Gift Bag

I made this for a friend's birthday gift and am entering it in the following challenges: StampTV Monthly Mix - Anything other than a card; Scor-Pal More than one Score #53 - Fall/Harvest/Halloween; Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything But a Card.

I started with a 12" x 12" piece of cream coloured cardstock and stamped the leaves randomly. 

To create the bag - Using your Scor-Pal, score at 2", 5 1/2", 7 1/2" and 11". Turn it a quarter turn and score at 1" and 10". Fold along all the score lines. With the 1" and 10" score lines at the top and bottom, cut from the bottom up to the 10" line along the four vertical score lines. Along the right hand side, cut off the bottom and top sections. Along the top, cut off the left 3 sections, leaving one section intact. Round off the corners of this top section. You should have something that looks like this (I forgot to round off the corners before I took the picture):

Put Scor-Tape along the tab at the right and make the square bag. Fold up the bottom tabs and tape together. Pinch the top sides together and fold the top flap over. Using a hole punch, punch two holes near the top, thread the twine through and form a bow.

To finish it off, I added a sentiment on a scalloped circle matted with a larger circle.

I used the following supplies:
