25 Days of Christmas- Pop up Shopping bag and Peaceful Deer

I LOOVE this paper- I have used it so many way- love the bright colors- so modern- Celebrate Everything was the hostess DSP from the holiday mini and I hope to buy another pack before it is gone!

cut 2 pieces of DSP  2x 5 1/4 as shown. Take a piece of gold Festive Foils and cut a strip to show the dots - so sparkly pretty- 

Take a piece of circle diecut from Stylish Shapes and stamp the trees in pool party and sentiment in black. Stamp the deer in Soft suede onto piece of scrap whisper white and punch out and mount with dimensionals - now that is the front of the card.- pretty all on its own. but of course we can't leave a good thing alone- we are going to make a pop up shopping bag on the inside - this is a great way of getting rid of all your 12x 12 pretty double sided DSP - each sheet makes 3 bags- cut them into 4 x 12 inch pieces keeping in mind the direction if you need to-

Score along the 12 inch side at 4 1/4,  5.  5 3/4  and at 10, 10 3/4, and 11 1/2 inches as shown.  Score on the 4 inch side 1/2 inch from one side and 1 inch from the other.  

in order to make the pop up bag you will cut out the side panels as shown above in hatchmark. you can angle the bottom part ot make it sit more pretty.

 Glue the last 1/2 inch onto the other side to make the bag side.  Fold over the 1 inch top to the inside (important if you want to make a handle with eyelets or holes and put ribbons in for handles or if your paper has an ugly inside- to cover it up like I did for this one- who wants fireworks for Christmas?)

Put tape on the bottom part both front and back and put the bag close to the crease and tape down. when you open, the bag will pop up. put some tissue paper and gift card and you are good to go- You can also tie the handles to keep the card secure.
