Bags of fun with Spellbinder dies.

Hi folks, Erika here and today I want to share with you the bags I love to create with the Spellbinder grand dies.  First the picture...

For my project I have used Spellbinder grand die labels 23 together with Labels 30, 21 and 14.  The stamp is by Hero arts. 

First cut out your dies.

Then place a circle die to cut out the handle at the top of your large shape but you only put the top half of the circle through your calibur and then fold it back on itself inside thus creating a handle shape. 

The centre gusset can be as deep or wide as you wish, all you need remember is to allow 1/2" fold each side to attach to the die.  It also needs to run up each side so that it creates the bag effect.  It will basically be a U shape with tabs. 

 

Then cut a triangle where your folds meet so that it attaches easily to both of your large dies like so.

Add the other side and your box is complete.

Then you can decorate however you please. 

This one is a different colour combo.

The bags are quick and easy to create and much more personal for giving a gift of thanks also with the size of the grand dies you have a whole range of sizes upto the largest 8" dies.

I hope you are having a fine crafty weekend, I'm involved in a Craft retreat this weekend...so mine definitely will be. 

Happy crafting!

Erika
