Favor Bag tutorial

Supplies

• I started believe it or not with a 5X7 card blank
• scor pal or any scor tool
• adhesive
• stamp set
• inks
• a boarder punch (I used threading water punch by fiskars)
• Sissors
• Crop-o-dile
• ribbon
• treats for the inside

Instructions

1. if you start with a card blank like I did, you will want to cut your card down, the width should be 4 inches and the length 10 inches (open) you could of course start with a blank piece of cardstock and cut it to 4X10
2. score paper on the 4 inch side at 1/2 inch on both sides
   
3. on the 10 inch side score at 5 inches (if you start with a card base this will be done for you) and then again at 5 1/2 inches
   
4. fold all of your score lines and use a bone folder to make the folds crisp
5. take your border punch and punch both sides on the 4 inches
6. place some adhesive(permanent is best, I use provo craft sticky strip, (red)) on one of the side flaps and the bottom flaps and then press your fingers to secure the side shut
7. repeat step 6 on the other side
8. punch small holes on both sides and place your ribbon through(you can leave this off if you want a box and not a bag)
9. fill with a gift card, candy, small treat and enjoy!

Thank you
Happy Stamping
