I decided to make goodie bags. Every holiday season I have the best intentions of bringing homemade fudge and other goodies to our neighbors, teachers and friends. Since I'm usually swamped with last minute Christmas cards I never get anything else made. Not the case this year!!
Here's how I put this together in under 10 minutes...
Take your main color of cardstock cut to 4 1/4 x 11" and score it at 4" and 6".
Next, I used my eyelet border punch to decorate the left edge.
Then I took one of my accent colors and cut it to 4 1/4" x 2 1/2".Score that one at 2". That part will be the flap that folds over the top and holds it closed.
Last, I took a 1" strip of my other accent color (Cameo Coral) and attached it to the part opposite of the score mark - not photographed.
Then I just decorated with a sentiment from the "Yummy" sale-a-bration set by Stampin Up and some coordinating buttons from my stash. I added a small piece of Velcro to hold it shut.Now, when the holiday season rolls around, all I have to do is whip up a batch of my 5-minute fudge, place it in a clear envelope and attach to the inside!
I know I'm dying to see what the rest of the team did. How about you?
Check out the Christmas Stampin' All Year Long blog and get inspired to play along.

What a great idea to make goodie bags in advance! Hmmmm, I wonder if I could turn this idea into a challenge. Not sure how it'll be received but ahhhh, why not, huh?
I love your goody bags and thanks for the tutorial. I may just need to try it. Love what you did with the colors. . .your bag is perfect for brownies and with the colors you can actually use it for other occasions. . .like Thanksgiving!!
