Today I have a cute Gift Bag tutorial for you, that uses half a sheet of 12″ x 12″ patterned paper. It’s really quick to do, makes a great size of bag and looks fab. make sure to pay attention to the direction of the patterned paper. In the video there are 2 points I mention it. You don’t want your design to be upside down!

I made a floral gift bag as well, using the Hand Penned Patterned Paper. Because its a random pattern the orientation doesn’t matter. It looks fab with the Linen Thread.

Here are all the Stampin’ Up! items I used on the 6″ x 12″ Gift Bag.

We’ve had a busy few days in Nottingham with Brian’s parents. We even got to see the kids! Lots of hugs, laughter and food. Its so funny chatting with Kim and Connor when we are co-ordinating trips. Checking everyone has done their Lateral Flow tests, making sure there are anti-bac gel and wipes, and masks. Its a whole new world. But the hugs are certainly worth it.

I’ll be back on Friday with another project for you. I hope you have a great week.
