Since transitioning to virtual card classes due to the pandemic, registrants receive a “little something” extra with the kits. This month, an autumn theme bag topper added to a Mosaic Gusseted Cellophane Bag was perfect for the special treat. Even better, the bag topper is quick to make using the Celebration Labels Dies. The dies and Celebration Tidings Stamp Set are available together in the Celebration Tidings Bundle. For an autumn theme, the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Paper is ideal.
Bag Topper Tips:
For creating a bag topper, the Celebration Labels Dies offer a range of sizes so you can create toppers for a variety of bag sizes. Just lay a die across the top of the bag to determine the size needed. After die cutting your designer series paper or cardstock, place the label on your scoring board aligning the notches on the label and score to create the fold line. To seal bag top, use Stampin’ Seal+ on the label and fold across the bag opening. As noted, I used the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper for my project bag toppers. The designer series paper is perfect for an autumn theme bag topper.
For the autumn theme treat bag, a coordinating gift tag is added to the bag topper. Cut one end of a 3-1/4″x 3/4″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using the Banners Pick A Punch. Then, stamp the “just for you” from the Celebration Tidings Stamp Set onto the tag using Early Espresso Classic Stampin’ Pad. Using the Autumn Punch Pack, cut leaves and acorns from the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper. Add the leaves to the tag with glue dots and use a Stampin’ Dimensional on the acorn. Next, add a small bow to the gift tag. To finish, use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the gift tag.
Creating bag toppers using the Celebration Labels Dies is quick and easy! Adding this special touch to a cellophane bag elevates the simplest treat. With upcoming holidays, consider ordering the Celebration Tidings Bundles so you can quickly turn a “little something” into “something special”!

Sep 14, 2020 | 2020-2021 Annual Catalog, 2020-2022 In Colors, Baby, Cards, Uncategorized |
This weekend I was able to attend a baby shower for my daughter-in-law. In another month, we will be welcoming a new granddaughter, Camryn, to the family! The decor for baby Camryn’s room is jungle animals with a focus on zebras (as selected by big sister, Brooklynn). So, the Zany Zebras stamp set created a perfect baby card. The 2020-2022 In-Color Magenta Madness adds a bright background highlighting the zebra. More features of this fun card are below.
Notice the zebra is in a window. Not only is the zebra in the window, it also wobbles. Such fun to create a motion card. I found the card wobbles on Amazon but if you want to keep the zebra stationary, Stampin’ Dimensionals will secure the zebra.
Zany Zebras Baby Card Details:
- Create card base using Thick Whisper White cardstock (4-1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5-1/2″ for a side fold).
- Cut a piece of the Magenta Madness 2020-2022 In-Color Designer Series Paper 4″ x 5-1/4″ and attach to the card front.
- Stamp the zebra onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock (approximately 3″ x 3″) using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. With paper snips, fussy cut the zebra. (while you’re stamping, be sure to stamp a zebra on the envelope too!)
- Select placement area for zebra. Then, use the third largest Layering Circles Die cut a window into the card front.
- Create a frame for the window cut-out by using the second & third largest Layering Circles Dies to cut a piece of Magenta Madness cardstock. Add the frame to the cut-out.
- To showcase the zebra, add a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Magenta Madness cardstock to the card interior. Center the zebra in the frame and adhere with either a card wobble or Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- For the sentiment, add a 1-1/4″ x 3″ strip of Basic Black cardstock to a strip of the Foam Adhesive Sheet. Cut the word “baby” using the Well Written Dies set. Stamp the word “for” onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and use paper snips to cut into a small rectangle around the word. The word for comes from the Well Said Stamp Set. (The dies and stamp set are available as a bundle – saving you 10%).
- Complete the card by adding the sentiment to the lower right area of the card front.
Not only is the Zany Zebras baby card a fun, cheerful card, it is was a fun card to create!
