3D Spring Bag from KSCrafts

I used the small 3D Spring Bag die set from KSCrafts for this Easter treat holder:

This KSCrafts die set cuts out this bag and it is free standing but the bottom of this bag has a curved piece. To make this bag I went through printed card stock scraps and found a print for the front of the bag but for the back I used a piece of dotted card stock. I cut out the bag from light blue card stock. All the layering die pieces I used printed card stock. Before I assembled this bag I used liquid glue and added all the layering printed pieces to the light blue base while these pieces were flat which is very easy to do:

You need to cut out the base piece twice - one for the front and back of the bag. Now for the bottom - here is a photo to show this piece cut out:

I have other die sets that cut out the bottoms of treat holders and they also have these little die cut tabs... but even with folding the tabs to the front and back of the piece to help break the fibers in the card stock even using a bone folder does not make these tabs even or to lie flat.... so after I folded them to the front and back for this treat holder I folded them to the inside of the die piece - the way they would be attached to the treat holder for the bottom - and I decided to run them through the die cutting machine. I wanted this piece to be totally flat so I used the two plates for my machine that I use for embossing folders only. Ran this bottom die cut piece through the machine and it pressed all the tabs flat and even:

Using liquid glue I attached the bag front/sides to the bag back piece/sides. On the end tabs of this curved bottom piece I used tear and tape and added liquid glue to the tabs on one side of the bottom and put this into the formed treat holder bag piece. Pressed that in place and then added glue to the other tabs and pressed that onto the bag back. Here is a photo of the bottom of one of the bags:

To curve the bottom die cut piece with the tabs before I added it to the front/back pieces I ran it over my fingers curving it so it would bend easier to the shape of the bag:

This is the smaller Spring Bag and it holds a lot of treats for Easter or would hold a small gift easily. Happy to use more of the printed card stock scraps and the new butterfly embellishments clip onto the top of this bag easily.....
