The Cutting Cafe Large Gift Bag

This week at The Cutting Cafe Blog the Design Team is featuring projects using the Large Gift Bag Template.  I made my bag with a 4th of July theme to hold a surprise for my granddaughter that was visiting us during the holiday.  I used the SVG file and my Silhouette to cut all the pieces for the bag. This bag cuts out approximately six inches wide, 9 inches tall and has a depth of about 4 inches.  The set comes with:

• Two different size bag fringes
• Seven sentiment tags (plus one blank)
• Six long sentiment phrases
• Six word trimmings

I cut the bag pieces for the bag itself out of a medium blue cardstock.  I used the large fringe on my bag.  Since I was going with a 4th of July theme I wanted to use my tricolor ribbon around the top of the bag and for a bow.  I added three firecrackers that I found in the Silhouette store.  (Note the firecrackers are not a Cutting Cafe file).  The handles for the bag are strips of cardstock cut at 1 x 11". Super simple and of course by varying your papers you could make this bag for any occasion.
