Gift Bags and Tags

Today’s blog hop are ideas for gift bags and tags to get you ready for the holidays. My project is a gift bag. I used a plain white gift bag from Dollar Tree to decorate. I used the Sentimental Christmas 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. This DSP is for the Give Back Program. For each buy of this DSP, Stampin’ Up! will donate $3.00 to support children’s literacy around the world.

Craft & Give Back

This exquisite festive patterned paper bursts with traditional holiday imagery that ignites the spirit of the season! From the vibrant holly and luscious berries to the delightful candy canes and flickering candles. Every element intertwines to create a magical tapestry. You’ll be enchanted by the delicate snowflakes, charming Christmas trees, and playful reindeer that dance across its surface. Adorned with lovely border ribbons, stockings brimming with treasures, and lively striped designs, this masterpiece is a must-have! Don’t miss this chance to grab this. It contributes to children’s literacy!

My gift bag is Santa approved! The bag features Santa’s favorite friend, Mrs. Claus. Decorated in snowflakes and a gingerbread color of Pecan Pie. A fancy rosette is the focal point of the bag. A Mrs. Claus image in the center of the rosette colored in with Stampin’ Blends. Add some ribbon and Real Red and White adhesive-backed Peppermints to finish the bag.

Perfect for whipping up those impulsive gift bags. Trust me, the recipient will adore the bag just as much—if not more—than the surprise waiting inside.

Supplies:

  • White gift bag (mine is from Dollar Tree)
  • DSP of Choice from Sentimental Christmas
  • 3-5 pieces of ribbons: Pool Party 5/8″ Pompom, Shaded Spruce 1/2″ Sheer. Cherry Cobbler, Gold 1/4″, and Gold 1/8″ Trim from the Gold and Silver Combo pack.
  • Round We Go dies for rosette
  • Sweetest Star stamp and punch
