craftykarendesigns: Decorated Embossed Treat Bag

Hi Everyone,

A very quick project for you today. I just got my latest order and when I get a new stamp set and dies, I always stamp and die cut them all out to see what they look like. I also got some of these cute embossed treat bags so I thought I would put the die cuts to use and decorate a bag for a quick gift for a friend.

Materials

1 Embossed Treat Bag

1 sheet of basic white card stock

Polished Pink ink

Pear Pizzazz ink

True Beauty stamp set

Organic Beauty dies

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Adhesive Backed Sequins & Gems

Polished Pink ribbon

Distressed Gold Foil

Best Label Punch

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Mini Glue Dots

Instructions

I stamped all of the stamps from the True Beauty stamp set and then cut them out with the Organic Beauty dies. I also cut a couple of the pieces in the distressed gold foil for some contrast.

The bags come folded flat and you just have to open them out, really easy, no folding and sticking required.

Then I arranged the flowers and leaves on the front of the bag using dimensionals for all except the gold piece which I glued down.

I punched out the tiny sentiment with the Best Label punch and added that tucked behind the flower and then added just one sequin.

Tie a bow with the ribbon and add to the top of the bag with mini glue dots and the bag is finished.

I think that these bags are going to be really useful for all sorts of occasions, you can decorate them quite simply as I have done, or really go mad with lots of flowers and embellishments and ribbons for a special occasion. They will be a great addition to use at Christmas time too, I can see me using these a lot.

I hope that you like my little bag and will try some of your own. Please pop over and see what Donna and Victoria have made too.
