Sweetheart gift bag

By Annie Weis

To make a bag for sweet treats or a special gift for a loved one, cut out a bag design from Cloud 9 Sweetheart I Heart U paper. Use a rotary trimmer and a gift bag template (or take apart a purchased gift bag to use as a template). Score the sides of the bag with the scoring blade. Fold the sides of the bag along the scored lines. Trim an inch of the Cloud 9 Sweetheart Love Lines using the straight blade. Switch to the scallop blade and trim the edge of a 12x12 sheet of red cardstock. Switch back to the straight blade and trim off a ½ inch strip. Line up both strips at the top of the bag and adhere to the gift bag. Add a chipboard tag to the border of the gift bag with a brad. Punch four holes with the hand punch for the ribbon, thread through the bag, and tie a bow on the front of the bag.
