Gift Bags for Fall

I love to take a small gift when I am invited to dinner, lunch, a small gathering to the host. It could be teas, coffee, chocolates depending on what the event is or who the host is.  When I take these gifts, I like to put them in a gift bag.  I used to only make my gift bags in a pinch when I did not have time to run to the store and pick a gift bag up.  Now I make them ahead and have them on hand.  I make them for all occasions, Birthdays, Christmas and host gifts.  Today I am using A Cozy Fall Harvest with a few tags from the At Home Fall Harvest digital paper collections for the Fall and Thanksgiving season. 

Other supplies:
Cropadile
Gold wide tip Sharpie
Adhesive
Bags
Ribbon

Twine

 

First, I fussy cut flowers, leaves from the A Cozy Fall Harvest and tags from the At Home Fall Harvest. 

Then I created tags for each of the bags with the fussy flowers, leaves and tags.  Using a cropadile punch a hole for the twine used to hang the tag from the handle of the bag!

You can recycle any for this project, I am covering the logos on them. If I would like specific colors I may pick up a package of small bags a the dollar store.  

I printed panels to adhere to the front of the bags and the tags coordinated with the panels. The gnome panel has a gnome tag.

The fox panel has a fox tag. The papers for the panels were digitally reduced in size to fit the bags. 

The sunflowers have a sunflower tag. Each tag has twine 

The pumpkins have a pumpkin tag. This panel also has a large mat as it will go on a larger bag. 

 

                      

                            

I will add a little tissue and a big bow. I wait to put the big bow on the bag until I am ready to use it for easy storage.  I cannot tell you the last time I bought gift wrap, except for tissue paper. 

Hope you enjoyed these gift bags.

With a water brush paint the ice (light blue) and the background (white). The mica paints will have a beautiful shine when the tag is moved. Let the paints dry.  I don't use a heat to dry the watercolors as it may affect the embossed ink image. 

Die cut the watercolored stamped image and the teal paper tag. Adhere the image on the tag. Cut a mat from the teal paper for "Season's Greetings".  Mount the sentiment with dimensional foam. 

Add ribbons and embellish with gems!!!  Now you are ready to dress up any bag, even a brown bag!!!  Don' wait until the last minute, have a few on hand JUST IN CASE!

Today I have a bag using the Color Me Perfect Art Doll stamp collection and Bedazzled Diamonds Stencil, both created by Pam Bray.

Create Your Own Quick and Easy Stenciled Gift Bag

 Today I am excited to share this quick and easy gift bag I created that would be perfect for any holiday gift!  This project was so fun to create and would be easy to create several for your gifting needs.

 To recreate this gift bag you will need the following:

Blank Page Muse Supplies 

Penguins on Ice Winter Holiday Rubber Stamp Sheet

The Crafter's Workshop 6005 Slimline Layered Christmas Tree Truck Stencil

Other Supplies: White Gift Bag,  distress Inks, archival inks, low tack painters tape

Start by securing your gift bag to your work surface with low tack painter's tape.  Notice that your The Crafter's Workshop 6005 Slimline Layered Christmas Tree Truck Stencil has 3 different layers on your stencil.  One for each color of ink you will be using. 

Add black or brown ink over the bottom layer of your stencil. 

Carefully lift stencil to reveal your first layer of your truck.  Carefully clean both sides of your stencil before you start the next layer. 

Using the alignment marks, layer the section portion of the stencil over your bottom layer. 

Add your ink to color your truck.  This is perfect because you can customize your truck colors. 

Look how pretty the truck looks!  

After cleaning your stencil to prevent accidental ink transfer, layer the top layer of your stencil over image.

Add green distress inks to color your tree.

Look how pretty the finished image is!  

Using your greeting from Penguins on Ice Winter Holiday Rubber Stamp Sheet stamp your holiday greeting onto your bag! 

Carefully remove your tape and your bag is ready to be filled with your gift!

I hope you are inspired to get creative with your stamps and papers from Blank Page Muse and I Brake For Stamps.  Don't forget to use my discount code BPMChris.

You Octopi My Heart

I just love making little candy envelopes!

 I found the template by searching online for printable candy boxes.
 Not only is this perfect for candy but will work for little toys and other small gifts. 

Rubber stamps used:

Midnight Collection Creepy Cute Sea Stamp set by Dead Sea Toons This set is so cute

Day of the Dead Sugar Skulls and Scared Heart Stamps set by Donna Gray I used the heart from these set

Additional items needed:

• Imagination
• Scissors
• Alcohol markers 
• ink- Palette, hybrid acid free
• Cardstock
• Craft Foam
• Beacon's Craft glue 3 in 1
• Washi tape

So for this project I really just wanted to play with the heart. I'm still new to stamping so I don't have lots of hearts to choose from. I used some washi tape to block around the stamp.
It kind of worked, maybe.... It really didn't matter since I was going to be cutting it out later. ☺

 Pro tip Keep a wet paper towel at your desk when stamping

 to clean the ink off before it dries. 

I glued my stamped paper to craft foam and then trimmed away the excess.

Now is the time to add the washi tape to your candy envelope. Then grab your Beacon's craft glue 3 in 1 (or any glue that works with foam and paper) Glue everything in place and your done!

Hope you enjoyed my little candy envelopes. 

If you have any questions feel free to message Lasheet and if you choose to make your candy envelopes tag her and Blank Page Muse. 

Thank you, happy crafting!! ♥
