I had these snowflakes sitting on my desk so decided to make a Gift Bag with them. They were cut with the Big Shot Snowflake Die and one of the Snowflake Sizzlets. I used one of my large Rhinestone brads to hold them together.

Step #1 Cut your Card stock…I sued Shimmery White as I thought it matched best with these little white bags I had. I cut the card stock for the front of the bag to 4 x 5- 7/8 and the back of the bag at 4 x 7 1/2…I then cut a piece of Crumb Cake card stock to 3/4 x 4 and used my scallop punch on the edge. Then punch out two 1/2 inch circles and have your paper piercer and two smaller Rhinestone Brads ready.

I then ran the top of the back piece (scored at 1-1/2 )through the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder using your Big Shot.

Sponge the edges with Crumb Cake Ink using a wedge of Sponge. Do the front and the top fold over of the flap.
