· Cut a 4 7/16 x 3 5/8” with the solid color ( bottom front)

· Punch two holes on the back side of the(larger cardstock) for ribbon (approx. 8”long). Glue ribbon to the inside so when you attach the bag you will not see it.

· Glue the craft bag to the inside of the card stock. Glue the 4 7/16 x3 5/8” cardstock to the front of the bag.

Welcome to tall & skinny week at the Mojo Monday Blog, this is a fun option to a regular A2 sketch. We hope you have as much fun with tall & skinny week a we do! We can't wait to see what you create!

The first size is 3.5 x 5.5" and fits a regular A2 envelope with a little room left over to let something (like the circle in this sketch) hang off the 3.5" side. You can use either of the following measurements, depending on where you want your fold.

3.5 x 11" cut of cardstock, score long side at 5.5"
5.5 x 7" cut of cardstock, score long side at 3.5"

For a little more skinny, you can try a 3.5 x 6" card to fit a regular No. 6 3/4 envelope (the ones that are about the size of a personal check). Use either of the following measurements, depending on where you want your fold.

3.5 x 12" cut of cardstock, score long side at 6"
