Whale Done Fish Cracker Snack Tag

My demonstrator team leader Colleen Magness made this cute Whale Done fish cracker snack bag topper for one of our Better Your Best Demonstrator Team events quite awhile ago. She made everyone little goodie bags with some projects to make, a stamp set, some embellishments, and some snacks to enjoy during our event. The decoration of the snack bag was such a thoughtful touch! I felt so special!

I had taken pictures of her fish cracker snack decoration and completely forgot to share what an adorable addition this was to our event goodie bags. I was flipping through the photos on my phone and found them. After I shared my s'mores bag topper project on June 13th, I knew Colleen's bag topper would provide you with even more inspiration on how to dress up a snack bag!

I loved how Colleen created an underwater scene with the Whale Done stamp set and how kind it was for her to make our team event that much more special! Plus, the construction of the tag is genius!

The Pretty Peacock cardstock was folded in half and stapled to the top of the fish cracker bag with the staple prongs showing in the front and the smooth side of the staple showing on the back. Then she stamped and adhered the under the sea scene to the Pretty Peacock cardstock, covering the staple prongs. The ribbon was tied onto the tag next followed by the whale cut out and the layered circles.

Talk about a clever way to hide the sharper edges of the staple!

To make the underwater scene, Colleen stamped a piece of Basic White cardstock with the seaweed and coral stamps along the bottom and stamped the school of fish across the top. She then sponged around the outer edges of the Basic White cardstock to create an underwater look to the tag.

Below are the measurements and supplies to make Colleen's fish cracker snack bag topper. Colleen's bag topper used Pretty Peacock cardstock and ink. However, Pretty Peacock is a retired In Color. You could substitute Pacific Point or your favorite blue or blue green cardstock and ink pad. I have substituted Pacific Point in the measurements and the supply list below.
