I needed a Hostess gift for an upcoming workshop and I have been tossing around different ideas.  Finally, I saw an idea from Ronda Wade (www.rondawade.com)  jumped out at me .     It is the cutest little bag.  I changed it up a bit to suit my purposesBag left

As you can see, the bag is made from  Sweet Sorbet dsp.  My favorite part of the bag is the unique closure.  It uses a 2" x 5-1/2" piece of  Crisp Cantaloupe c.s. and the top is punched  with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch.  Some 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon is threaded through the holes in the tag topper and then it is tied off with Crisp Cantaloupe Twine  from the Sweet Sorbet accessory Pack.  Remember that this can be earned free with a $50 order before shipping and tax.

The flower is actually a result of punching 6 Pool Party pieces with the 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch.  Each of these scallop circles were cut with the Fringe Scissors.  Becareful not to cut to far or you will ruin the flower.  After all of these have been "fringed" stack them one on top of the other.  Pierce a hole in the center and add a Mini Silver Brad to hold them together.  Spritz the flower with water and scrunch it up to get the full flower look.  Finish the center off with an In Color Boutique Details.

 Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
