Hello and welcome to Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #160. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. This week we have my favourite challenge a Sketch Challenge. These are my favourite Challenges because the design work has been done for you and I love to see how other card makers interpret the sketch.
I have used Stampin' Up!'s Attention Shoppers Bundle today and teamed it with Shy Shamrock paper from the 2024-2026 In Colour Designer Series Paper Collection.
And I don't think a shopping trolley would be complete without a shopping bag inside. My grandchildren have reached teenage+ age and always appreciate a little money so they can choose their own gift.
This cute little pop-up bag is designed to hold a gift card or some cash for the recipient.
Instructions are as follows:
Prepare your card base as you normally would for the size you wish to make. cover inside panel with basic white cardstock.
Paper/Scoring Measurements:
DSP for pop-up gift bag: cut paper at 4" x 9 1⁄2"
- along 4" side, score at 1" and 3 1⁄2"
- along 9 1⁄2" side, score at 1⁄2", 1”, 4 1⁄2", 5", 5 1⁄2", 9"
To assemble:
- Score your DSP for gift bag – burnish well with bone folder. The two sections of the gift bag scored a 1⁄2" apart will fold in like a real gift bag.
- I have used a retired hole punch to cut my bag handle holes below the 1" score line – to make it easier, you can fold bag over to punch both sides at once.
- I then strung a 5" piece of ribbon through each side, secured the ribbon ends with tape, then used Tear & Tape to adhere the top 1" flap down and over that so the ribbon ends cannot be seen.
- Next, I used Tear & Tape to secure the 1⁄2" side panel over the opposite side 1⁄2" side.
- To adhere my gift bag into my card – I adhered Tear & Tape along the bottom 1⁄2" tabs of my gift bag. Matching paper edges with card centre crease I carefully closed card. When opened the gift bag popped right up.
- I then decorated the front and inside panels with the DSP and my stamped images.
I hope you like my card today and I have inspired you to enter the challenge. You can see more inspiration over on the
