CLEVER CATS GIFT BAG TUTORIAL with SEASONAL LABELS DIES - Stampin' Up!



Hi Friends!
My project today is a Gift Bag that measures  4  x  3 3/8  x  1 1/2".  I used the Clever Cats stamp set, Seasonal Labels dies, Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper, Black Glitter Paper, Banners Pick a Punch and Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon.  This box will fits a bunch of treats and trinkets!




I started with a piece of Basic Black Cardstock sized  10 1/4  x  5 1/2".
I scored the  10 1/4" side at:
1 1/2,  4 7/8,  6 3/8  and  9 3/4".
I scored the 5 1/2" side at:
1 1/2".
To cut and put the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.
Below is a picture of how your Cardstock should look after scoring and cutting.


I used the Seasonal Labels dies to cut 2 handles for the box.  I cut the 2 smallest of the same shape dies together from Basic Black Cardstock with the smallest die pushed to the bottom of the largest die.
I glued the bottom half of the die cuts to the inside of the front and back of the box with Liquid Glue.


I attached 4 pieces of Cute Halloween Designer Series paper to the box.
(2)  3  x  3 3/4"  for the front and back.
(2)  1 1/4  x  3 3/4"  for the sides.
I attached the DSP to the box with Liquid Glue.
I attached a pieces of Cute Halloween Designer Series paper sized  3  x  2 1/4"  to a piece of Basic Black Cardstock sized 3 1/4  x  2 1/2" with Liquid Glue.
I attached both pieces to the front of the box with Liquid Glue also.


I stamped the pumpkin outline from Clever Cats stamp set onto Basic White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I stamped the inside of the Pumpkin with Pumpkin Pie Ink.  I colored the edges of the pumpkin with a Light Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blend.
I stamped the cat peeking out of the pumpkin with Tuxedo Black Ink.  I colored the cat's eyes with a Light Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blend.  I fussy cu the image out by hand.


I cut a spider web from Black Glitter Paper using the Frightful Tag dies.  I put a dab of Liquid Glue in the middle and attached the web to the top left side of the polka dotted DSP.
I attached the pumpkin with cat to the lower right side of the DSP with Dimensionals.


I cut a strip of Granny Apple Green Cardstock to 1/2" high.  I cut one end into a point using the Banners Pick a Punch.
I stamped the sentiment from Clever Cats stamp set onto the strip with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I cut the strip down just to the left of the sentiment.
I added the sentiment to the box, on top of the spider web, with Dimensionals.
For the final touch I tied Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon around the right side of the front handle of the bag.
