Welcome to this month’s Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop where our theme is ‘3D items’. If you have hopped over from the lovely Sharleen Luciano I am sure you loved her project.
I have made many of these square bottomed, pinch topped bags over the years. They are so versatile and can be sized up or down very easily. They can also be made with designer series paper as an alternative.
To recreate the Square Bottomed, Pinch Topped Bag you will need;
Whisper White 2¾” by 2¾” inches scored at ⅜” on all 4 sides
Whisper White 8¼” by 4½”
Scrap Whisper White for the tag

Ifter scoring the square piece of Whisper White cardstock I cut up the 4 corner squares to form tabs and adhered the tabs with Tear and Tape to form the base of the bag. Normally I would adhere the tabs to the outside of the base as they are then hidden when you wrap the side panel around the base but this time I forgot………… !

I stamped the sweet flowers form the Grandma’s House stamp set in a row all across the bottom of the large panel of Whisper White using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I coloured in the flowers using the following Blends Markers – Lovely Lipstick combo, Granny Apple Green combo, Call Me Clover combo, So Saffron combo & Soft Flirty Flamingo combo
I added Tear and Tape to the back of the stamped layer, along the bottom and down one side. I removed the protective cover from the bottom piece of tape and starting from the middle of one side slowly wrapped the panel around the base.

The protective cover was then removed from Tear and Tape up the side and the 2 edges pressed together. They bow out slightly which is normal.

Pinching the top together in the centre I punched 2 holes using my ⅛” hand held circle punch, sadly retired. I fed through some Lovely Lipstick ⅛” Grosgrain Ribbon and tied a bow.

For the tag I masked off 2 of the flowers with a postit note and stamped the remaining flower in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured in the flower with the same Blends Markers and added the sentiment from the Above the Clouds stamp set in the same ink. This was then punched out with the Pretty Label Punch.
The tag was added to the bag with some White Baker’s Twine. Such a pretty little gift bag. I hope you like it.
