FFF Color Challenge & The tutorial for the Heart shaped Giftbag!

Farm Fresh Fridays Color Challenge ! I love these colors together, for more details on this challenge please visit The Greeting Farm Blog !

Now on my card I had to use a different blue, I think it was close, but you dont have to use the SU! colors, just match them to what you already have
Today Im sharing with you my FFF challenge card, and another heart shaped giftbag/Tutorial!!




On all my projects I used this super sweet image from the newly released set called "Sweet Message"



I was going to make this a card and then decided it should be a notepad/notebook

Now on to my Tutorial !!!

I kinda changed a couple things when doing my second bag which is the pink one, so there are mixed up pics but I will explain along the way!! :)




Here is another giftbag I made on thursday for todays post!

I just love the new images they are sooo sweet!!!








Here is a side view and on this pink giftbag I used the felt to line the outside (you can see the outside from the sideview!












Ok to start with I used the Cricut George and basic shapes cartridge. I cut 2 5 1/2 heart shapes.
These will be used for the front and the back of your bag!
Next I cute a panel that measures 9 1/2 by 2 1/2 this will be used for the bottom and sides of your bag!
You will score the panel at 4" inches and then again at 5 1/2 inches. along the long side I scored it at 2 " inches, on both sides, or just score to make the inside flap be a 1/2 inch depends on what kinda scoring tools you use.


Now if you dont sew then what you will want to do is add your trims or laces, and then add some kind of heavy glue, like the ATG gun, or glue gun will work,
On my first bag I used the double sided red sticky tape, I find that the glue gun works best if you are NOT sewing!!






Here is the front of my heart. So the first thing I added to the inside is my lace, then added the felt, and then sewing!!






Here are the 2 pink ones done, showing the inside. Nice clean look . You can always add trim if you are not sewing to get a nice look as well :)









See the panel on the pink one is done with the felt. I added the felt to the outside of this panel.


Now on the first one like I said I used the sticky red tape, but on the pink one I used an Hot Glue Gun!! And love the hot glue gun better

To add a Handle just add holes to each side.
Then added ribbon leaving the cut piece on the outside. that way you can tie your bow on with the loose end .


















Here is my first bag done!! I hope this tutorial was helpful!!!
Thank you for stopping by!!!
Please let me know what you think :)
Hugs,
Cheryl
