3. Stamp the floral design in Strawberry Slush ink on white tissue paper. Arrange the tissue paper inside the gift bag.
4. Adhere the Pistachio Pudding 3/8" Ruffled Stretch Trim to the top of the bag.

6. Using the Big Shot and the Window Frames Collection Framelits Die, cut a frame shape from the Pistachio Pudding Cardstock. Set the Pistachio Pudding frame aside.
7. Stamp the "Thanks a bunch" image-once in Strawberry Slush ink and once in Pistachio Pudding ink-on Whisper White Cardstock. Cut out the stamped Pistachio Pudding "Thanks" image and adhere it to the Strawberry Slush stamped image. Cut out the Strawberry Slush stamped image using the Window Frames Collection Framelits Dies. Adhere the "Thanks a bunch" image to the Pistachio Pudding Cardstock frame. Set it aside.
8. Stamp the banner image in Strawberry Slush ink on Whisper White Cardstock. Cut out the banner.
9. Cut a banner shape from the Champagne Glimmer Paper and adhere it to the back of the stamped banner. Adhere the banner to the back of the "Thanks a bunch" tag.

11. Thread the Whisper White Baker's Twine through the hole and tie the tag to the front of the bag.

Happy Stampin'!
