Bag a lope


Yesterday Sharon hosted a workshop and although the card her guests made is the same as an earlier post I demonstrated how to make a bag a lope. This cute little bag is made from an envelope (SU whisper white). You seal the envelope and then score at 1" on three sides and then cut 1" from the other. I have then used the very vintage wheel and perfect plum and rollered each side along the bottom edge.
The greeting was stamped using perfect plum and wild wasabi markers and came from Punch Bunch one of the sale-a-bration sets you can earn for free with any order of £45. This was punched out using the 1 1/4" circle punch and layered onto a 1 3/8" circle of blushing bride and then onto a scallop circle of perfect plum.
Although you can make a handle for the bag I have used the round tab punch, punched out a hole using the crop-o-dile and tied using silver elastic thread. The bag held some SU goodies for Sharon.
I will show you a bag a lope using some more of punch bunch and with a handle later.
