Easter treat bag idea using Celebration Duo Embossing Folder

Posted on March 22, 2017March 27, 2017 by Josee

Hello! Before I show you today's Easter treat bag idea, I have some good news and some not so good news…the not so good news, ok, the bad news is that the 6"x6" Glimmer Paper Pack is no longer available as a Sale-A-Bration freebie! It is sold out! 🙁 (In case you missed it, the Card Tin is also sold out) The good news is that some new items have been made available as freebies for the last weeks of Sale-A-Bration! Here they are:

That means with every $60 you spend (before taxes and shipping) you get to choose one of these products for FREE! Or choose one of the many other Sale-A-Bration products. Check out those out here.

Now, onto today's project, which is a very easy to make Easter treat bag. Yes, another one! In case you missed it, I posted this one yesterday. I used the Celebrations Duo Textured Impressions Embossing Folders from Stampin' Up's 2017 Occasions Catalogue to decorate this treat bag.

How To Make This Easter Treat Bag:

I took a strip of Sweet Sugarplum cardstock and ran it through the Big Shot in the 'Happy' Celebrations Duo Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Once the cardstock was embossed, I rounded the corners of the cardstock strip with the Project Life Corner Punch.

Then, I took the White Craft Ink and the paint splatter stamp from the Happy Celebrations stamp set and stamped over the debossed word.

With the Black Stampin' Write Marker, I inked up only the word Easter from the Easter stamp in the Suite Sentiments stamp set and stamped it below the word happy so that it would read 'Happy Easter'.

A few Pearls Basics Jewels were added to the corners.

With a few pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive, I added a Delicate White Doily to a Kraft Tag A Bag Gift Bag and then added a circle of Gold Metallic Thread on top. Then the greeting strip was adhered on top to hold the thread in place.

Now, just fill the bag with some treats (or whatever gift you want to give) and staple the bag closed or just use a bit of glue or adhesive to keep the bag closed.

Easter treat bag using Bold Butterfly Framelits and Suite Sentiments stamp set

Posted on March 21, 2017March 27, 2017 by Josee

Hello! I've got a super easy Easter treat bag to show you today! To make this Easter treat bag I used the Bold Butterfly Framelits and the Kraft Tag A Bag Gift Bags from Stampin' Up's Annual Catalogue as well as the Suite Sentiments stamp set from Stampin' Up's 2017 Occasions Catalogue. I hope today's project inspires you to get creative with your gift bags!

How To Make This Easter Treat Bag:

To make this Easter treat bag, start with a Kraft Tag a Bag Gift Bag and choose a shaped framelit or thinlit- I chose to use the Bold Butterfly Framelits to cut a butterfly shape. I ran the bag through the Big Shot allowing the die to cut through both sides of the bag for a peek-a-boo window.

Then I worked on the bag topper- I used the Banner Framelits to cut Soft Sky and Whisper White cardstock in layering sizes and then scored both die cuts in the middle to help fold them over the top of the bag.

On the Whisper White banner tag I stamped the flowers from the Falling Flowers stamp set in Blushing Bride ink and then stamped the Easter greeting from the Suite Sentiments stamp set in Tuxedo Black ink.

I added some mini chocolate eggs to a Gusseted Cellophane Bag and placed it inside the die cut paper bag, so the eggs would peek-a-boo through the Butterfly shape. I folded over the top of the bags and placed the folded banner tags on top, added a string of Blushing Bride Sequin Trim and used the Handheld Stapler to hold everything in place.

Now, if the chocolate eggs don't get eaten before Easter, I will have an Easter treat bag ready to go! 😉
