thank you snow much

My dear children are in the process of writing their holiday thank you notes to aunts, uncles and dear friends - three individual notes per recipient...I wanted to come up with something clever to house their notes in.

Using Paper Smooches Swanky Snowdudes set, a snowman image was stamped several times onto white cardstock, each colored with Copics then each cut out.  Sentiment is from the Chit Chat set.  The label-style die is from Papertrey Ink.

Using a notebook paper bag I folded down the top two inches, then covered the flap with patterned paper and trimmed. 

A Big Bite tool punched the holes and set the eyelets for the clasp. Fine red burlap string was inserted through one of the punched holes prior to setting the eyelet to hold the string in place.

The notecards for the kids' thank yous are simply white cardstock trimmed to fit the bag, embellished with a strip of Holly Jolly patterned paper and a quote strip from the Holiday Style Word Stickers.  I may add black Enamel Accents (Ranger) to his buttons - we'll see how much time allows...hope you're having a great weekend!
