Die Cuttin' Divas Ribbons or Bows Challenge

I can hardly believe that it is March tomorrow! Do you know in a couple weeks we are back to daylight savings time again?

So looking forward to Spring this year. Bring it on!


It is Tuesday again and time for a new challenge over at Die Cuttin' Divas.

This week our challenge is "Ribbons or Bows".

For my project I decided to create little bags to hold a treat in them for my granddaughters class for St. Patricks Day.

I chose a cut file from Silhouette called Shamrock Bag which you can purchase here.

I made 35 of these little bags!

I filled them with, you guessed it, foil covered chocolate coins. Perfect candy treat for St. Patricks Day, right?

Supplies used: Card stock - 2 shades of green; pattern paper from the Emerald collection by Authentique: cut file from the Silhouette Store
