Today I have a Treat or Gift Bag to share with you. This is quick and easy. I used a variety of punches to make it faster and I really like the outcome.
Bag
Most of the work for this project is already done for you. This bag is from the 2023-2025 In Color Treat Bags. All of the new In Colors are represented in this package of bags. There are 25 bags included, 5 of each New In Color, for the reasonable price of $10.00.
To create my bag, I used the Paper Trimmer to make a slit across the bottom to open the bottom of the bag. I then cut up an inch from the bottom on each side. The last touch was to score at 1/2″ on each side all the way down the bag. By cutting and opening the bottom, I was able to create a flat bottom.
The ribbon is wrapped around the folded over top of the bag and secured in place with a glue dot. It will slip over the fold to open. The bow is made separately and also added with a couple of glue dots. They are strong and my go to for bow adhering!
Tag
This tag may be a bit more elegant than you would think for a guy. It has the filigree look at the top. But that is mostly covered and doesn’t really show all that much. I do love this new tag punch though! It is the Elegant Edge Punch. It will create a tag up to 2″ wide. That is the width of this one. And it is 3 1/2″ long.
The circles are made using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch and the 2″ Circle Punch. I am so thrilled that Circle Punches are available again! Punches are so quick to grab when you need a simple layer. The stamp is from the He’s All That stamp set. I love the retro bus and it looks great in just one color.
Colors and Finishes
I chose to use the Copper Clay version of the Treat Bag, so made the tag in that color. As well as the stamped image. To add some contrast I turned to another of the New In Colors and went with Wild Wheat. The ribbon is really nice with just a touch of a sheen to it. And the circle layer fits perfectly. The finishing touch for Bling is a bit different. At least it is positioned differently. I used two of the 2023-2025 In Color Dots in Wild Wheat to cover the wheels on the van. That is a retro look that has returned. But we must have bling!
Thank you for stopping by today!!!

My project today is a package of Gift Tags, or Random Act of Kindness cards, using one of the Retiring products. It is the Decorated With Happiness set. This is a wonderful Bundle, and one that is less expensive purchased separately with the sale pricing.
Stamps
All of the stamps used on this project are from the Decorated With Happiness set. There are matching dies as I mentioned at the top of the post. However, I wanted to keep this as flat as possible. The bough is stamped and then the shadow stamped added. As is the two ornaments. For the sentiment I used the Layering Circles Dies and then turned it into the look of an ornament. To do that I drew a straight line for the hanger using the Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Write Marker. And to finish that look I tied a bow using the In Color Baker’s Twine in Sweet Sorbet and White.
Cards
The 3 X 3 cards are made the same way as the front of the gift holder. Here is a view of one of those. They do not have the added layers of the sentiment though. I made a few with different ornaments but all done the same way. They each received a Festive Pearl in the center of the ornament for a touch of bling.
Directions for Card Holder
The front stamped layer is 4 X 3 3/4 to begin with. After doing the stamping I cut 1 1/8 off the top to fit over the flap. When adhering this layer, place the bottom section first and allow equal measures on the bottom and sides. Do this with the holder closed and the bottom section you are adhering will be flush against the bottom of the flap. Then add the top piece with it being flush with the bottom of the flap and equal on sides and top.
Here is an open view of the card holder.
This is a very simple card holder. It is another oldy but goody that I found when looking for something! That seems to happen fairly often. The holder begins with a piece of Garden Green card stock cut to 4 1/4 X 11. It is then scored at 1 1/4, 5 1/4, 6 1/4, and 7 1/4. Fold and burnish the score lines to create the mountain in the center .
For a closure, I used clear velcro dots. They were added after the front layer is adhered. You may have your own method for adding these. But I add the one under the flap first. I can place it towards the bottom of the flap and then with the second half attached simply close the flap on to the closed box. This ensures perfect placement.
I included 4 cards and envelopes and there is plenty of room.

My project for today is a gift tag. Using Flowing Flowers stamp, Sports Event dies, Hearts, and Doilies make a quick and easy project. This one is for my customers who earned my Shopping Award with my Blue Star Perks. You can read about my Perks at the bottom where this month’s Host Code is located. And also the full information regarding my Perks is under the menu bar with Shop / Perks.
Stamps
The single stamp used on today’s tag is from the Flowing Flowers stamp set. All of the sentiments in this set have this type of Font. These are some of my favorite sentiments and partly because of the font style. It is stamped using Real Red Ink onto Basic White cardstock.
Punches
For me grabbing a punch is one of the quickest ways to make a card. I love all of the Stampin’ Up! punches. The hearts I have used here are a pair. They are the perfect size for quite a lot of the sentiments, or a small stamped image. Thankfully the smaller one was perfect for the Thank You!
Dies
And the base of the tag is a die from the Sports Event Die set. They pair with the Your Biggest Fan stamp set. And they are part of the Hey Sports Fan Suite of products. So there are quite a lot of products they can work with. However, I didn’t use any of those products for my tag, except the tag itself. So now you can see another use for this Die set. Plus it is a perfect size!
Embellishments, etc.
The doily is from the Heart & Home Doilies. There are three different colors in the package. And I chose the Misty Moonlight. The tag needed something besides more red. And I could add the Cotton Ribbon Combo of Misty Moonlight as well. Continuing the Misty Moonlight a bit further, I added one of the 2020-2022 In Color Gems . I love how all of these pieces make a quick tag. And they are not ones that you would normally think of as pairing.

