Gift Bag

What's your presentation when you give a gift?  do you wrap it in paper? or use a gift bag?  The reason I like gift bags is because they're re-usable. Today I'm sharing this gorgeous gift bag I got from my friend Deb Geier.

You can get plain colored bags in just about any store that sells gift wrapping.  Deb stamped on the bottom edge and then decorated the top with a cute Designer Paper banner backed by a doily and held on with a clip. 

Check out this close up of the Designer Paper.  See the shine? This paper is called Affectionately Yours and it has little bits of copper foil built right into the design. Its so pretty and really dresses up the bag.

Here's a few other gift bags from previous posts. Click on the picture to read about those projects

  

Gift bags are easy to make Do you stamp with kids? This would be a great craft for them to decorate a gift bag for their Christmas presents or a friend's Birthday gift. I hope I've inspired you do be creative with your gift wrap. And if you'd like to make this one, here's a complete list of the product Deb used on her bag.  I'm happy to help you get this or any other Stampin'UP! product.

Glassine Gift Bags with Copper Embossing

How do you wrap presents? Traditional box and wrapping paper? 

How about a sweet little hand-decorated gift bag?

I recently made a dozen of these and they went together very quickly. I'm the coordinator of an event and I wanted to give a gift to all the helpers. Stampin'UP! actually sells these little gift bags so it was really easy to put together. 

• Each bag contains a small item as the gift
• I decorated a piece of cardstock
• Folded the bag closed and attached the decoration with a little gold clip. Voila! super easy.

The flowers are my new favorite die: the Botanical Builders dies - I really like all the dimension and texture you get with these dies. And speaking of texture: the base of the card is both texture embossed and heat embossed. I used the same copper embossing powder as on this feather card. I'm LOVING how creamy/metallic it looks.

Sketched Dots Tag a Bag Gift Bag

This is a really pretty gift package for giving small items.

These are Stampin'UP!'s Sketched Dots Tag a Bag Gift Bags. The bags are a translucent "glassine" material with a very subtle and pretty white sketched dot pattern.  Its very classy looking, especially with the sparkly glimmer paper butterfly and the shiny sequin trim.

And SO SIMPLE to put together. 

• I folded the top down,
  wrapped black satin ribbon around the top and secured it with a glue dot.  
• punched the butterfly and decorated it with a pearl
• attached it to a punched scallop circle
• adhered the sequin ribbon to the back
• and stuck it on the front of the bag

Voila!   Click HERE to watch a 5 minute VIDEO showing how I put them together.
All product used is shown in the chart at the end of the post.

The Tag a Bag Gift Bags fit a variety of small items.  Use them for gifts or favors for a shower. What small items can you think of to fit in these bags? Spring isn't far off and a seed packet is always a nice gift.  Cookies? A recipe card and spice pack? Small health and beauty items? Baby Booties? Jewelry?  How would you use them? Leave a comment with what you'd put in these cute bags.
