KANGAROO and COMPANY MOTHER'S DAY GIFT BAG TUTORIAL with PANSY PETALS DESIGNER SERIES PAPER - Stampin' Up!



Hi Friends! I made a project today for Mother's Day coming up next month. It is a Gift Bag I made with Kangaroo and Company stamp set, Kangaroo dies, Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper and the Layering Ovals dies. This bag measures 4 3/4 x 3 x 1". This pretty Kangaroo Gift Bag can be used for lots of other occasions too.



I started with a piece of Polished Pink Cardstock sized  9 x 7".
.
I scored the 9" side at:
1/2,  3 1/2,  4 3/4  and  7 3/4".
I scored the 7" side at:
1 1/4  and  6".
I turned the paper BACK to the 9" side at scored ONLY to the 2nd scoreline at:
 4 1/8  and  8 3/8".
to cut and put the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.


I attached a few pieces of the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper to the box in sizes:
(2)  4 1/2  x  2 3/4"
(1)  3/4  x  2 3/4"
I attached them to the front, back and front flap with Liquid Glue.


I punch 2 holes in the center of the front flap with a 1/8" circle punch.
I closed the flap and made pencil marks through the holes onto the body of the bag.
Then I opened the flap and punched 2 holes where the marks were.
I put my gift inside (gift certificate, gift card, jewelry of other small gift) and ran Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon through the holes and tied a bow in the front.


I cut an oval from Soft Seafoam Cardstock and a Scalloped Oval from Soft Succulent Cardstock using the Layering Oval dies (retiring soon).
I attached them together and then to the front of the box, under the flap, with Liquid Glue.
I stamped the large Kangaroo, 1 flower bouquets, 1 extra flower from the flower bouquet and butterfly, from Kangaroo and Company stamp set,  with Tuxedo Black Ink onto Basic White Cardstock.
I colored the images with Stampin' Blends:
 the Kangaroo with Light and Dark Crumb Cake.
I colored the Flowers with Light Polished Pink and Light Fresh Freesia.
I colored the leaves with Light and Dark Soft Succulent.
I colored the butterfly with Light and Dark Daffodil Delight.
I cut the images out with the Kangaroo dies and the extra flower by hand.


I attached the Kangaroo to the Soft Seafoam oval with Dimensionals.
I attached the flower bouquet with Dimensionals on the left side and Liquid Glue on the right.
I attached the butterfly to Oval and the single flower to the Kangaroo's head with Liquid glue.
I cut a small tag from Soft Seafoam Cardstock with a die from the Hydrangea dies.
I stamped the sentiment from Kangaroo and Company on the tag and attached it to the bow with White Baker's Twine.
For the final touches I added 3 of the 2021-2023 In Color Jewels to the tag and Wink of Stella to the bouquet and butterfly.
