Kids Lolly Bags

 These are made with the Big Shot & Top Note die. I stamped all over the top note with "Fox & Friends" in real red, tangerine tango, close to cocoa, pacific point, summer sun, green galore & going gray. I stamped some of the images hanging over the edges. After I filled a cellophane bag with lollies, I sealed the bag with a staple & then attached the topper with sticky strip.

The original design for these boxes came from Jackie Topa, I changed the measurements to suit a standard size envelope.
