- 3" x 4-1/4" from Very Vanilla Cardstock

Pick out a Soft Succulent bag from the Ombre Gift Bags.
Mount the splotch image from the Nature's Harvest Set on Block H.Ink it up with the Soft Succulent Ink Pad. Stamp it randomly all over the front of the gift bag, stamping off sometimes before stamping. Let some of the images go off the edges.
Mount the coneflowers/echinacea image from the Nature's Harvest Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Saddle Brown StazOn Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the vanilla rectangle.
Pick out the matching, coneflowers/echinacea die from the Harvest Dies. Put it on top of the stamped flowers on the vanilla cardstock on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the flowers. Run through the machine.
Squeeze the lid of the Bumblebee Ink Pad to get ink in the lid. Use a Blender Pen to pick up ink from the pad lid and color in the flower petals. Remember to stroke in one direction only or the cardstock will tear and pill up. Scribble on Grid Paper when you are done until no more color is coming off the Blender Pen.
Squeeze the lid of the Soft Succulent Ink Pad to get ink in the lid. Use a Blender Pen to pick up ink from the pad lid and color in the stems and leaves. Remember to stroke in one direction only or the cardstock will tear and pill up. Scribble on Grid Paper when you are done until no more color is coming off the Blender Pen.
Squeeze the lid of the Cajun Craze Ink Pad to get ink in the lid. Use a Blender Pen to pick up ink from the pad lid and color in the flower cones and the under petals of the smaller flower. Remember to stroke in one direction only or the cardstock will tear and pill up. Scribble on Grid Paper when you are done until no more color is coming off the Blender Pen.
Squeeze the lid of the Misty Moonlight Ink Pad to get ink in the lid. Use a Blender Pen to pick up ink from the pad lid and color in the outlines around the image. Remember to stroke in one direction only or the cardstock will tear and pill up. Scribble on Grid Paper when you are done until no more color is coming off the Blender Pen.
Use the brush tip of the Bumblebee and Soft Succulent Markers to color in any gaps and add darker areas to the petals, leaves, and stems.
Pick out the long, skinny, set of three grass stems die from the Harvest Dies. Put it on top of the Soft Succulent rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Unlock the Delightful Tag Topper Punch. Slide one short edge of the Misty Moonlight rectangle into the punch as far as it will go. Punch.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the grass stems cut out to the tag at a slight angle so the tops of the grass go off the left top edge of the tag as shown. Be careful to put glue only on the bottoms of the stems.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the colored coneflowers/echinacea cut out to the tag at a slight angle so the top and right flower stick out over the upper right side of the tag a bit as shown. Be careful to put adhesive only where it will come in contact with the tag.
Adhere the rectangle of Harvest Meadow Designer Paper to the bottom of the tag so it covers the bottoms of the stems.
Mount the "thank you" sentiment from the Nature's Harvest Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Cajun Craze Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Bumblebee strip.
Pick out the small label die from the Harvest Dies. Put it on top of the stamped sentiment rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the sentiment is centered in the die. Run through the machine.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment label cut out to the tag so it is centered over the seam between the designer paper and the rest of the tag.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up one small gold dot from the sheet of Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the lower right corner of the tag.
Cut a 6" piece of the gold trim from the Simply Elegant Trim.
Fold the trim in half. Poke the folded end of the trim through the hole in the top of the tag and pull it through a bit. Feed the loose ends of the trim through the loop at the end of the trim and pull to tighten.
Fill the gift bag with treats. Fold the top of the gift bag over towards the back of the bag and crease in place.
Cut a length of the Bumblebee 1/4" Gingham Ribbon long enough to wrap around the top of the bag and tie in place.
Wrap the ribbon around the top of the filled bag and secure with a half knot near the left side of the bag. Slide one end of the loose trim at the top of the tag under the ribbon. Tie in place with a knot. Finish tying the ribbon in place with a knot. Trim off excess trim and ribbon.
