Need a super quick and easy gift bag for a small gift? I have just the thing. I was giving an embossing folder to someone and needed a really quick gift wrap solution.
The folder fit great inside a Kraft Tag a Bag Gift Bag.
I stamped the design from the I Think You’re Great stamp set in Real Red onto Whisper White card stock, then cut around it with my Stampin’ Trimmer.
I stamped the sentiment from the Tag Talk stamp set in Crumb Cake onto Whisper White card stock and cut it with the Label Bracket Punch. I attached the sentiment to the red piece with Stampin’ Dimensionals, which I then glued to the bag.
Voila! Awesome gift wrap in just a few minutes! And it was still nice and flat (no bulky bow to get crushed) so I could sneak it in tucked inside my catalog.
Here’s what I used:

I wanted to make something using the retiring in-colors. I started looking at my Designer Series Papers and settled on English Garden. I contains two of the five colors: Hello Honey and Mossy Meadow.
I used the bee paper design for the card front. The sentiment is from the Garden in Bloom stamp set. I stamped it on Whisper White card stock and cut it with the Decorative Label Punch. I cut a piece of Tangelo Twist card stock (another of the retiring colors) with the same punch, cut it in half, and backed the sentiment with it.
I stamped the bee image in Soft Suede ink onto Tangelo Twist card stock and onto a blank space on the DSP. I fussy cut it’s body with my Paper Snips, then adhered it over the other one with a Stampin’ Dimensional. This made this one “special” bee stand out.
The DSP is matted with Soft Suede card stock, and that’s glued to a Hello Honey card base. This card is note card size (3-1/2″ x 5″) so it would fit in a Mini Treat Bag.
For the bag, I cut more English Garden DSP with the Mini Treat Bag Framelits. I made a belly band with Soft Suede card stock.
I cut Hello Honey and Mossy Meadow card stock pieces with the Butterfly Thinlits Dies and the Bold Butterfly Framelits Dies, adhered them together, then onto the bag. I added a Pearl Basic Jewel as the head. The bag took all of maybe 5 minutes.

Yesterday I shared with you my project for the 3D Dinner & Swap in Salt Lake City. You can see that post here. Today I’m excited to show you some of the amazing projects I received in the swap.
Karen Oster made this sweet little bag containing a bag of Hershey Kisses.
This adorable purse made by Sherri Brown opens up completely. It’s a 12″ x 12″ sheet of Designer Series Paper, scored and folded. She added a Velcro dot to keep it closed.
This sweet Mini Treat Bag made by Brenda Bierens contained a teapot shaped lollipop and some little candies with teapots on the wrappers.
Monika Davis’ little bear box contained a bag of tiny gummy bears. Isn’t it adorable?
Debbie Callon’s cellophane bag is adhered to the inside of the folded card stock.
Diane Squires made this Kraft Tag a Bag folded in half to make an extra pocket. There were chocolates in the back pocket and a card in the front.
Penny Nelson’s little bag contains a tag that is folded on the end so it will pull out a gift card.
Jeanna Kay made this cute little bag and tag using the Going Places suite of products. The star-shaped cookies are the perfect accompaniment.
I wanted to be sure you saw all four sides of Elaine Laycock’s Curvy Keepsake Box, since they’re all decorated differently.
This sweet little shopping bag made by Yvonne Sutton contained earrings made with the Botanical Garden Jewels.

Today I’m sharing the third project we made in the Birthday Bouquet class. You can see the first two here and here.
These sour cream containers are adorable, and they’re super quick and easy to make. We started with a 6″ x 6″ piece of Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper. We put adhesive along the top and bottom edges and along one side edge, then rolled it to make a tube, adhering the sides – I prefer Fast Fuse for this because it’s very strong. We pinched the bottom closed so it was flat.
At this point we put our goodies inside the container, careful not to get them stuck on the adhesive around the inside top edge. Then we pinched the top closed so it was flat and perpendicular to the bottom.
For the tag, we stamped the sentiment from the Honeycomb Happiness stamp set in Watermelon Wonder onto Whisper White card stock, then cut it with the Large Oval Punch. We cut a piece of Mint Macaron card stock with the Scallop Oval Punch, then glued the two pieces together.
We attached the tag and a piece of Watermelon Wonder 1″ Stitched Satin Ribbon with a Bow Paper Clip Embellishment.
Here’s a side view.

My team member Kimberly Laidley had some friends visiting from out of town this weekend. She helped me design some projects for a private class for them. We used the Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper, which has to be one of my favorite DSP sets that Stampin’ Up! has offered. The colors, the patterns, everything about it is just lovely.
Today I’m sharing the Mini Treat Bag from the class. The bag itself is cut with the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits. It has a belly band of Mint Macaron 1″ Lace Trim, which overlaps on the front of the bag so it’s covered by the oval pieces.
The stamped ice cream cone image is from the Honeycomb Happiness stamp set. I stamped it in Soft Suede onto Whisper White Paper, then colored it with Delightful Dijon and Blushing Bride Stampin’ Write Markers. I added a Blushing Bride Honeycomb Embellishment for some dimension.
I cut the stamped piece, and the Mint Macaron mat, with the Ovals Collection Framelits.
Here is a photo of the bag with the matching card inside. Check back to see the card!
