August – September Sale a Bration 2021
Welcome to our New at SU Blog Hop. For the month of August, the theme is Sale a Bration. What is Sale a Bration? Well, it is the biggest Stampin’ Up! promotion of the year. Normally it is from January to March. This year Stampin’ Up tried something different. We have two periods of Sale a Bration. We had one in January and February and this one is August and September. Of course, with it coinciding with the publication of the mini catalogue July December, the SAB brochure has some fun Christmas papers and that is what I will be featuring. I made these cute bags with hanging cards. It is something I learned last year from Ronda Wade. I adjusted the measurements this year to go with my bags. Both bags are made from papers in the SAB brochure coordinating with bundles from the Mini July to December catalogue. All you need is one piece of DSP and a 6 x 2-7/8 of another piece. On one bag I used the Penguin Place DSP which coordinates with the Bundle Penguin Place and the other was made with the Peaceful Prints coordinating with the Peaceful deer.
Starting with a 12 x 12 paper, cut it down to 12 x 10. If your paper has a direction, make sure the direction is sideways when cutting down. Put the 2-inch strip aside for the moment.
Once cut place paper with the 12-inch side along the top and score at 2 – 5-3/4 – 7-3/4 and 11-1/2.
Turn once to the right and score at 2 inches and at 9 inches. While your score board is out, the the 2-inch strip, cut it in half and score each piece at 1/8 and 3/4 .
Burnish all the score lines. With the side you want as the outside of your bag face-up, put tear & tape along the edge of the 1-inch side, remove the backing and fold it down revealing the other side of the beautiful paper.
On the bottom (2-inch) side cut the score lines up to the 2-inch score line. Remove the small tab. Meter the tabs.
Put tear & tape on the front side of the small tab and fold over. Remove backing and fold over the other side, making the first form of our bag.
Add tear & tape to the backside of the tabs. Fold over the large tab from the back to the front and glue the side tabs to it. Fold over the other large tab from front to back and glue in place.
Take each of the 1-inch scored strips, add glue and fold over. Curve them with your fingers or a bone folder. These will be the handles.
Punch two holes in the front and back of the bag and at each end of the handles. Add square brads to hold the handles in place. (note: I colored the brads on the Penguin bag with Freesia Blends)
I used the hanger method to decorate the front to the card. Cut a piece of coordinating card stock at 3-1/4 x 1-1/2. Cut an opening of 2-3/4 x 1/2. I used the smallest rectangle die and lengthened the length of the hole. You could just use you paper cutter. Add glue to the top and sides of the hanger and glue to bag.
For the card, I cut a piece of 2-1/2 x 6 piece of Design series paper and folded it in half. A strip on contrasting DSP of 1 inch by 2-1/2 helped to decorate the front. I punched the deer from the DSP and 2 more from white card stock. Glued all three pieces together to reenforce the deer.
The sentiment is from the Peaceful Deer stamp set, inked in Cherry Cobbler and punched out with the duo ovals punch. The deer and the sentiment are adhered to the card with Dimensionals. I added a piece of white card stock to the inside for signing. A little bow on the deer with bakers’ twine finishes the card. Slide it in the hanger and there you have it.
So you can see the creation of this bag, I made a video.
