Stampin' Up! Sweet Strawberry Gift Bag and handmade Card

Welcome back today for a little more

Sweet Strawberry inspiration!

I love to co-ordinate my cards to my gift packaging

its always very well received by the recipient! the

recipient here being my Sister and my childrens

Godmother, we had Mothers Day here in the UK

last Sunday and we always spoil her well my children do

I just make a card and pretty packaging! heheh!

I love the Stampin' Up! Playful Alphabet dies,

Their perfect if you like me love

to personalise your makes!

For the card I die cut the 'Aunty' in Poppy Parade cardstock,

and then Stamped the 'To an Incredible'

carefully from the Hydrangea Haven Stamp set,

as it stamps really to say 'To an Incredible Woman'

I just carefully inked it up so the

Woman didn't stamp! it turned out perfectly!

I also made this cute Gift Bag,

I was recently gifted a gift in a handmade gift bag

using 12x12 DSP, and set to creating my own,

The bag is a great size measuring 8" x 8"

the gusset / thickness of the bag is almost 5"

so its a great sized bag!

I stamped the strawberries

randomly on a Basic White Cardstock,

I used Poppy Parade and Old Olive ink pads to stamp

the strawberries..

I didnt love how stark the White background looked

so flicked ink using my Poppy Parade Stampin' Blend

all over and love the finished effect it gave, it was

just what it needed ..

I made the tags to match and used the

Stampin' Up!Playful Alphabet dies again to die

cut the Aunty this time in Basic White cardstock

on Poppy Parade Cardstock

My sister loved her Card, Gift bag and her gift!

Gift Bag Box project Tutorial

I'm so excited to share with you today a video tutorial

sharing how I made the gift bag box that I shared the

other day, you can see the post HERE

Featuring Stampin' Up! products

This gift bag box is a really great size and I originally

made it to hold The Body Shop hand wash and hand lotion

inside there is a tray to hold them in place. see below,

Heres the video Tutorial

The bag box uses 2 sheets of 12x12 cardstock,

plus Designer Series Paper

I've made these ones for my daughters school teachers.

I purchased the gifts, and then set to making something

to gift them in and this is how this came about,

It definitely holds lots more as the one I made

for my dad held a bottle of aftershave, 2 bars of chocolate

and a pair of socks!

Measurements

In both metric and Imperial

2 x 12x12 cardstock both trimmed down to

23cm x 30.3cm

OR (9" x 11 7/8th")

scored landscape @ 7.8cm, 22.cm and 28.8cm

scored portrait @ 14.2cm and 22cm

OR

scored landscape @ 3", 8 1/8th", 11 1/4"

Scored portrait @ 5 5/8th" and 8 5/8th")

Designer Series papers

2 x 13.7cm x 14.5cm (5 3/4" x 5 3/8th")

2 x 7.2cm x 14.5cm (2 3/4" x 5 3/4th")

-----------

Inner Tray ( if required)

22cm x 15.5cm score on all 4 sides at 4cm

8 5/8th x 6" scored on all 4 sides at 1 1/2"

die cut required size circles to middle area

prior to assembling

To decide on circle sizes I fitted them over the hand wash

and hand lotion.

This picture should help show you how i made the inner

tray and I just popped it inside, it isnt fixed.
