Listen to the Spirit - Giftbag

This bag was created for my sister Madeline at her confirmation. I sell gift bags with matching tags and cards for all sorts of occasions if you're interested, but since they're all one-of-a-kind, I can't promise I can perfectly duplicate products you see here.
Materials:
  • White gift bag
  • 12x12 sheet Bazzil in Teal
  • 12x12 sheet Bazzil in Royal Purple
  • Jolee's Boutique Winter Angel stickers
  • Jolee's Boutique Crosses stickers
  • Cricut Lite: Inspired Heart and Cricut Machine
  • Tiny Attacher by Tim Holtz
  • Clever Lever scallop circle punch: green and pink sizes
  • Light blue and white raffia
  • Purple sheer ribbon in 5/8" width
  • 4" thin twine, any color
  • Adhesive: tape runner, spray adhesive, pop dots, and low-heat glue gun
Cut the "Listen to the Spirit" sentiment from royal purple cardstock and the shadow from teal cardstock. Adhere together to create the layered look, then adhere to the gift bag. Use spray adhesive for both.  Adhere cross sticker as desired.  Punch a scalloped circle out of royal purple cardstock using pink size and adhere angel sticker to scallop. Apply powder to the back of any bits of the angel sticker that are not adhered to the cardstock. Punch a scalloped circle out of teal. Use the raffia and ribbon to create loops radiating out from the center of the teal scallop and adhere using the tiny attacher.  On the back of the teal scallop, use the tiny attacher to staple the thin time to the back, creating a tie. Use pop-dots to adhere the purple scallop over the teal scallop, so that the loops of raffia and ribbon fan out around the angel but the staples are hidden from view. Use the twine to tie the tag onto the giftbag and voila! Finished.
