Mini Self Closing Bag - with a video!
Howdy!
Today's project is not a completely original one, but it is completely adorable and easily giftable. I have seen this style of bag all over Pinterest and YouTube for awhile, but I recently watched a video by Ann's Happy Stampers. In hers, she tried to add a round Lindt Truffle to her bag, but it wouldn't close properly. I LOVE Lindt Truffles and I enjoy gifting them. So, I decided to create one specifically for those truffles. Check the end of this post for my video!
I started my stamping all over a 4" x 5 1/2" piece of Whisper White using my Playful Backgrounds stamp set with So Saffron and Sweet Sugarplum. From there, I used my Simply Scored to score it at 2 1/2" and 5" on the long side. On the short side, I scored at 1 1/4" and 3 1/4". Next, on the long side that has the 1 1/4" gap from the edge I scored to that first score line at 1 3/4" and 4 1/4". At this point, I placed the piece on my grid paper and scored from the partial score line to each corner.
I folded and burnished all the straight score lines. Then, I got rid of the little rectangle pieces and wedged the end tab. I cut up and wedged into all of the four bottom squares and separated the two top tabs. At this point, I folded and burnished the diagonal score lines. I added Fast Fuse to attached the end tab to the side of the box and then more to close up the bottom.
With the box built, I stamped a sentiment from the Tabs for Everything stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on more Whisper White. I punched that out with the 3/4" Circle Punch and along a matching circle of Sweet Sugarplum cardstock. I layered those with a dimensional and used a little Snail to add that to the bag. Finally, I decorated it with Enamels Shapes in So Saffron and Sweet Sugarplum.
And, here is a photo of the prototype that I showed in the video.
I used a piece of paper from the Cupcakes & Carousels DSP stack to create the bag. I decorated it using the same stamp set, Early Espresso ink, Very Vanilla cardstock, 1" Circle Punch, Layering Circles Framelits, Bermuda Bay cardstock, and a Bermuda Bay Enamel Shape.
