Need a quick little gift bag to give some yummy little goodies in? Today’s project is just that, and it is soooo easy to make! It’s also a sneak peek from the new 2017-2018 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog, for the InKing Royalty May Blog Hop. The new products I used are the Label Me Pretty Bundle (Label Me Pretty stamp set and Pretty Label Punch,) Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper, and 3/8″ Mini Chevron Ribbon in Old Olive, and they will be available to order on June 1!

Cut using the Pretty Label Punch:
Assembled the bag:
- all scored lines folded
- used Paper Snips to cut the short vertical score lines up to the horizontal score line (see diagram below)
- used Paper Snips to cut away the smallest corner rectangle (blue area on diagram)
- applied glue to the outside of the 1/2″ tab and adhered it to the inside of the other end
- folded in four bottom flaps and glued together – I prefer to fold in the back first, then the two sides, and the front flap last.

I like gummy bears. Well, I like gummy worms, so I assume I would like gummy bears. Aren’t all the gummy critters made of the same stuff? I prefer the yellow/orange/red ones (as opposed to the clear/red/green ones) so those are the ones I tried to replicate for today’s card made with the Just Keep Swimming stamp set.

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Real Red card stock (CS) to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
- Pumpkin Pie CS to 3-1/2″ x 3-3/4″
- Daffodil Delight CS to 2-1/4″ x 3-1/2″
- Glassine Sheet to 3-1/2″ x 2-1/2″
- Whisper White CS to 4′ x 5-1/2″ for the inside
Stamped with the Just Keep Swimming stamp set:
- 3 gummy bears in Pumpkin Pie and Real Red onto a scrap of Peekaboo Peach CS – this is a three step stamp, but I used the CS as the base color, and stamped the second stamp in Pumpkin Pie, then the last stamp in Real Red
- sentiment in Pumpkin Pie ink onto the Daffodil Delight CS
Die cut using the Mini Treat Bag Framelits:
- just the top of the little glassine bag
Fussy cut with Paper Snips:
Embossed with Lucky Stars TIEF:

Assembled the card:
- glassine sheet folded into a bag big enough for the gummy bears, 1-1/2″ wide and bottom folded up 1/2″ – you can cut the top with the Mini Treat Bag Framelits either before or after you fold it
- bears adhered to inside of bag with Mini Glue Dots – I opened up the bag, placed the glue dots on the bears’ backs, arranged them face down on the inside front of the bag, then closed the bag, so the bears were adhered to the back part of the bag and the glue dots wouldn’t show
- folded the bag back into shape and sealed it shut in the back with Fast Fuse
- bag adhered to Daffodil Delight CS with Fast Fuse
- Daffodil Delight CS glued onto Pumpkin Pie CS
- Whisper White Organza Ribbon wrapped around front of card base, adhered with Fast Fuse, and tied in a bow
- Pumpkin Pie CS adhered to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals
- Whisper White CS glued to the inside of the card base

Christmas is only 10 days away! Today’s project is another gift you can make for all those people in your life you want to recognize with just a little something. They are snowmen made from Hershey’s Nuggets.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s how I did it:
For the snowmen:
I cut strips of Whisper White card stock to 1″ x 3″. This is the perfect size to wrap around Hershey’s Nuggets.
I left the bottom strip blank.
On the center strip, I stamped buttons from the Snow Place stamp set in Memento Black ink.
On the top strip, I stamped the face using one eye from one of the faces in the Foxy Friends stamp set. I stamped it twice for the eyes, and 5 times for the mouth.
I wrapped the strips around Nuggets.
On a separate piece of Whisper White card stock, I stamped the hats, tie, and scarf from the Snow Friends stamp set in Memento Black, Real Red, and Garden Green inks. Then I cut them out with the Snow Friends Framelits Dies. I glued these pieces to the Nuggets as shown.
For the nose, I used Paper Snips to cut a tiny wedge from a piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock. I glued that onto the face.
For the bags:
I dropped the Nuggets into a 2″ x 6″ Cellophane Bag, and folded over the top.
I cut a piece of Real Red card stock to 2″ x 2″ and scored it at 1″ to fold it in half. I stapled it to the top of the bag. The Handheld Stapler is available only while supplies last!
I stamped the sentiment from the Stitched With Cheer photopolymer stamp set in Garden Green ink onto a 1-7/8″ x 7/8″ piece of Whisper White card stock, then glued it to the Real Red bag top. The Stitched With Cheer stamp set is retiring soon, so get it while you can!
Note: I cut a lot of strips at once, laid them out, and stamped them all. This assemble line method enabled me to make a whole bunch of these in very little time.

Need a cute little gift for someone? This is perfect, and it’s a whole lot easier than you may think. I’ve made and given several of these already. One day I was running late (imagine that!) and made 8 of these in about 15 minutes.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s how I did it:
Cut one piece of Garden Green card stock to 2″ x 10″. Score on the long side at 3-1/4″, 6-1/2″, and 9-3/4″. Score on the short side at 1″. Fold it in half to 1″ x 10″ and glue to keep it closed. Fold all score lines to form a triangle. Glue the 1/2″ area at one end to the inside of the other end.
Cut one piece of Garden Green CS to 2″ x 11″. Score on the long side every 1″ for the full length. Turn a quarter turn and cut to create two 1″ x 11″ strips. Cut one of those strips into two pieces: 4″ and 7″. Fold all three pieces like this: two valleys then two mountains, then repeat to the end of each piece. Insert them into the triangle, the longest at the bottom, the smallest at the top, and the middle one in the middle. Insert one Hershey’s Kiss into each little triangle – 9 pieces. I used the almond ones with gold wrappers, but you can use any color. I think a combination of red, green, and silver would look very festive.
Note: If you want, you can glue all the pieces inside the tree, but the pressure from the kisses and the ribbon keep it together just fine.
Wrap ribbon around the perimeter of the triangle and tie at the top. I like to use a little Fast Fuse to hold it in place. For these examples, I usedReal Red 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon on some, and Cherry Cobbler Ribbon from the Silky Taffeta 3/8″ Ribbon Combo Pack on the others.
Cut one piece of Chocolate Chip CS to 2″ x 5-3/4″. Score on the long side at 1″, 2-3/8″, 3-3/8″, and 4-3/4″. Score on the short side at 1″. Fold in half to 1″ x 5-3/4″ and glue to keep it closed. Fold all score lines to form a rectangle. Glue the two end areas together. Insert two Hershey Nuggets. I used two of the gold wrapped ones from an assorted bag.
Adhere the Chocolate Chip base to the Garden Green tree.

Recently I whipped up this quick and simple gift wrap idea when I gave Bohemian Washi Tape as a gift. It’s simply a Mini Muslin Bag and a tag.
I stamped the sentiment from the You’re So Lovely stamp set on a piece of Very Vanilla card stock, then cut it with the 1-1/2″ Circle Punch. I cut a piece of Bohemian Designer Series Paper with the same punch.
I cut a piece of Delightful Dijon card stock with the 1-3/4″ Scalloped Circle Punch and glued the two smaller circles to either side. I punched a hole with the 1/8″ Circle Punch and tied it onto the bag with a piece of Bermuda Bay Baker’s Twine.
Here’s what I used:
