Paperbag Card for Noor! Design UK and All About Magnolia Challenges

Hello everyone, are you also already in Christmas mood? I am and enjoy to make Christmas themed projects at the moment. Do you like to make a special Christmas card this season? Then I am sure you will love to create a paper bag card. I so love to make them. They are so fun and really simple to make. Look, I will show you...

take a paperbag of any size you like it. Mine is 20 x 12 cm, that makes a card of 10 x 12 cm.

Fold the paperbag in the middle as shown below...

And now you're ready to decorate... front, inside, backside, and the inlay. 

Below you can see the closed card and the front...Be sure to add the seam binding to close the card before you glue the front panel to the card. I coloured the sweet image with Distress Inks. 

I created a pocket on the front of the card to add the two tags.

Below you can see the inside... Glue the two edges of the paperbag ground down to give a tag a better hold.

And we have a hidden panel as well, who is hidden inside the paper bag. Add a strap at the one side of the panel to get it out of the bag.

And here you can see the backside of the paperbag card. Also be sure here as well to glue the seam binding before you glue the back panel to the paper bag.

 I hope you liked my  tutorial and I was able to inspire you. If you have any questions just feel free to ask. I LOVE to make those cards. They are so much fun to create and are great to use your paper left overs. Look out; it's danger to get addicted :o)

I also made this card as a reminder at the All About Magnolia Challenges where we have the theme 'All About The Holy Night'. We look forward seeing you joining our challenge. There is still some time to join.

 Have a happy day now!
Hugs, Karina

Another Paperbag Card

Hello everyone, right now I am really addicted to make paperbag cards. They are so much fun to create. For my card I show you today I used the Party Snowman from Bildmalarna. Below you can see the front side of my card...

A close up of the image. I coloured it with Distress Inks.

And here is the inside of my card. The papers I used for my card is from Carta Bella 'Merry & Bright'. The Scalopped Tags are Magnolia DooHickeys and the border is dark pink Raffia lace. The notesheet is from a Smash Pad.

Here you can see the hidden panel who stucks in the pad.

And here you can see the backside. Here I used another Magnolia DooHickey Dream Tag.

The most of the items I used for my card are available at Bunny Zoe's Crafts.



Hope I was able to give you some inspiration. Thank you so much for your visit! And hey, will show you some more Paperbag cards soon... am I addicted or what? :o)) Love to make them!
Hugs, Karina
