I loooooove the Mini Treat Bag Framelits Dies. These little bags are so versatile. You can put so many different things in them: cards, cookies, candies, small toys and gifts,… And since you can use any Designer Series Paper, they are perfect for any occasion.
This was one of the Make & Takes at our December Stamp Club meeting.
We started by using the Mini Treat Bag Framelits to cut the bag from Merry Moments DSP and assembling it with glue. We cut the bow from Real Red card stock using the bow die included in the set.
We used Stampin’ Write Markers in Real Red, Crumb Cake, and Mossy Meadow to color the stamp from the Cup of Cheer stamp set. We huffed to reactivate the ink, then stamped on Whisper White card stock. We cut it with the 2-1/2″ Circle Punch and adhered it to the bag.
We cut two leaves with the Leaflets Framelits Dies, then used the 1″ Circle Punch to cut around the edges so they would look like holly leaves. We drew veins on the leaves with the Mossy Meadow marker.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s November Blog Hop! Today’s hop is filled with inspiring projects that share the gratefulness of the season. Whether you are ready to celebrate Thanksgiving this week or just feel reflective of the things that make you thankful, we are sure you’ll find great inspiration from our talented team members. After you read my post, I hope you’ll continue along the list at the base of this post.
How better to show your gratitude than with a gift? And what better way to present that gift than in a custom decorated gift bag?
The Petite Cafe Bags are perfect for so many things, including food items, and the roll down top prevents spilling. And it’s the only part of this project that wasn’t a scrap!
I cut a scrap of Into The Woods Designer Series Paper to 3″ x 7″ and another one to 1-1/4″ x 7″. I cut the notch in the end of the slender piece with the Banner Triple Punch. I adhered these two pieces to the bag with Fast Fuse. I cut a couple more scraps of the DSP with the 2″ Circle Punch.
On a scrap of Whisper White card stock, I stamped the sentiment from the A Little Something stamp set, coloring the stamp with Stampin’ Write Markers in Soft Suede, Early Espresso, Tangelo Twist, and Mossy Meadow (all colors in the paper.) Then I cut it with the 2″ Circle Punch.
I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere all the 2″ circles.
A piece of Into The Woods 3/8″ Cotton Ribbon tied around the top completes the look.
Super duper quick and easy!

Here’s this week’s CanYouCaseIt.com (CYCI) sketch challenge…
…and here’s my project.
Talk about quick and easy! This little bag took just a few minutes to decorate.
I heat embossed the leaves from the Lighthearted Leaves stamp set in white on Kraft card stock, then cut them out with the Leaflets Framelits Dies. You could also heat emboss them directly onto the bag.
I stamped the sentiment in Crumb Cake on a thin strip Whisper White card stock – easy to do since you can see right through the stamps – then notched the ends with the Banner Triple Punch. You could also use the 1″ Square Punch to cut uniform notches. Or you could just use your paper snips if you’re very good at getting things even, or if you don’t care that they aren’t.
Then it was just a matter of adhering the leaves (I used glue,) the sentiment (Stampin’ Dimensionals,) and Rich Razzleberry Candy Dots (self adhesive.)
I slipped a piece of Rich Razzleberry card stock into the bag for the photo, but you can insert a card or small treats. It’s perfect for Thanksgiving cards and gifts. Maybe put one at each place setting on Thanksgiving Day.

Need a gift bag super fast? No problem! Just grab your Gift Bag Punch Board and a piece of paper, and a minute later you’ll have one.
Now, need a tag for that bag? Get the Oh What Fun Tag Project Kit. I love having these tags on hand to put on those last minute gifts. The kit makes 30 tags, 3 each of 10 different designs, and they are so fun!
Here are just some of the items that come in the kit.
The Oh What Fun stamp set coordinates beautifully with the kit.
Spend a relaxing hour or two with this kit and stamp set, and you’ll have these great tags on hand whenever you need them.
Or better yet, invite some friends over, and if you’re in the Atlanta area, I’ll bring my stamps and inks, so you can each make 30 tags while enjoying time with friends and family. Email me (candy@stampcandy.net) so we can find a date that works for you! You can even earn Stampin’ Rewards as host!
If you aren’t local, have each person order their own kit, and split the cost of the stamp set and any other supplies you need. Ask me how to use a Hostess Code for your gathering so you can get free products!
The tag I used today has a jingle bell. How festive is that? I tied it onto a Mint Macaron gift bag that I made with, you guessed it, the Gift Bag Punch Board.

During the holidays, or anytime really, it’s nice to have some little treat bags handy for impromptu gifts. Here’s a simple one that anyone will enjoy receiving…full of little goodies, of course. All these products are in the annual catalog, so you don’t have to wait for the new Holiday catalog to get started!
I used the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits to cut the bag from Merry Moments Designer Series Paper (DSP.) The Lots of Joy stamp set and the Tree Punch add the decor for the front of the bag. The plaid tree is adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and the Baker’s Twine bow with a Mini Glue Dot. The Crumb Cake sentiment and Real Red ornament are stamped directly onto the Whisper White card stock.
I used Fringe Scissors to cut the edge of some gift wrap tissue, then tucked it into the bag.
