Double Pounch Gift Bag Tutorial :) and Christmas Stamp a Stack is FULL !!!

Good Morning One and All :)

FYI - As of this morning the October 20th Christmas Stamp a Stack is FULL !!!  I have officially closed registration for this event...BUT....if you can't attend and would still love to do the projects and receive the stamp set, kits are available !!!   Email me     and I'll get you "hooked up".  We're going to have quite the party with 50 LADIES and each and every one of you is amazing so it's gonna be a great day !!!!

As promised...here is today's tutorial for the Double Pouch Gift Bag that I posted on Monday...you'll want to check back tomorrow too because I'll be showing you some super cool tricks with your Round Tab Punch !!!  What's that....you don't have a Round Tab Punch yet....well, you'll want one after tomorrow !!!!

I used Dashing DP on my original bag but for the tutorial I used a plain sheet of 12 x 12 Old Olive so that you would be able to see the score marks easier.

Step #1 - Score your 12 x 12 page along two opposite ends at 1".  I marked the score marks with black marker so that you can see the score marks easier.

Step #2 - Run a line of double sided tape down the inside of each of those 1" ends and then fold them over.  The next two pictures show you what I mean.

Step #3 - Now turn your paper and at the opposite ends that you just folded over score the opposite ends at 3 1/2" at each end.

Step #4 - Now turn your paper back again the other way so that the 1" ends that you folded over are running up and down (north and south).  You will now make another score mark down the centre at the 5" mark so this score line will run the opposite direction of your 3 1/5" marks.

 

Step #5...you're just about done so keep up the good work...I'm proud of ya... On opposite sides of the 5" score mark that you just made, you'll want to score again 3/4" on each side.

Step #6 - Take each of the 3 1/2" line and fold them into the centre and run a couple lines of double sided so that when you tape it together it forms a tunnel.  The next few pics should explain what I mean.

There's light at the end of the tunnel now and I promise it's not a train !!!  Just fold your "tunnel"  hehehe....get it....light at the end of the tunnel.....fold your tunnel !!!  Okay let's get "back on track"  oh my gosh I'm cracking myself up today !!!  Seriously now....fold your tunnel piece so that it's mountain and valleys look like this (notice that the ends that joined together are facing up).

If you'd like to place a little piece of tape between your pouches to hold them together you can easily do that.  Here's what it looks like all ready to decorate and another pic of the one I did on Monday.  I put a package of Gourmet Hot Chocolate in each of the pouches.

Have a blast making these.  I think they'd make a nice hostess gift for Christmas get togethers or just as a nice thing to do for someone you care about.  If you have any questions please feel free to   email me     and I'd be more than happy to help in any way that I can.  See ya tomorrow for Round Tab Punch Wonder !!!

Have a great day my friends and thanks for stopping by :)

When you were walking around helping people at the Hamilton regional I kept saying "she looks so familiar" and I couldn't figure out why. Now I know! We were that table of gals from the US all the way to far side of the room near the back. You talked to us a couple of times. I just wanted to say hi! Lorien

Roxy this was so much fun to make. I altered the paper sizes that I started with and got different sizes of pouch bags. I gave you credit for it in my SCS gallery here:
