Today's project is an easy Easter Treat or Gift Bag using Designer Series Paper.
One of my goals is to provide instructions for ideas to use your patterned paper. Last week, we made a simple card design that proved to be very popular. If you haven't tried it, get the details HERE and give it a go!
With Easter being just a couple of weeks away, this little bag will come in handy for you. It's small enough to tuck in a basket and large enough to hold a little gift.
Whether you make these for your own children's or grandchildren's Easter baskets or to share with neighbors and friends, creating your own bags adds a personal touch that can't be matched.
One of the benefits of making your own treat or gift bags is the ability to customize them to your liking. You can choose the colors and patterns, and embellish the bags to suit your personal style and to surprise and delight your little ones.
Let's take a look at the simple how-to so you can gather your supplies and get started!
Making these little bags using a 1/2 sheet of 12 x 12 paper is a great way to make use of your patterned paper. You can even partially assemble these ahead of time and store flat in a drawer or box.
But perhaps the greatest benefit of all is the joy that comes from giving something handmade with love. It shows your children or grandchildren that you care enough to take the time and effort to create something special just for them. And as you see the smiles on their faces, you'll know that your handmade treat or gift bag is a blessing for them and for you!
If you have been crafting for a length of time, I am sure you have some in that stash of supplies! {wink} By using our Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper, you can save valuable time that would otherwise be spent creating complicated backgrounds or adding extra layers to your projects.
Start creating cards using this design as one of your go-to layouts! You will be making beautiful cards for your family and friends.
Today's project is in response to two requests that many of you have submitted recently regarding simple card-making designs and the use of your stacks of patterned paper.
In this week's LIVE, this simple card design was created using designer paper from my stash!
Whether you are a beginning card maker or you've been at this hobby for quite a while, the right paper can make all the difference. And if by some chance you haven't tried Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper yet, then you're missing out!
Here are just a few of the benefits of using Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper for simple card designs:
High-quality paper - Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper is known for its high-quality, thick paper that is perfect for card making.
Coordinating patterns - The Designer Paper collections are designed to coordinate with other Stampin' Up! products, making it easy to create a cohesive and coordinating card design.
Beautiful designs - With a wide range of designs to choose from, you're sure to find the perfect paper to suit your style and the occasion.
Time-saving - Using Designer Series Paper can save you time by eliminating the need for complicated backgrounds or extra layers. You will discover this with the idea shared in the video today.
Let's take a look at the video tutorial and then read on for the "recipe"!
Lisa's Inklings:
Card Stock Base: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. Fold in half at 4 1/4. This will be a landscape-style card.
Card Stock Layer: 3 1/4 x 4 5/8.
Designer Series Paper (patterned paper): 4 strips cut at 3 x 1.
Measure your sentiment or image to determine the size you will need.
Once I started with this easy design, I couldn't stop! I had planned to make a stack of Easter cards and these will be beautiful with that Happy Easter sentiment.
Here are the papers and stamp set used for the cards that were assembled in the LIVE video.
Now that you've read this post and have all the details, create a card using this simple card design with patterned paper and share your photo on our group on Facebook, Ink and Inspirations Stampers.
With Easter less than a month away, you will be seeing some fun projects like this Easter Bunny tent fold treat holder. I really enjoy making these little projects for our granddaughters and little friends.
The Easter Bunny Photopolymer Stamp Set [160272] is precious for these types of projects. Don't let the unavailability of the Bunny Punch keep you from purchasing the stamp set on its own. The bunnies are easy enough to fussy cut and are so much fun to color!
Here's the video followed by some details so that you can make one (or, a bunch) of this little treat!
Featured on this week's LIVE was the Greatest Journey Photopolymer Stamp Set [160588] and this fun fold pocket card. Also in this video is an emboss resist technique blending two colors to give a unique and beautiful look.
Take a look at the how-to in the video below...
