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.

Add Dimension with a Folded Punched Flower

There are lots of ways to add dimension to a project and here's 1 easy way.  Punch some small flowers and fold them in half to glue to the project.  With only one side of the flower attached to the paper it adds a nice bit of texture.

The flower stem is from a new set called Love and Affection. The reason I chose this set is because the image had a rounded base at the end of each stem so it looked like it wanted a flower of this shape versus a full circle.

Since the stem image was small I needed a tiny flower,
which I got from the Tree Builder Punch.

 

By the way, check-out this post where I used the tree from that punch to make snowman arms.

This is super simple to do and you can use up scraps . . . find some coordinating Designer Paper for a few banners and a scrap of a doily and Voila!, you have a beautiful simple card.

This was one of our June Projects. Check out my events calendar to see what we're doing this month.
