Welcome Crafters!
Once a month my stamping friends and I create two projects--usually a card and a 3-D item. If you are following the blog hop, you may have come from Barb's blog. Continue on to Steph's blog by clicking her link found at the bottom of my blog.
This month's theme is Bags, Tags, and Boxes--just in time for the holidays! I love making all three things. In October I had a table at a local craft show and nearly all of my bags, tags, and boxes sold out!

| The little box holds 8 of the Let it Snow tags. |
Celebrate with Tags Bundle--mittens, white circle, and snowflake
Bag
 |
| Small "table bags" for my holiday table containing chocolates for my guests |
Here is the template for the bags: (not to scale)
I pinched two sides together creasing the tops. Then I rotated the bag and pinched in the other two sides, punched a ribbon hole in the top, and wrapped ribbon around the bag. A cute little layered tag completed the bag.

| Super easy to make! |
Boxes
 |
| These cute little (2-1/4" x 2-1/4" x 3/4") boxes were a big hit with my craft show customers. I could have sold twice as many as I had! One Ghirardelli chocolate square fits inside. The red gems on each of my tags, bags, and boxes were rhinestones that I colored red with a Real Red Blends marker. The template with dimensions and score lines:  |

| These boxes do NOT require any adhesives! They can be stored flat until needed. |
A little ribbon, a greeting, some little twig embellishments (I used white and red pearlized enamel to create the berries.) and they are done.
Very easy to make!
The craft show was in the middle of October, so I made some of these for Halloween, some for Thanksgiving, and some for Christmas.
Designer Series Paper (2" x 2" if using a mat) --Boughs of Holly
I made the boxes in a variety of the colors in the DSP: sahara sand, soft succulent, real red, evening evergreen, and old olive
A big thank you to Julie DeMatteo (Paper Pixie) for her You Tube tutorial found here: (313) Gilded Autumn Gift Box Tutorial - YouTube)
Her box is a different size than mine, but the construction is the same.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you found some crafting inspiration. My fellow bloggers and I love reading your comments, so please take a minute to let us know how you liked our tags, bags, and boxes.
