For my card, I am using Flourishes Country Charm Labels, Country Charm Borders, Strips and Stripes, and Birthday Pennants stamp sets. I chose to make two bags using cardstock. I am using Flourishes Classic ivory cardstock. I am also using some Paper Company kraft.
For the pattern on my paper, I created my own background combining different border strips from the Country Charm Borders and Strips and Stripes sets. I nested the strips side by side and inked them all to stamp my "designer" background. This is fun and offers so many background possibilities and looks with different inks and cardstocks. The first one I stamped onto kraft using white snow ink. I used Fiskars decorative pinking shears on the top. I stamped the frame image from the Country Charm Labels and die cut with the Spellbinders coordinating Grommet Tags. I attached my tag with adhesive and two gem brads. I sponged the edges with chamomille ink.
The second bag I stamped the same background. I decided not to mix up the strips at this point. I am using Memento Lulu Lavender and Sweet Plum inks. I stamped a different frame from the Country Charm Labels set and used the coordinating Spellbinder's Grommet Tags to cut out. I used dimensionals to attach. I made this one a bit more girly with some dyed to match seam binding, a floral button, and prima rose. The sentiment for both bags was stamped using the Birthday Pennants set. I stuffed both bags in the top pick with some seam binding that I dyed today. My dd will probably end up using these little bags. I could have used some candy, but I probably would have sampled it so I opted for a more non-edible stuffing. Finish measurement is 3 x 4.5.
