Simple Valentine Bag Card

I found this card in my stash and wanted to share with you!  This is a simple card made from a bag from dollar store.  You take a decorated bag 10 3/4 X 6 3/4 (you can use any bag) fold it at 4 3/4 from the front to the back because of seam and glue it down.  Decorate the folded over piece any way you want.  This one was layered with a piece of Real Red SU card stock stamped with the grunge stamp that looks scattered.  Then the green strip is a retired piece of card stock from SU.. It measures 1 X 5 5/16 and stamped with a paisley stamp retired from SU (anything can be used).Then it was layered with a chipboard heart that was run through the Xyron machine and covered in Dazzling Diamonds.  The saying was stamped from a retired stamp and cut apart.  The other heart small heart is also chipboard and covered with a piece of the bag paper and sponges edges with green ink.  The chipboard tag was done the same way and February 2014 was typed on the computer.  White grosgrain ribbon was tied around the red layer and the chipboard heart was put on with dimensionals. A chain was used to put the chipboard tag on. For the inside a piece of Real Red Card stock was cut at 5 1/2 X 4 3/4 (this gives you enough to cut the tab.  Layered with Whisper White and sponged with Real Red ink.  Holes were punched in tab and 3 pieces of grosgrain ribbon was  knotted in holes.  The Real Red card stock was stamped with the grunge stamp and then layered with sponged white piece.  Great for sending a thank you or pictures to share with someone.

Hope you like and will make you some.  It is so simple and easy and you can make a ton of them for friends and family.  I think it was 12 bags to the bag for $1.00.  Happy Stamping, Johnnie
