Let's start out with the Mystery Stamping instructions. I will denote my steps with an asterisk.
We are given these instructions one at a time and after you finish the first step then you move onto the next. You can use these instructions for your own Mystery Stamping and customers or your team can use any stamp set they like.
1. Fold the 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" cardstock in half to make the card base.
* I used the Stars Treat Bag instead of cardstock.
2. Add the DSP stripes on the left overlapping a little.
*I added Tear n Tape along all sides of the Glimmer Paper and placed it on the inside of the front of the bag. This was in lieu of two of the 3" x 1" pieces of DSP.
3. Use the Take Your Pick tool and poke holes in the front of the bag about 1/2" from the bottom.
Push Crumb Cake Baker's Twine through one hole and up through the other. Tie a double bow. You can adjust the location of the bow later by sliding it.
4. Adhere the 1" x 3" DSP along the left edge of the front overlapping as needed. (the strips are part of the Mystery Stamping instructions I received at our Team Meeting. You can use 5" x1" single strip of DSP if you prefer.)
5. Stamp or add an image to the right side of the card hanging off the edge.
* I went rogue here and used the Scottie Dog punch, punch out the dog using Crumb Cake cardstock. Punch out the bow using Basic White cardstock.
6. Use the Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker to draw the dog's eye.
Use the Light Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends to color the bow. Add the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends to the edges.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to attach the bow to the dog.
Adhere the dog to the front of the treat bag.
7. Stamp Merry Christmas on the 3-1/2" x 1-1/4 Basic White cardstock using Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Pad.
8. Cut the ends in a whale tail or slanted. Adhere it to the front of the card overlapping the DSP. I used a piece of an Adhesive Sheet. It's sturdier than Dimensionals.
9. Finish off the project by adding the Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the front of the bag and a Rhinestone Basic Jewell on the bow.
I attached the bow with a Mini Glue Dot.
TA-DA!
