This is one of the items I am making for my craft fair also they are called Genie Bags . WHY are they called this ? I have no idea but they are sure cute.. I have no measurements to share since I  used different  sized bags  just measure out your paper bag   the width and the length  then  add an extra 1/4 "-1 " more when cutting  your CS especially  in the length  with the handle  and all ..I used the  word window punch  for the handle punch once then move slightly over and punch again .. since its so hard to punch  through both pieces of card stock I punched out one 1st then  used that as my template for the backside  piece .. I used The  snowflake spot for this  genie bag  along with lots of dazzling diamonds , and I also used  the tag punch for the  mini tag  for my genie bag  stamped snowflake on vanilla  CS in Bravo burgandy and then  fliped over tag punch and then I folded a piece of  bravo B cs  so that I could  punch out the  mini tag/ book lined up  the punch so that there is a  connection  so the tag is more like a mini book  I used the  Left side as my  binding  for my mini tag ( slide punch , looking from  the back side I slid the punch in and left  the  one side  of the punch  outside the line where  the score line is   this will keep the tag  as a book..( so basically  your not even punching the left side of scored line of the cs HTH ) I then added  retired burgandy   wide ogandy ribbon . I am Only making about 10 of these not to sure If I will add something inside or not yet ? and then the question would be  What to add ?

Today I am taking my mom in for her  eye lens to be measured for her cataract surgery thats approaching ..  she needs both eyes done but will do only one at a time ( by doc request ) I am so proud of her to be doing this ..  she is really over due to have it done especially in her  right eye so that will be the 1st one done then   in Dec   she will have 2nd one done  Right before  we head to TN for Christmas  so after I return  from the doc today with my mom I plan to get busy making   goodies  and also getting ready for my  stampers club  on Friday ..

I have decided to use  those Santa wrappers from yesterdays  post  as one of the M&Ts this Friday  instead of having a  Christmas stamp camp this year .. Hey Stampin Queens :Those Large candy bars were on sale at CVS   a few days ago BUT I guess they are no longer on sale for .99 cents .. Harriet said  they are back to reg price .. But still check your local dollar store I have seen them there also .. May not be a great selection,  But the Santas make up for that I suppose .

Until later … Happy Stampin!
