Gift Bag Punch Board

I have a few samples to share with you today. Last weekend we had our New Catalog Open House and I demonstrated how to make this adorable treat holder using the Gift Bag Punch Board.

So here is what the punch board looks like. To tell the truth I don't use it much, but will be changing that! I went looking to get some ideas on making some alternative things with the board and now I can't wait to play some more!

I saw somewhere this adorable treat holder but unfortunately I can't remember where to give them credit. This is super simple to make and goes together quickly. You could put a Roche inside or some chocolates or candies. I started with a piece of 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of Designer Series Paper. You put the paper in horizontal and line up with the start line, punch, score around the gusset area (that triangle looking thing) and then the side line. And don't forget the horizontal line as well. I also used the 1/8" handheld circle punch to put a couple of holes for the ribbon. I used the tear n' tape to hold it altogether.

Here is a small purse. I don't remember what size card stock I started with. You can put some sweet treats in it or jewelry would be REALLY nice. The flap is basically doing the bottom of the bag just once! The balloons are attached with a dimensional and it just tucks behind them.

This is the typical bag you can make using the punch board. I CASED this from the catalog on page 148 using the Colorful Seasons Bundle. The card is landscaped, so I changed it to portrait. This would make a great bag to give a fabulous gift in for the holidays!
