Stampin Up! Jingle All the Way in an open Sleigh Ride Watercolour Wash

If you want to haave a good laugh at my expense, you just have to watch my video tutorial from today! I made a BIG blooper, but thankfully blagged my way out of it .... and the moral of the story is that the novice strives to know how to correct foo pah!s without throwing their creation in the bin, ... and the expert has made so many errors in their journey for excellence, and continue to make them, despite their skills, and don't mind sharing with the experience with others, so that they too may use the experts experience to their advantage when needed lol

Most of all, keep a sense of humor, and laugh at yourself often.

We are ALL full of imperfections, but don't let that put you off of striving for the best you can be :)

I hope you enjoy today's video and tutorial

Stampin Up! Gift Bag Punch Board With an Antique Tag, Snowflake Element & Metal Rimmed Pearls

No Video today as the high winds overnight has caused out internet to slow right down, so the videos I shot yesterday are still uploading from my PC (the upload began at at 6 pm last night!) and only half of one video has uploaded so far.

However, I am uploading a Gift Bag Tutorial using the GBPB using the Winter Wonderland DSP pack, that will be published next week.

Back to today, & I am sharing with you a Gift Bag, made using the Gift Bag Punch Board, and the Antique Tags Hostess Stamp Set

The Home For Christmas Designer Series Papers are just so Retro/Vintage in style and makes me reminisce on Chris masses Past when I was growing up in the 60's & 70's!

The Gift Bag Punch board (GBPB) allows you to make your own Gift Bags from either cardstock, Vellum or Decorative Papers (Designer Series Papers (DSP)

The GBPB comes with full instructions, but play around with it, and you have the scope to make wide and short gift bags, or long and thin etc ... Just select the size of your cardstock and and start scoring and punching

The board comes with a built in punch that allows you to punch out ribbon holes when making your bag.

Below you will find icons of all the products I used today, just click on the icons to view or order them via my Demonstrator Website

Table built using Product Table Builder by The Crafty Owl - Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.

Trim your Designer Series Paper to 10" cms x 11"
Follow the Large guide on the punch board, scoring and punching as you go
Fold & burnish all score lines
Run some Fast Fuse Adhesive along the long flap and adhere to the opposite edge of the DSP
Add some Fast Fuse Adhesive to the base flap and adhere on top of the other base flap
If you are putting something a little heavy inside the bag, it would be a good idea to trim 2 pieces of cardstock the same size as the base and attach one inside the bag, and the other on the outside bag
concertina the bag sides together and punch the 2 holes onto the top of the bag using the integral punch
Thread through some Real Red Striped Ribbon
Stamp your tag onto Very Vanilla Cardstock using Cherry Cobbler Ink, Punch it out using the 2" Circle Punch.
Mat that onto Cherry Cobbler Cardstock using the 2 1/2" Circle punch
Punch a hole in the tag, and thread with Gold Cording Trim, attach to the ribbon
Add a couple of Snowflake Elements, Basic Rhinestones and a Metal Rimmed Pearl
