C reate these cute gift bags using your Stampin' Up! Designer Series papers. You can get 2 or 3 from one sheet and you only need add a small amount of coordinating card stock. Decorate with tags or other embellishments to personalize an event oar to a special person.
Project Recipe
Use the full width (12") of Designer Series Paper and cut to the height desired. I usually get 3 bags from one sheet of paper.
Cut the base from coordinating card stock (4 x 2 1/2 inches)
Add Tear and Tape to the bottom and one side of the Designer Series Paper
Cut 2 handles to length desired plus 1inch.
SU Tear and Tape is great for this project.
Score around all 4 sides of the base 1/4 inch from outside edge.
Cut along one side of each corner to score line.
Add Tear and Tape to each corner.
Fold along all score lines
Fold all 4 sides of the base along the score lines and attach the corners with the Tear and Tape on the outside of each side. (This keeps the inside of the bag neat)
The quickest way to curve the end of the handles is by slotting the end into a 1" Circle Punch.
Score along the centre of each handle leaving at least 1" flat at each end.
Add Tear and Tape along one side of the handle as shown in the photo.
Press both sides of the handle together leaving about 1" flat at either end
Gently run the handle over your fingers to create a curve.
Do both handles and set aside.
Attach the side of the bag to the base.
Peel off the covering to the Tear and Tape along the bottom of the Designer Series Paper.
Start half way along one of the longer sides and position the paper so it sits with the edge touching your table.
Slowly press the paper to the base until you get to the final corner.
Remove the Tear and Tape that is along the short side of the DSP.
Continue attaching the paper side to the base until it overlaps (about 1/4 inch)
Carefully line up the top edges of the paper and press to join the side together.
The top will seem a little wider than the base.
Attach the handles to each side of the bag.
You can use Brads, or adhesive with a button to finish off.
Create a card, tag or embellishment to complete the project.
