These bags are approximately 6" x 3-3/4" x 2-3/4" which makes them perfect for holding larger items and lots and lots of candy! The box can be used without the Holiday design and the Holiday label design can be used on its own as well as an embellishment for a card or layout! The design is compatible with both the 8x12 and 12x12 mats. You can find a tutorial on my blog: http://jamielanedesigns.blogspot.com/2014/12/holiday-gift-boxes.html
