Hello and welcome! This is Mendi popping in to share some Christmas holiday gift bags featuring our Baking Spirits Bright Stamps and Sweet Treat Gift Bag Dies.
It's been a while since I've revisited our Sweet Treat Gift Bag Dies, and I almost forgot how cool they are! They come with all the pieces to create three different styles of gift bags and/or handle options. You can also add a cutout to the front to create clear cellophane windows. The possibilities are truly endless. For both my gift bags today, I chose to use the optional curved flap with the added slit and tab to hook them closed. They are the perfect size to give a handmade felt ornament, cookies, candies, gift cards, or jewelry.
For both of my bags, I cut all the pieces from red cardstock. Before I started folding them along the score lines, I stamped them with a seamless polka-dot pattern assembly line style in my MISTI tool using the border from the Background Basic 2 Stamps. I then cut panels for the front using the brown prints from the All is Bright Paper pack with the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I added the candy cane striped patterned paper strip to the bottom of each panel and then trimmed them down to only be 3-3/8" high so they wouldn't interfere with the slot closure.
Using white embossing powder, I heat-embossed punny greetings along the bottom of each panel. I arranged all the darling images from the Baking Spirits Bright Stamps (and a couple of hearts from the Christmas Cookies Stamps). Before adhering the curved flap for my treat bags, I cut a white scalloped piece using the Scalloped Circle Mat 1 Dies and cut out the center with the Stitched Circle Large Dies. I then cut the scalloped circle in half to use as a decorative trim piece for both bags. I love that it worked out that nothing went to waste. These were so fun to create!
Here's a side view of the gift bags closed up and ready for gift-giving. I positioned my bows with a strong liquid adhesive above the slit and tab closure so that the bag can easily be opened and closed without tearing anything. The ribbon came from my stash and was one of those old mini 4-foot spools by American Crafts. The completed bags measure 3-1/2" wide x 4-3/8" high.

That wraps up my project for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love.
