Fun Snowman Treat Bags: Sunday Cardmaking

By Allie Gower on January 20, 2013 in Card Making, Holidays

I’m back with a Sunday Cardmaking project. This week we’re making Snowman Treat Bags. I made a couple of quick, simple snowman thank you cards, and wanted something nice to put them in. Snowman Treat Bags are perfect!

Let me walk you through the process. It’s not hard at all!

Directions for making Snowman Treat Bags

I started with two 8.5 x 11″ sheets of cardstock from My Favorite Things and cut a piece 6 x 11″. I scored from left to right at 1″, 6″, and 7″ and folded them, and then adhered them together. For the bottom of the bag I used a piece of cardstock that was 3 x 6″ and I scored it to create three one inch folds. I attached that at the bottom. The handle at the top is 1 x 11″ and it’s held in place with two brads and some adhesive.

I stamped my image on cardstock and colored with Copics, and stamped again on patterned Authentique paper – cutting out the scarf and part of the hat. I used a Copic Marker to highlight some of the shadows. I cut a panel out of the same patterned Authentique paper sized 5.25″ square. I colored the edges of the bag and the mat with a Copic marker to match the patterned paper. The paper edges are inked in the same color using the broad tip. I embellished the stamped image with Polar White Flower Soft and some red pearls from Want2Scrap. I painted the snowman with Smooch. He doesn’t sparkle much in the photo, but after a few coats, he was twinkling in person.

I tied a bow around the bag to hold the cards in place and cinched the bow with some Doodlebug twine and a Wild White Button topped with a Brilliant Blue Button anchored by a snowflake brad. I placed the stamped image on the bag with some dimensional foam tape. Five holes were punched at the top, and I placed five Wild White Buttons held in place by brads. You can simple spread the “legs” on the brads a little to go through the holes, then squeeze them back together to attach to the paper. I used 3 in 1 Craft Glue just to help them stay put.
