A ‘SKINNY’ TREAT BAG!

Jenny Hayward

I can’t say that the content of these bags would make you skinny, but the bags are called clear skinny bags I managed to get from the US.  You can get them through clearbags.com.

We made these in my Gift Packaging Class a couple of weeks ago.  You can decorate them anyway you like to give as little treats for someone. 

Here is a close-up of the Topper.

For this I have used Elements of Style, Party This Way and Lots of Tags.  Can you pick them?  I have also used the large scallop circle punch from the Summer Mini which has been withdrawn at the moment.

This is the other bag using ‘Perfect Punches’

Not the best photo – sorry!

I best be off.  I still have presents to wrap and things to do.  Christmas is only 4 sleeps away.

ANOTHER CHRISTMAS BAG!

Jenny Hayward

Here is another Gift bag I have been making recently.  This bag was inspired by one in our monthly Demonstrator magazine recently.  I set about to recreate it.  I will give you the instructions below.

I have used the Jolly Holiday DSP and then used the Delightful Decorations stamp set and the punch to decorate it.  I added some Rhinestones in the middle of the ornaments.  To seal the bag I punched out a scallop oval from Old Olive and an oval from Cherry Cobbler.  I adhered these together and attached them to the bag.  You can use a velcro dot to the front so it is easy to open and close to get the goodies out!!!

I had made another one previously to this Christmas bag using the DSP Lap of Luxury.  I punched 2 butterflies, one from the DSP and another stamped from the Hostess set ‘Punch Potpourri’.  These were adhered to the front and a Rhinestone added to the centre.  To close this bag I punched out a piece with the small Oval punch from Pretty in Pink and used a glue dot for this one. I just changed this yesterday and  added a bow with the Pretty in Pink Satin ribbon.  I also added some tags with the Tiny Tags.  One from the DSP and one stamped on Pretty in Pink.  These were punched out and tied on with Hemp Twine.  I really liked how this turned out!

 

You can decorate these any way you like.  It is better to use DSP for them though as they bend easier than card.

Here are the instructions to create these cute bags:

Cut DSP to 28cmx14cm.  Score on the 14cm side at 5cm.  Turn and score on the 28cm side at 8cm, 13cm, 21cm, 26cm.

Cut on the score lines along the long side up to the 5cm score line.  You can cut off the small tab at the end.  Add adhesive to the bottom tabs (on the right side of the 2 small tabs and on 1 of the large tabs), and to the narrow side tab (on the wrong side).  Does that make sense?  Assemble the bag together.  Pinch the sides in.  To seal you can use a velcro dot.  Decorate as desired.

These are very quick to make.  So you have no excuse not to make any of these to put little treats in!

LEONIE’S BAG!

Jenny Hayward

I have one more little thing to show you from convention.  You are probably all convention-ed out now!!!  I made this little bag for my roomie Leonie N.  I wanted to make something special for her.  The original idea came from Chiaki Haverstick.  When I made it up though it was so tiny measuring 7.5cmx5cm (3″x2″).    So I enlarged it and made a separate flap.

I’ll give you the directions for the bag shortly but just to let you know what I did.  I used the So Swirly wheel over the card in Baja Breeze.  I assembled the bag.  For the flap I ran it through the Big Shot with the dots impressions folder and rounded the corners.  Now because of the width of the flap, the impressions folder didn’t cover it all.  So I lined it up again and ran through what hadn’t been done.  I rounded the corners of the flap and adhered it to the bag with Sticky Strip.  I adhered the ribbon with Sticky Strip inside the flap.  I created the flower by punching out several scallop circles and circles from DSP.  I scrunched them up and layered them.  Then added the Rhinestone brad before adhering it to the front of the bag.  To close the flap I adhered magnets to the inside of the flap and the front of the box.  I filled the bag with some little shampoo and soap and chocolate!!!! The inside!! To create the bag: 1. Cut card 19cmx20cm.  On the 19cm side score at 8cm and 11cm.  On the 20cm side score at 2.5cm and 17.5cm. 2.  Cut card for the flap measuring 15cmx10.5cm.  Score on the 10.5cm side at 5.5cm and 8.5cm.  Fold on the score lines. 3.  Stamp bag with wheel if desired before assembling.  Fold on score lines.  Assemble bag.  Run the widest part of the flap through the Big Shot if desired and round the corners.  Add Sticky Strip to back piece of the flap and adhere to the back of the bag. 4.  Adhere ribbon to inside of the flap.  You could attach it to the outside of the bag with eyelets if desired. Hope all this makes sense.  Happy Creating!!!
