Personalized Gift Bag

Aug

Hello everyone! Eva Pizarro here today showing you a quick and easy personalized Gift Bag.

I love the new Warm & Cozy line! the cooper accents are gorgeous and the washi strips are filled with gorgeous patterns. I decided to use those washi and my tools from our sister company, We R Memory Keepers, to make this gift bag for my sister’s birthday present.

Use the Gift Bags Punch Board to make a paper Bag. I used this cute knit pattern from the line.

Use some ribbon to close the bag.

Use your Alphabet Punch Board to make the initial of your recipient’s name.

Add strips of washi diagonal and cut the excess.

Attach the letter to your bag using foam dots.

Decorate you bag with some die cuts and tissue paper.

I love how this bag turned out! It was so easy to make, it is a great idea for Christmas too!

Here you can see the cooper accents, they shine beautifully!

Do you like to make your own packaging? I think it adds an extra touch to the gift!

Have a great weekend!

Eva

Fun In The Sun Shaker Gift Bags

Jul

Hi there! It’s Mendi here with some fun ideas for summer gift bags using Pebbles Fun In the Sun collection along with the new Fuse tool & Gift Bag Punch Board by We R Memory Keepers. I don’t know about you, but I rarely think to prepare a fun gift bag on the actual day of an event so I love having some ready to go when I’m headed out the door to a special occasion.

I thought it would be fun to experiment with different shapes of shaker windows for each of my bags. Up first I have a circle shaped shaker that I created. To achieve this I added all my sequins to the circle shape before closing it up. I then slid the sequins over to create citrus slices by using the little metal ruler that comes with the fuse tool.

My next bag features a star window filled with multi-colored sequins. I cut an extra band of patterned paper to go along the top of my bag which I punched with a scalloped edge using a border punch. Make sure to keep reading because I share step-by-step instructions on how I created this fun window using the fuse tool.

My last gift bag is my favorite. It uses some of the fun watermelon print papers from the collection so I thought it would be really fun to create a heart window and punch out little raindrops to pose as watermelon seeds for my shaker.

I was amazed at how easy it is to create these little windows with the fuse tool and some basic supplies I already had on hand! Using an old page protector I snipped off a small section just a wee bit larger than my die. I then used the die as a template and traced it with the fuse tool, making sure to leave a small section open to slip my sequins and punches into.

After filling up the little pouch, I re-positioned my die and fused the remaining two edges with the tool.

I then trimmed around the star leaving a small border around it and added sticky adhesive tape to the side that I wanted to face out on my bag.

Using the same die I die-cut a window out of my gift bags. This was a bit tricky for my largest gift bag due to the width so I had to fold the bottom flaps under while running it through my diecutting machine.

I then taped the fused star pouch to the inside of my bag. Using the same sized die works well for this technique since most dies have a slight border around them.

Here’s one last look at my three different summer bags. I hope I’ve inspired you to create some shaker gift bags of your own. I am really loving how many different techniques that are possible with the fuse tool! 🙂

Easy Mothers Day Gift Idea

May

3 Comments

Hello! Becki here to share with you an easy and quick Mother’s Day gift idea. I used to dread Mother’s Day because I worried about finding the perfect gift for my mom. As I’ve gotten older and I’m a mom myself I’ve realized that finding the perfect gift doesn’t matter. As a mom I just want to know that my kiddos are thinking about me and I’ve realized that my mom is the same way. She would much prefer a visit from her kids and grandkids over a fancy present. This year I created a small gift bag that I’m putting a small flower and a gift card in for my mom and my mother-in-law.

I used the Cottage Living collection and the Gift Bag Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers. These two products made creating my Mother’s Day projects so quick and easy!

I started by collecting a few supplies. I got some patterned paper, Thickers, embellishments and the punch board.

Using this punch board I was able to create two cute little gift bags in just a couple of minutes.

Then the fun part began. I added just a few little embellishments and some Thickers to basic kraft tags.

I stitched the Thickers onto the tags so I was sure they wouldn’t fall off of my gift bags.

After that I added a flower and a gold clip to the top of the kraft tag.

Then I adhered the tag to the gift bag. Easy, easy easy.

The final touch was a couple of small staples at the top of the tag. I stapled the tag to the gift bag just to make sure the tag stayed put.

I added some cute little violas inside the gift bag along with a gift card and my Mother’s Day gifts are ready to go!

Thank you for stopping by the Pebbles blog today. Come back and visit us soon and have a very Happy Mother’s Day!

Gift Bag and Easy Tag Set

Hi friends, it’s Wendy Sue again, sharing my most recent happy little project with you! I really love giving little “just because” gifts to family members and friends. Seeing the look of surprise in someone’s eyes when you give them a special little gift, just out of the blue, is the BEST! It’s really easy to do these types of things, without a lot of planning ahead, if you have a nice stash of gift cards, gift bags, gift tags, etc. on hand. I recently discovered that my stash was getting low. I decided to use some fun little phrase cards from the “happy day” collection to create some quick and easy tags. And of course, I had to use the coordinating papers, along with my Gift Bag punch board, to create some sweet little gift bags – just perfect for tucking in a delicious treat…chocolate anyone?!?
