This 4th edition of Makeover Magic is a Gift Bag or Gift Card Holder for your 2022 Graduate. The original was made for a thank you gift but the size is just right for cash, gift cards, or a little gift.
The makeover version uses the beautiful new Texture Chic 12" X 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper [158808] from the new annual catalog along with the dies from All That Dies [159078] and the sentiment from Celebrating You Cling Stamp Set (English) [158028]. There wasn't one piece of gold foil in my stash so the punched stems are gold embossed to coordinate with the other elements of the bag.
Let's take a look at the video so you can make one today!
Mini Gift Bag or Gift Card Holder for the 2022 Graduate
Lisa's Inklings:
Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper [158808] is cut 6 x 8-1/2.
8-1/2" side is scored at 3,4,7, and 8.
6" side is scored at 1, 4-1/2, 5-1/2.
The 1" will be the bottom of the bag.
Petal Pink Cardstock [146985] is cut 3x 3 to die-cut.
Basic White Cardstock [159276] is cut 4 x 5 for die-cut for sentiment and punched pieces.
A little color was added to the sentiment with a Petal Pink Stampin' Blends Combo Pack [154893].

This may look like a really pretty springtime card made with paper crafting supplies but how about using part of it as an element of a DIY home decór project?
In last week's YouTube Premiere, this was one of our projects featured as a card and then as an element on the popular tiered trays that are so trendy right now.
In the YouTube video, you will see the how-to for this card and then how it's used on a tiered tray with some other elements created with Stampin' Up! supplies. Let's take a look!
Details for the Honeybee Home Card:
Now, if you watched the video above through the end, you saw how the tag element from the card above was used. These tiered trays are so much fun to style and can be changed out for any and every occasion.
It was so much fun putting this piece together. Keep an eye out for elements that you can use for whatever them you wish. Notice the banner created with the Playful Alphabet Dies that are on the Last Chance List and will not be available much longer. These alpha dies are just the right size for projects like this one and for card fronts. These are a steal for the discounted price of $27.20!

Product List
Now that you've read this post, plan your tiered tray display and DIY home decor and shop for the paper crafting supplies that you will need.
Today's project is a makeover of a handmade gift box from a previously recorded video tutorial.
The original project was created and shared a few months ago as a holiday or hostess gift. I love packaging tea towels or kitchen towels with our pretty Stampin' Up! goodies and making the presentation really special. We've all heard of the adage, "presentation is everything", and as paper crafters, we like to think that is most certainly true!
Here is the original project below. Notice the tag on the "makeover" is adhered to the box front rather than hanging from the ribbon wrap as pictured below.
Let's take a look at the video below for the how-to.
Handmade Gift Box
Here are some quick details for this handmade gift box.
Lisa's Inklings:
If you're curious about the towels that are used for these projects, I really love the Pioneer Woman brand towels and I have also used towels from Hobby Lobby and JoAnn Fabrics. You can see another of these towel packaging projects HERE.
If you're ready to create this project yourself, you can find the supplies listed below. If you do not have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I would be honored if you chose to order from me. Each order from my online store allows me to continue to share with you. Thank you for your support of my business.
Now that you've seen how you can make a handmade gift box for a special presentation, visit the online store to get your supplies!
On this rainy Monday in Southeast Texas, here's another project and DIY Calendar with the Brilliant Rainbow Dies [157726] .

We are getting closer and closer to Christmas Day and I have another video for our Countdown to Christmas series with a video featuring my husband, Jackie, gift wrapping with our 12 x 12 patterned paper.
There were a few little gifts that I thought would be really pretty in some of our Christmas-themed patterned paper from our current 2021 Mini Catalog.
Featured here are the Painted Christmas 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper [156292] and Sweet Stockings 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper [156281].
Here's the video so you can see Jackie's process!
Gift Wrapping with 12 x 12 Patterned Paper
If you have some little gifts, try using your 12 x 12 patterned paper to wrap! Use some ribbon to add a soft touch!

Thanks for tuning in for Jackie's gift wrapping with 12 x 12 patterned paper in our 2021 Stampin' Up! Countdown to Christmas series and I'll see you tomorrow with one more quick tip.
Here's another 2021 Stampin' Up! Countdown to Christmas project with a DIY Gift Box. It is my hope that these projects that have been shared this week will make things just a bit easier for you. If you've missed the other projects, you can catch those at these links below:
I don't know about you but many times I am scurrying around looking for a box. Boxes are just too hard to store but these are fun to make and will work for many gifts. This is a great pattern to keep on hand and it is super simple. It is 6" square and 3" deep. You could even fold an adult-size t-shirt to fit inside.
Here's the video then you will want to "dig through" all that 12 x 12 paper that you have been saving ;) to create these!

I hope to be back next Monday and Tuesday with a couple of ideas for you! Thanks for tuning in for the fifth in my series of Stampin' Up! Countdown to Christmas 2021 with this DIY Gift Box.
The next in the series of Stampin' Up! Countdown to Christmas 2021 is a Hot Chocolate Pocket that debuted on my YouTube Premiere this evening. This project could also be used as a gift card or cash holder.
I hope you have been enjoying this series of holiday projects and it has helped solve some crafting needs as we get closer to Christmas.
This is such a fun project and different from most cocoa mix pouches. And, the Nothing's Better Than Photopolymer Stamp Set (English) [152507] and coordinating Love You More Than Dies [152698] can be used at any time of year.
Here's the video in case you missed the premiere!

Happy Wednesday and welcome to our third project in my Stampin' Up! Countdown to Christmas 2021 with the nice size DIY Christmas gift bag!
Our designer (patterned) paper is really beautiful and perfect for making these bags. As soon as I finished this one, our granddaughter, Mia, wanted to fill it with little treasures.
I really should make several of these right now! It never fails that a couple of days before Christmas, I am scurrying around trying to find a bag just this size for a last-minute gift.
Here's the video tutorial so you can see just how easy it is to assemble.

Here is the listing of products seen in the video:
Now that you have all the information to create this bag, look through your designer papers and find pairs that you can use make some, too. I think I'll do the same thing to make a few more because I know that I will need them!
If you've missed the first two countdown projects, here is #1 and here is #2!
I hope you enjoyed the third of my Stampin' Up! 2021 Countdown to Christmas and this DIY Gift Bag and I'll see you tomorrow for my YouTube Premiere at 6 PM Central!
Let's start this Monday and National Cocoa Day off with the first in my series of Stampin' Up! Countdown to Christmas 2021 with a fun and easy cocoa packet!
With these days leading up to the holiday, I wanted to share some easy and fun projects and packaging ideas that you can assemble in minutes. Are you ready?
This one is easy to make and fun to assemble using a white envelope! This is a re-make of a project from WAY back in 2010 and if you want to see the original version, visit my Facebook page to see that video!
For now, here is the current version, so settle in for a few minutes so you can make these, too!

These are so quick, I think I'll make several more and I sure hope that you can use this idea!

We are on the road today but I had to share our last in the series of 2021 Stampin' Up! Thanksgiving Table Favors and Napkin Folds. This envelope fold is my favorite and I love how this combo complimented my china pattern, Castle Garden by Lennox. I chose it over 46 years ago and I still love it! Such a classic, don't you think?
Here's a look at today's video...
