- Use the Suite Season Specialty Washi Tape in the polka dot print over each of the gold stripes on your bag. Just cut the ends with your paper snips and rub your finger over the tape to the ends of the bag to make sure it sticks well.
- Stamp your To: From: sentiment in the middle of your Whisper White tag.

- Die cut both bows on the window sheet and one of each of the bows from the Gold Glimmer Paper. Then, attach the small window sheet bow (stamped side up) to the small glimmer paper blow using glue dots. The glue dots will be invisible. Do the same for the bigger bow. Attach the small bow to the bigger bow with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
- Attach the bow combo to the top of the tag with Stampin’ Dimensionals and attach the tag to your 3D Gift Bag.
