soup-er paper bag card

Are you ready for some fun challenges?

They begin today over at the Splitcoaststampers site!  It’s time for another Dare To Get Dirty celebration where you can join in the fun and participate in the challenges set forth by the past & present Dirty Dozen gals.  You can check out the challenges here.  I think you need to be a fan club member, though…so if you haven’t joined yet, now’s a great time to do so!

My friend Tracy is one of the hostesses this year and she asked me to make a sample for her.  To find out what her challenge is, you can check out the SCS site.  Here is the project I came up with…a paper bag card!  I have made paper bag books before, but I never thought of making it into a card.  I saw this idea on Mariska’s blog.

I used my Get Well Critters set and a white lunch bag.  I folded the bag in half and stitched the folded edge on my sewing machine.  Then I added some jumbo eyelets and ribbon.

And here’s the inside.  I inserted a packet of chicken soup mix in the pocket to go with the theme.  ;0)
