Gift Bag

Contents

I was a little perplexed at what project to create for Thanksgiving.  It’s not a big card giving holiday, it’s a family, football and eating holiday.  I decided to make at hostess gift bag if your going to someone else’s home for dinner or a favor bag if you are the one hosting the family.

To make the bag I pulled out the Stampin’ Up! Gift Bag Punch Board.  To be honest, I’ve had it since it was first introduced, and this is the first time I’ve used it. (Don’t tell my husband, what happens in the stamp room stays in the stamp room.)  I did have to find the Stampin Up video instructions (see below) to understand how to use it.  It’s one of those situations, of once you get it, you get it.  I did a few test before getting out the “good paper”.   One thing to remember that made it easy for me is that you are making the front/back first, then the side, then the other front/back,  last side, then tab to attach.  I made a medium box.wmdsc_0647

The box is modified my box to have a top flap, an idea I got from from Australian Demonstrator Teneale Williams.  To make it easy to open and close I added a velcro closure to the box.

Modifications

Cut and punch your paper as described in the Stampin’ Up! video.  I made a medium box.

Flip the paper over and place the “back” back into the punch board.  Punch the far left side.

Slide the paper over to the other side of the “back” and punch again.

When you remove your paper from the punch board, it should look like this.

Place in your Stampin’ Trimmer, and cut off the remaining “tops.”

Here’s what your paper will look like after your done with the modifications to make a top flap.  Now continue on with he video instructions and decorate as you like.

    I really like what you did with the punch board. I will remember the flap.

  18. Susan Mack says

    #stampitcontest I agree the gift bag punch board is not hard to use. We just have to remember to use it! Nice gift bag

    That is such a cute bag……..love the lid idea!! Will have to give this a try!

  27. Sarah says

    Thanksgiving is a big card giving day in my family. I choose to send Thanksgiving cards instead of sending Christmas cards to avoid the rush of all the other cards. But your sac/box is lovely and I will probably use the design for a card. Thanks for sharing!

  29. Robin Allen says

    I’m always looking for ideas to use to put in my candy that I make for gifts.
    This would be perfect. Thanks. #stampitcontest

    I have always wondered if it takes an engineer to come up with these clever ideas for all of the boxes. #stampitcontest

    #stampitcontest great bag…sounds very familiar…buying a product and then forgetting you have it LOL

  42. Mary Blocher says

    #stampitcontest Thanks so much for reminding me about my gift bag punch board. I too have not used it since I bought it. I will pull it out for Monday’ class.

    This is such a pretty fall treat box! Love the paisley paper and sentiment. #stampitcontest

  58. Carol Smith says

    I like the idea of a gift box instead of my usual card for the host/hostess. I’m eager to try this.

    I’m a newbie to the art of scrapbooking and card making. I love this, being able to make my own personalized gift bag! #stampitcontest

  67. Tobey Warnock says

    Paisley kit is growing on my, the gift bag might seal the deal. Thanks for the inspired idea. #stampitcontest
