Learn how to make the perfect gift bags

I was cleaning up my craft cupboard the other day and spotted my Gift Bag Punch Board. I realized I haven't created a gift bag for ages so thought it was about time I did so!

I used to make gift bags all the time and have no idea why I haven't done so recently. They are so easy to make and Stampin' Up! has even come out with a video using the Gift Bag Punch Board. Have a look to see how easy they are to create!

 

I decided to make a small gift bag to share with you using Blueberry Bushel card stock as my card base. Then I chose a corresponding pattern and color from the 2018-2020 In Color Designer Paper pack:

In Color 2018–2020 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper
$11.00

 

 

As you know I make a New Year's resolution to use up my accessories before they retire in May so that I have a clear conscience to buy more when the next Annual Catalog comes out in June! The Best Route washi tape uses Blueberry Bushel as one of its colors so I used some strips of it on my gift bag:

Best Route Washi Tape
$5.50

My final choice was to create the word 'wishes' from the Well Written framelits - I love this set of framelits with all the word choices and images. 

Well Written Framelits Dies
$40.00

My last design choice was to create a Mango Melody butterfly to add a fun little touch on my bag. 

The dot on the 'i' is one of the Best Route Enamel Shapes and the bag is held closed using a trip of Blueberry Bushel ribbon. What do you think? Cute, right? 

Why not add the Gift Bag Punch Board to your next product order and begin to make your own gift bags! You can create matching gift card and envelopes for a complete set of gorgeousness!
