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.

I love the black, gold, and white color scheme of Stampin’ Up!’s Modern Christmas Suite Collection. It’s just so elegant and stunning. However, I realize that many people prefer the traditional holiday colors of red and green. So, I created a card sporting a traditional theme.
