To create the card, cover the front of a blank card base with blue and yellow patterned papers using Therm O Web mini tape runner adhesive. Cut a rounded hill from green patterned paper and adhere to the bottom of the card. Machine stitch the edges, if desired.
Fussy cut the large palm tree from the Cute Cuts paper. Apply Therm O Web Lots o Zots™ Tiny adhesive dots to the tree and adhere to the card. These dots are small enough for even the thinnest areas, like this tree trunk, yet strong enough to hold even heavy embellishments in place.
Affix the chipboard wave border strip from the Ciao Chip Icons to the bottom of the card. Trim off excess and save for use later on the gift bag.
Tie twine around the tree trunk, and swag off to the left side of the card. Thread tags from the Miniatures Sticker sheet through the twine, and adhere twine with a Zots™ adhesive dot. Tie a bow from twine and adhere with a Zots dot. Place a Therm O Web 3D Adhesive Square under each tiny tag and affix to the card base. Tuck a flag pin under the chipboard at the base of the tree. Fussy cut a sun image from patterned paper and adhere to the top of the card.
For the gift bag, use the remaining yellow cloud print paper leftover from making the card. Fold in the two sides so that they slightly overlap in the back. Adhere the back flaps together using Therm O Web 1/8″ SuperTape. Score 1″ up from the bottom of the bag, and 1″ in on both sides. For the sides, score only until you reach the bottom score line. Fold open the bottom flaps as shown here.
And then fold both the top and bottom flaps in half so that they slightly overlap. Secure with SuperTape.
Open the bag, creating a valley fold on each side. Decorate to match the card using the leftover chipboard wave piece and extra chipboard and Cute Cut images. Tuck a flag pin into the base of the tree and adhere a twine bow using Zots adhesive dots.
Punch holes in the top of the bag and thread with twine for handles.
Enjoy!
