Need a few extra gift bags for the holidays?

If you need a few extra gift cards and have some extra 12 x 12 DSP around, below are directions for how to create them.  The picture below shows the gift bags completed with the new blue DSP that is the December Product of the Month but they would be gorgeous with some of the holiday DSP patterns as well.  

To create a gift bag:

1. Score two pieces of 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper with the same pattern at 3" (7.6 cm) and 11-1/2" (29.2 cm), then rotate a quarter turn and score at 3" (7.6 cm).
2. Fold on all the score lines and cut along one score line of the 3" x 3" (7.6 x 7.6 cm) square in the corner of the paper to create a tab. Repeat for the 1/2" x 3" (1.3 x 7.6 cm) corner tab. 

3. Assemble the bag by adhering the 3" (7.6 cm) side of one page to the 1/2" (1.3 cm) side of the other page. Then tuck in the tabs and adhere the bottom flaps together.
4. To create handles, score two 2-1/2" x 12" (6.4 x 30.5 cm) strips of Designer Series Paper along the short edge at 3/4" (1.9 cm) and 1-3/4" (4.4 cm). Fold at the score lines and adhere together.
5. Adhere the handles to the inside of the bag and reinforce them by adhering a piece of 7-1/2" x 2" (19 x 5.1 cm) cardstock over the ends of each handle inside the bag.

Putting Old Products to Good Use!

Who remembers this set of Christmas cards from a few years back? They were an add on for a Paper Pumpkin Kit.  I have paired them with the ephemera from the North Pole Delivery DSP and I think they work great together!

Do you have old products that you could put to use?

Have you heard the news?

Stampin' Up! is starting a new program called Product of the Month. This will take the place of Sale-a-bration.  Each month, a new POM will become available.  The new program is in effect.  This month the POM is an exclusive pack of DSP.  All the details are in the photos below. 

 

Happy First Sunday of Advent 2025

How to Change Your Paper Pumpkin Treat Boxes into Festive Cards!

I have created three cards using the Wrapped in Cheer Paper Pumpkin cards. I love pairing Cherry Cobbler with the Subtles colors so I decided to create a card with the three Subtle colors I like most: Petal Pink, Pool Party and Soft Sea Foam.

I used retired DSP for the Petal Pink card and tone-on-ton stamping for the other two.  I also used some stamps from the October kit because I felt they worked well with the stamps from this month's kit. I also added some elements using the Abundant Joy add on dies.

I'd love to know what you think of my cards!  Have you tried adding a bold color the the Subtles family? If not, give it a try...you might just find you like the combination!
