It’s that time of year when we’re looking for ways to package those little and/or last-minute gifts. In today’s post, I show you how to create an easy gift bag using plain brown bags, like lunch bags and Stampin’ Up!’s patterned paper. Be sure to watch the video below to see step-by-step instructions.
Measurements and Details
Start with a bag of your choice, such as a lunch bag or other bag from a craft or big box store. Use the Paper Trimmer to adjust the size of the bag. My bag measures 3 1/2 x 7. I trimmed to 3 1/2 x 5.
Choose coordinating card stock. The project featured above used Real Red cardstock. The front piece measures 5 x 3 1/2. The back piece measures 7 x 3 1/2 and is scored at 2 inches.
Decorate bag as desired with sentiments. I used the Jolly Delivery stamp set and the Three Banner Punch with Real Red & White Baker’s Twine.
Here’s a picture of four bags I created with different papers from Stampin’ Up! Which is your favorite? Papers used (left to right): Christmas Tags & More, North Pole Delivery, Modern Christmas, and Traditions of Christmas.

Oh, my gosh, can you just see yourself giving some of these cut treat bags to friends and co-workers and trick-or treaters? These bags easily hold a variety of candy and non-candy treats.

Below, I offer some cutting and scoring directions. Be sure to watch the video to see how this actually comes together.

Score at 3 3/4, 5 3/4, 9 1/2, and 11 1/2 on the 12-inch side. Score at 1 1/4 on each side of the 6-inch side.

It’s not a secret that my favorite patterned-paper-of-the-moment is Stampin’ Up!s Gathering Together 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. I love the foil accents and the rich fall colors. And, I love that I get a chance to use my Cajun Craze card stock.
I made these for a team gathering with different papers and belly bands, adorned with a Gold Foil leaf embossed with the Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder.
I’ve used this Designer Series Paper in a number of projects throughout the last month.

For my monthly in-person classes in my home in Meza, Arizona, I love to give every participant a treat packet. In September, I created this cute Halloween treat packet using Stampin’ Up!’s Nested Essential Dies, the Mini Alphabet Dies, and some Halloween Dies. No stamping here!
The elongated hexagon-shaped dies reminded me of a coffin, so I created a design that allowed me to include a chocolate treat.
Here’s what the treat packet looks like from the side. It fits a Fun-Size candy bar.
Measurements and Details
Here are a few details to help you make this packet at home:
Die cut the largest hexagon shape from the Nested Essentials Dies with Basic Black cardstock.
Use the second largest hexagon shape from the Nested Essentials Dies to cut a shape from the Spooky Sweet 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper (grey pattern)
Die cut letters using the Mini Alphabet Dies. (I recommend using Adhesive Sheets.)
Die cut two bats and one spider from the Spooky Halloween Dies and the Fright Night Dies in Basic Black
I added a Black & Gold Ribbon
The “kickstand” and candy bar hold measures 1 x 8 and is scored at 4 inches and 5 inches. Be sure to watch the video below to see how this treat packet comes together.
