Have you checked out page 9 in the 2015 Occasions Catalog? You will see the neatest brand new thinlits die called the Mini Treat Bag Die
Look what ALL you get with this set - not only the thinlits to make the bags, but lots and lots of additional items to decorate your creations! LOVE IT!
It's SO quick and easy to make up a bag for some simple treats, gift cards or whatever you need for a quick gift!
Check out this great Stampin' Up Video on how quick and easy this little bag goes together
Now isn't that just the neatest?
And....I wanted to share a few MORE treat bags you can make with this die. Don't you just LOVE tools that are versatile?
This treat bag is about 1 1/4" wide so you can put LOTS in it
To make this bag you cut two of the largest size framelits
The next step is to cut OFF the top pieces
Now you score at 1/2" and then at 1 1/4" ( 3/4" from your 1/2" score line)
Fold those score lines 1/2" as a mountain fold and 1 1/4" (or 3/4" from the 1/2" score line) as a valley fold.
Add Sticky Tape to the 1/2" tab on both pieces and adhere together to make up your bag.
Cut a piece that is 3 5/8" x 1 1/2" for the bottom and attach both bottom folds to that. And....your bag is ready for some fun treats!
I wanted a little smaller bag, so I followed the above steps in cutting two large sized pieces and then I cut OFF the 1/2" tab and scored at 3/4"
I added sticky tape to the 3/4" piece and put my two pieces together to make a 3/4" wide bag. I made up 4 of our Note Cards using the new Lotus Blossom stamp set (FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration), added 4 envelopes and have a GREAT gift set for my hostesses this month
Here are the cards I made to put in this bag
And here is another one I made - it will be great for some cookies, candy, gift card AND candy - you name it .....
The next size was shared online by Chris Kolly and I LOVE it. Fits an Almond Hershey Bar perfectly
I don't have an Almond Hershey bar handy, but wouldn't this make a wonderful surprise for someone? Maybe a Co-worker, or good friend who needs a "pick-me-up"!!
To make THIS size treat bag, you cut two of the smaller sized thinlits and just adhere together!
I hope you have gotten some inspiration from this post!! Let me know if you have ANY questions. I'm in the process of making up a PDF file with pictures and complete instructions. Anyone who purchases the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Die will receive this file from me (as soon as it's done!!)
