created these bags a couple of months ago during my Wednesday Facebook Live video.  (Facebook:  Stamp with Lisa Brown).  They are a really simple and easy Sliding Gift Bag that you can do so much with...  Use any color card stock and any Designer Series Paper you would like or that maybe fits a theme for a party.  Just have fun with them!

You can see my full instructions on how I made these on my YouTube Channel HERE.   I do want to give a shout out to SallyStampers out of the UK.  That is where I received the instructions on how to make these sliding gift bags.  Thank you Sally!

THE BASICS:  you will need a 12 x 9.5" piece of card stock and a piece of Designer Series Paper that is 4 x 10.5"

I give all dimensions along with scoring and cutting to create these and show you step-by-step instructions in my video.

Here is the different Designer Series Papers I used and a couple of basic supplies.  Keep in mind, some of the papers were only available for a limited amount of time:

Have you guys been keeping busy?  I always think the first quarter of the year is going to provide some down time, but I don't know where is it all going.  Including Sale-a-Bration... we are in the last couple of weeks already.  Crazy!

I did not want you to miss out on some really pretty paper and a great stamp set.  I used both, along with some coordinating dies to create these cards. 

My colors are Purple Posy and Soft Sea Foam.  Two of my favorites.  I know you cannot order the Purple Posy ink pad but you can order Purple Posy Blends to color images, ribbons, accessories.  It is a great option to still be able to use the color.  Love using my Blends for this purpose, in any color!

My card bases are standard 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 then scored at 4-1/4"

The So Very Vellum paper is a Free Sales-a-Bration earn with a $50.00 product purchase.  I cut my pieces to 4" x 5-1/2" so this way you can get six pieces per sheet.  The So Very Vellum comes in a 12x12 pack of 3 colors (blue not shown) and you receive two sheets of each color. 

Another Free Sale-a-Bration earn with a $50.00 product purchase, is the Happy Birthday To You stamp set.  Did you notice, I only have the Flowers on my card and not the cake like the stamp has!!!  That's because there is a coordinating product called Birthday Dies and one of the dies just cuts the flowers!  This is a huge bonus for me to get altered looks from the stamp set.  I used Smokey Slate ink for a softer look. 

Here are the dies...

LOOK!  The sprig and leaf dies cut 2 at a time!!!  So I cut some glimmer sprigs and some vellum leaves.

I'd be remiss if I did not mention the stitched rectangle... this is from one of my NEW FAVORITE Die sets called Stitched So Sweetly found in the 2020 Mini Catalog.  It is available in a BUNDLE Call So Sentimental but for this project, I just used the dies. check them out, they are awesome!

Little Ladybug is just the sweetest stamp set.  From her cute little face to the adorable flower she can sit on. 

Her are two slightly different versions of the same card.  But LOOK at those antennas.  Can you figure out where I got them from?  No... keep reading.

The card front is from the 2019-2021 In-Color 6x6 paper stack!  I chose the diamond pattern but there are script words, buffalo check and another pattern that I am not quite sure what you would call it.  

The card without ribbon has a base of Thick Whisper White.

The card with the ribbon has Pineapple Punch card base and 1/8" Pineapple Punch Ribbon. 

My Whisper White square is 3-1/2 x 3-1/2"

Soooooooooooo....  still curious where the ANTENNAS came from?  It is the top curl from the Parisian Dies (click on words or check out supply list below).  I just snipped the top curl off and tucked behind her head. 

Don't forget, Ladybug die are now available for purchase to coordinate with the Ladybug stamp set you can earn for Free during Sale-a-Bration.  Just be a Hostess or place an order for $300!