Before I get started on today’s project I wanted to tell you how Awesome the upcoming Mini Catalog is. As a Demonstrator, one of our perks is to get to do a Pre-order for the upcoming catalogs. I ordered way more than I should have. But that is the fun of stamping. And I will have the products to use and get the excitement going for the Catalog debut on August 3rd. If you would like to have this pre-order perk, lets talk about you joining my team!
For today’s project I have decorated one of the Mini Paper Pumpkin boxes to hold a small gift and added a sweet gift tag. I used the Sweet as a Peach Bundle along with the You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper. TIP: This DSP is one of the ones on sale for the next month at 15% off!!
Sweet As A Peach
I love everything in this You’re A Peach Suite of products!!! I used the Sweet As A Peach Stamp Set to make the little tag. The branch with the flower are both from the stamp set. The flower itself is die cut using the Peach Dies. The “For You” is from the Pretty Perennials stamp set.
For the Mini Paper Pumpkin Box, (you can see them on page 137 of the Annual Catalog), I covered just the lid with the You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper. The DSP is layered on Balmy Blue cardstock. I think this sheet is my favorite from this DSP pack. I love the mix of colors on the flowers and the tiny blue flower. I chose the Balmy Blue as the stand out color and that it was what I used on the back tag for the Gift Tag.
The gift tag is cut using the Tailor Made Tags Dies. There are two different styles of tags with three sizes of each style. This is a great way to make a darling tag with minimal time and effort.
Finishing Touches
To secure the box, and because it is so pretty, I used the Petal Pink Organdy Ribbon. It is very easy to work with and I love the texture the ribbon has. The gift tag was added just above the bow by making a simple Linen Thread bow.
The layers of the gift tag are secured together with a glue dot, and are a bit offset from each other. The flower is adhered using a Stampin’ Dimensional. I added a single Rhinestone to the center of the sweet flower. It was a toss up to go with Bling or with a Black Matte Dot to match the flowers on the paper. Bling won out!

Have you gotten through the new Annual Catalog? I find something new and add to my wish list every time I go through it. Today’s project is a partner to the card I shared yesterday. You can see that card HERE if you missed it.
A Quick Gift
The star of this project is this gorgeous Ombre Gift Bag. The pack contains 4 each of the 5 New 2021-2023 In Colors. So 20 bags for a low price of $6.00. That is a deal to me. The bags measure 4 3/4 X 7, so they are plenty roomy for any small gift. Even a cookie would be a sweet treat in this bag.
I used all of the same stamps and colors as the card from yesterday. The flower is from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set. The Polished Pink and Soft Succulent really compliment each other. And the larger flower on the tag is proportioned well for the size of the bag.
New Punch
The focal part of the tag is the stamped area. But did you notice the fancy top of the tag? It is the new Elegant Tag Punch. It comes as part of a bundle and part of a Suite of products. Punches are always a favorite of mine.
This one is special in that you can make the tag as long as you wish. It is designed to feed in and punch the top, but the tail of the paper can extend beyond the punch. The only requirement is that the width of the paper be 1 3/4 or smaller. My tag measures 1 3/4 X 4 1/2 before punching the top.
Finishing Touches
Today’s finishing touches are two different ones. I added the matching Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon that I used on the card from yesterday. This tag has a simply bow as that is all it really needed. I also added the Bumblebee Trinket again. These little guys are so stinkin’ cute!!
The finish of the bag is to simply fold it over. I added the tag with a single Stampin’ Dimensional. The weight of the tag , along with creasing the bag fold, keeps the bag closed very well.
Thank you for stopping by today. I really appreciate your visits and comments. The companion projects are to share with you how everything with Stampin’ Up! products pair so easily. All of today’s supplies are listed at the bottom of the post.

I made this little gift tag for a party recently. It would also be a great little gift enclosure or a RAK card. It is Quick, Easy, and Cute!
I made this one with a gift tag in mind, so I added a string of Whisper White Baker’s Twine. It is the same size as a gift card or RAK 3 X 3 card.
I broke out a carry over from the last Holiday Catalog, Dashing Deer. Remember that beautiful deer we all used last year? This little deer is in the set as well. The DSP is from Toile Tidings.
The card base is cut 6 X 3 with DSP cut 2 3/4 X 2 3/4, and the white cut to 2 1/2 X 2 1/2. I used Real Red Ink for everything. It cannot get much easier than this!
The list below is the CARRYOVER List. Items from the Holiday Catalog that will carry over to the 2020 Holiday Catalog. They will not be orderable between the two catalogs however.
