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 was just getting ready to transition from making fall-themed cards to getting ready for the Christmas holiday. But then, I took Stampin’ Up!’s first online class. (Which, by the way is still available. Get more information by clicking here.)
During this class, Stampin’ Up! designers and creators shared not only four handmade greeting cards, but also lots of helpful tips and tricks. One of the cards inspired today’s creation. I loved the layout and some of the tips and tricks, so I created my own version.
This thankful for you card definitely uses an awesome combination of Stampin’ Up! products, including: The Gathering Moments Stamp Set, the Traditional Labels Dies, and the Beautiful Motifs Dies.
Measurements and Details
Cajun Craze cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
Arranged three stamps from the Gathering Moments Stamp Set on block and stamped the background with Cajun Craze ink. Filled in with other stamps.
Gathering Together 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper: two strips, one measuring 5 1/2 x 3/4 and the other 4 3/4 x 3/4
Traditional Labels Die cut with Early Espresso cardstock. See how the die cut edges allow you to slip the strip of DSP through it?
Die cuts from Beautiful Motifs Dies cut with Gold Foil and Earthen Toned Metallic 12 x 12 Specialty Paper.
Traditional Labels Die cut with Basic Beige cardstock and stamped with sentiment from Gathering Moments Stamp Set.
Traditional Sparkling Sequins
