This week at CASE-ing The Catty, we are featuring 3D projects and I'm sure the rest of the design crew will have some fantastic projects to share. Usually, I find 3D difficult, although I've mastered Card-in-a-Box these days. Stampin' Up!® saved the day for me when they added the Gift Bag Punch Board to the catalogue, you'll find it on page 150 of the catalogue, along with the Envelope Punch Board and Gift Box Punch Board,
I'd seen all of these products scattered through the Holiday Catalogue and they definitely give a festive look to cards and gifts.
The gusset on the side is easily done with the Gift Bag Punch Board, you just follow the directions written on the board. There is also a hole punch which helps with evenly spacing the ribbon holes around the top. After punching out a tag with the Ornate Tag Topper, I stamped with a simple stamp from Day Of Celebration.
Now I'll head off to make more bags to hold the gifts for the kids at school, and you pop on over to visit the lovely Helen at H2Designs
Cheers, Rachel
This is truly lovely Rachel. The corrugated cardboard along the top adds a special touch & I love the way the ribbon threads through it.
ReplyDeleteI love the dangling stars at the end of the tag! This is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteLovely Rachel, love the whole ensemble, but the corrugated kraft at the top is terrific. Can I ask what size paper you started with and what the finished bag measurements are? I don't have the SU gift bag board and I'm finding it hard to get a sense of size. How big cn you make the bags?
ReplyDeleteThanks Liz for your kind comments. I began with a piece of 12" X 12" and made the largest bag. Before gluing it together, I took a couple of inches off the top, because the gift is small. The bag is nowhere near the size of a bottle bag,although a friend thought it was from the picture, 9.5 cm on the flat side and 5cm through the folded side, 21 cm tall. I really like this gift bag punch though!
DeleteI like the combination of colours and the gift bag is lovely. I love the wooden elements.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift bag. I especially love the corrugated paper around the top. What a great touch!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Rachel! Love the textures from the corrugated card, glimmer paper, metallic cord & wooden element (& the fact the wrapping co-ordinates beautifully with the gift!) :)
