As a paper crafter, do you enjoy making gift bags from patterned paper?  If you have not ventured into creating gift packaging with your crafting supplies, you just might give it a try after seeing how easy it is!  And, talk about a great presentation!  Who wouldn’t love to receive a gift in unique packaging?  That’s half the fun of giving and receiving. 

 The size of this gift bag made with patterned paper is just right for a small gift or a bundle of sweet treats.  You can switch the paper and color scheme and it would be perfect for a baby gift with little onesies or a sleep sack.  For the graduate, this World Of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper [152491 is wonderful...that is,

if it’s still available.  It’s on the Last Chance List and is only available while supplies last.  Here's another project idea made with this beautiful paper.

Here’s a quick video so you can make one (or, more) yourself.

Lisa’s Inklings:

• Patterned paper (World Of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper [152491]) is cut 8 x 12. 
• Score on the long side at 1-3/4, 5-3/4, 7-1/2, 11-1/2. 
• Turn and place  the side of the patterned paper that will be the bottom of bag at the left. Score at 1-3/4 for bag bottom and 7-1/4 for bag top.
• Strips of other papers were cut/ die cut at 4” in width to add interest.
• Sentiment was stamped on a 1/2” strip of Very Vanilla Cardstock [101650].

Here’s a look at the side of the bag so you can see the width. 

I love these Clever Clasps [154564  to secure the top!

Now that you've seen this video with the how-to for making a gift bag with patterned paper, create one to have on hand for your next gift giving occasion!

Today's feature is an Easter card and Easter basket video so you can make these for the little ones in your life.

These Easter projects were first shown on my Facebook LIVE this past Wednesday.  I am planning to give these to our granddaughters for Easter.  The card has an easy fun fold element when you open the inside of the card. Let's take a look at the video to see the process.

Lisa's Inklings:
Card-

• Basic White Cardstock [159276] card base- 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, a piece for stamping and fussy cutting, and a 1 x 8-1/2 piece for the fold inside.  Score at 2-1/4, 4-1/4, and 6-1/4.
• Highland Heather Cardstock [146986]- 4 x 5-1/4  and a piece for the die-cut label.
• Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper [154570] 3-3/4 x 5.
• Misty Moonlight Cardstock [153081] small piece for the die-cut label.

Here's a look at that interior fun fold...

Basket-

• Highland Heather Cardstock [146986] cut 8-1/2 x 8-1/2. Score at 2-1/2" on all 4 sides.
• Highland Heather Cardstock [146986] for handle- 1-1/4 x 8-1/2.
• Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper [154570] - 4 pieces cut at 3-1/4 x 2-1/4; one piece 1 x 8-1/2 for the handle.
• Basic White Cardstock [159276] white for stamping and punching.
• Misty Moonlight Cardstock [153081] 1 x 1-1/4.

This little Easter basket and card will be perfect for our little girls.  Here's another basket design...a tad bit smaller and made from Designer paper.  You can see that this basket holds more fun trinkets and treats!

Here are the supplies used to create both of these projects...

Thank you for your support of my small business.  When you purchase Stampin' Up! supplies from me, it allows me to continue offering videos and project ideas for you!

Thanks for tuning in today! Now that you have all the details, create something fun to be the light to someone special.   I hope you've been inspired to make an Easter card and basket for the little ones in your life.

With St. Patrick's Day coming up, it's a good time for an idea for this fun little treat box.

This is a simple one and a good size for some fun candy treats or even a gift card!  Going through my supplies, I found some stamp sets and dies that would be just right to wish someone "top of the day" on the 17th.

There are many shades of green in this Stampin' Up! color realm but this spruce matched my treats, Andes Mints, so that was the deciding factor. 

Here's the how-to video so that you can put one of these together quickly.

Lisa's Inklings:

• Cut the Shaded Spruce 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [146981] to 3 x 6.
• Use your Simply Scored [122334] to score on the long side at 2, 2-3/4, 4-3/4, and 5-1/2.
• Turn and score at 3/4 to form the box bottom.
• You will need some scrap pieces of Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [159276] and Brass Foil Sheets [153057] (depending on the style you are making.)
• The Rainbow Glimmer Paper [153056] makes a pretty four-leaf clover.  You will just need a small piece.

I think this version with the sentiment from the game on stamp set is just right for my better-half! Those hearts from the kanga dies make a cute shamrock, don't you think?

St. Patrick's Day was always a fun day for me growing up.  I was eager to attend my school that day to see all the wearing of the green.  Making these little treat boxes and decorations each year brings some of those fun memories to mind.

Here's a look back at some of the fun projects for St. Patrick's Day... a Leprechaun Hat Treat Holder and a St. Patrick's Day Banner.

Below are the supplies used for the two St. Patrick's Day treat boxes seen in today's video.  If you are needing any card-making or paper crafting supplies, I would be honored to serve you!

Hope you have been inspired to try this paper crafting project so now that you've seen the video, give it a try! Have some fun on St. Patrick's Day with these treat boxes that you can create yourself and until next time, let your light shine!

Happy Mardi Gras!  We are experiencing some near record low temperatures today as is most of the USA.  With that being said, our electrical power situation is uncertain so this post will be quick as well as the video.  If you have questions about the project, please let me know.  The measurements are listed below the video.

Since many of us are homebound due to icy roads, I wanted to share an easy project that can be used with a little Ghiradelli chocolate square for any occasion. The Mardi Gras colors are used on this project: purple represents justice, green represents faith, and gold represents power. 

Here's the super quick video!

Lisa's Inklings:

• Gorgeous Grape 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [146987] is cut 6 x 3-1/4.
• Score this piece at 2, 2-12, 4-1/2, and 5 on the long side.
• Turn and score on the short side at 1/2 inch from each side.
• Garden Green 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [102584] is cut 3/4 x 5-1/2 for the belly band.
• You'll need a small piece of Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [159276] for stamping and punching.

This is an easy little treat box and you can make it anytime!  See some of our Mardi Gras family fun from yesterday HERE.

Here it is... the last of the 2020 Halloween projects with an easy treat pouch for Week 12!  It is really simple to put together and I just bet you have what you need to make some of these.

In the video, you will see two versions of this project using the same cuts and dimensions.  Ready to see it?

Here's the video for this quick project!

Lisa's Inklings:

•  Cut the Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper [153517] to 3-3/4 x 8.

• You'll need a scrap piece of  Cajun Craze 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [119684] for stamping and punching.
• Need to save a little time?  Leave off the ribbon; it's still super cute!

Here are the supplies that were used for this project. (Psst...The designer paper is on sale through Saturday, October 31st.)

Getting socks for Christmas is not always fun but with this unique gift packaging with a fun technique, the gift will be extra special.

Of course, after watching the video you may think of many other ideas and gifts that would be just as fun in the packaging idea. 

Let's take a look at the video which first aired last Wednesday on my Craft & Chat on Facebook.

Lisa's Inklings:

• Trimming The Town Designer Series Paper [153491] is cut with two pieces at  5-1/2 x 2-1/8 and two pieces at 2-5/8 x 2-1/8.
• Cut coordinating strips of this designer paper with two pieces at 1/2 x 5-1/2 and two pieces at 1/2 x 2-5/8.
• Be sure to watch the video for the technique with the 6" X 8"  Cellophane Bags [102210].
• Ribbon to tie cello packaging is cut at about 8" for each of the four pieces.
• I think it's best to wrap the ribbon around the carrier and partially tying the bow before cutting.  Better to have too much than too little and everyone ties bows differently.

Do you know someone who will enjoy receiving a gift in this packaging? Here's what you'll need.
