Gift Bag Topper

I have another Sneak Peek today. I immediately noticed these awesome dies in the upcoming Mini Catalog. They are a bundle called Celebration Tidings. But the dies are the star of the show in my opinion.

When I first began stamping many, many years ago, there was a heavy die named Top Note that was used as a bag topper quite often. We really have not had anything similar until this. When I saw this set of dies, I thought of that and had to make a bag topper. This is the 2nd largest of the dies, so they are more designed as a card layer. But how adorable is this on these Printed Gusseted Cello Bags?

I die cut the piece first and then embossed it with the Wrapped In Texture 3D Embossing Folder. There are two in the package and this is the “less tight” texture one.

I cut my Whisper White to fit inside the shapes of the topper and stamped the sentiment and the floral. I colored the floral with Stampin’ Blends. The idea I had for it sticking up is like from a place card holder. I marked where the top of the topper hit on the Whisper White and then fussy cut just the upper section. I like the look of this.

The sentiment and the floral are from the bundle, the Celebration Tidings Stamp set. There are a variety of sentiments included. The cello bag is actually 3 X 9 in size. So I just cut off about 3″ from the top and folded it over. When I was looking for a treat to use, I ran across a bag of these hand sanitizer that I bought “who knows when” to use in projects. I wish I had found them sooner! LOL!!!
