All Dressed Up Music From My Heart Gift Bag. Having made 8 cards from one sheet of 12 x 12 card yesterday, I thought I would make a bag to put them in today. I pulled the All Dressed Up die from the Best Dressed Suite. In the Mini Catalogue there are images showing it in two styles of handbag and as a back pack. I am doing neither.

I simply want a bag to hold the cards and keep them safe while gifting. So I decided to make up the basic bag, but instead of adding the handles I added a piece of the Gold Shimmer Ribbon from the Christmastime is Here Suite. Did you know that all the products from that Suite are still available? They are certainly worth a look.

I used the same Golden Honey Black/Gold striped Designer Series Paper, from Sale-a-Bration, that I used on the cards. I used the die as a template for cutting the paper to the right size, simply by drawing around the inside of the front/back of the die. This is the perfect size to decorate your bag.

The stamping is from the Music From The Heart stamp set, so ties back to the mini cards well. I masked off the ‘of’ on the ‘of thanks’ stamp before inking the rest of it with Versamark and stamping under the Piano keys. After heat embossing with gold powder, I die cut the piece using one scalloped stitched rectangles from the So Sweetly Dies. Popping the sentiment up on black dimensionals was the final step.

How simple was that? To watch the making process, simple click on the You Tube link above. Remember to give the video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it, and to subscribe if you would like to see more. I am aiming for 8,000 subscribers at the moment. I would like to think I can hit my goal before the end of Sale-a-Bration, so I have just over 2 months to go. I am keeping my fingers crossed that lots of kind people who enjoy my videos will help out.
