I wanted to share these cute little gift bags for Halloween. This is a sneak peak a the new holiday catalog. This little bag can be changed to fit any holiday or occasion. I made these for our monthly demonstrator swap! They were a hit. I put a small Hershey bar in them.






Do you love the thick twine? The holiday catalog is FULL of incredible stuff. If you need a copy, just let me know.





These are pretty quick and easy to whip up.

Here's how to make them:

Simple Bag:

1. 6 x 6 card stock or Designer Series Paper
2. Scored at 1 inch on 2 sides, turn paper and score at 2 ½ and  3 ½
3. Cut on 1 inch scored side to scored mark, apply adhesive to 2 small flaps and 2 longer flaps
4. Make sure squared off when a folding up sides, then squeeze top together, I  put folded circle  form 2 1/2/ circle punch on top. 

I have been playing with the new Something for Baby stamp set and Framelit, and .I  came up with this super cute gift bag. I wanted to use the new Polka Dot Tag a bag and for some reason to me, baby and polka dots go together.

I wanted to share this cute little giftie I gave out to my class last week. These little bags have Zinnia seeds from my garden last year.  This  tag is made stamp from the Tag It stamp set. Every year Stampin' Up designates a stamp set and donates $3 to Ronald McDonald House Charities for every stamp set sold. I have really enjoyed this adorable set.





Zinnia seeds grow fast and are really pretty.  I included a little tag (made with the Angled Tag Topper Punch) about Zinnias. I stamped the flower from Fabulous Florets, because it really looks like a Zinnia to me.









.I think everyone loves homemade gifts, it's really sometimes the simple things that make all the difference.   I thought they turned out real cute

I wanted to share this adorable little Owl gift bag I made. I just love him!! You know when your making something and you just wanna squeal, well that's how this was for me!! The base of the Owl is made using the Top Note Die and the eyes are made using different circle punches. (see tutorial at the bottom) And I think this little gift bag would make anyone happy!!






Is he sooo cute?? Part of the tag is a sneak-peak of a new stamp set out of the catalog coming out in June! I thought the 'woo-hoo' was perfect!!






Do you love his little hair feathers, cut with the Fringe Scissors!  LOVE THAT!!




 Guess whooo's looking at you ??  ha-ha!!


So here's how made this little guy:









Have a great day!!
