Adult Education Class Week #5!

Before I show you my projects for today….REMINDER: Today is the LAST DAY to use my October Hostess Code because as a group, the Merry Patterns stamp set has been earned and I will be drawing a name for a winner of this stamp set from the group that used the Hostess Code. I need to have my order in before the end of the month expires. For those of you that used the code, your name will be entered into a drawing to earn this stamp set for FREE!

Week #5 was so much fun with my group of girls at the Adult Education class. Since I wanted to show how to create a gift bag with a cello bag and include a coordinating card, we did not create a Christmas card this week. I told them we would create two next week instead. Here’s the photo of the card with the balloons:

We added Stampin’ Dimensionals on some of the balloons that were cut using the  Balloon Bouquet Punch. We also added Rhinestone Jewels in the background.

And I showed them how to cut and score the designer paper so that it would fit in a 4″ Cello Bag to create the neatest gift bag. We attached the coordinating tag to the bag with a ribbon bow tied at the top of the paper clip:

I have a video that I created a while back on the how-to on this gift bag, you can view it here:

Stay tuned for next week’s two Christmas card projects! I had to postpone two weeks of classes due to my hubby’s appointments to get ready for knee replacement surgery. Stay tuned!
