I die cut a stitched circle from the square of Basic White card using the Stylish Shapes Dies. The ‘ground’ image, from the Scenic Adventures stamp set was stamped along the bottom using Crumb Cake ink.  I cut off one side of the circle and adhered it to the card front.

Using the Notes & Dotes Dies I die cut the bag, twice from scrap Friends of the Ocean dsp. I die cut 2 handles from scrap Basic White card and glued one to each of the die cut bags. I trimmed the tabs off the bottom of each die cut bag and then trimmed the bottom tabs in half. The remaining scorelines were folded and burnished and the 2 outer tabs of each bag were adhered together to close the bag. I applied glue to each of the tabs at the base of the bag positioned it against the scoreline on the inside of the card front and closed the bag to secure it in position.

I folded the two side flaps of the bag inwards and glued them down. The tab on the bottom of the die cut bag was snipped off the bottom also adhered down. The 2 white straps were then adhered to the front of the die cut bag along the line of the seam. I had die cut these on card with some adhesive sheet applied to the reverse to make this easier. I then adhered the bottom piece and the bag handle using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The bag was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.
