Instructions:

A sweet gift tag wrapped in a bag is an awesome addition to any gift. Create these for yourself or give them away as a gift themselves!

1. Begin by spritzing the tags with Creme de Rouge Glimmer Mist. You may want to place them under a weight to flatten them out while they dry. Once dried, stamp them with various sentiments.

2. Next, cut a piece of the polka dot paper and a length of trim for each glassine bag. Wrap and secure the trim around the paper and adhere to the bag.

3. Decorate each of the bags adding flowers, leaves, chipboard and stickers.

4. If you decide to give them away, create a gift tag with one of the smaller spritzed tags and tie them together with some twine.

the space with underlining.

2. Print your stationary onto cream paper and trim to 4 x 5.75 inches.

the rub-ons closely before applying will help you place them correctly onto

scalloped strips from blue paper. Attach to red paper.

6. To create the main flower, cut two flowers out of pattern paper.
Cut several petals off the second flower being careful to keep the center in

petal. Add dimension by adding a pop dot to the end of the petals.

7. Attach the center of the flower and embellish with rhinestones and
Stickles.
