Teacher Appreciation Gift Bag with Tutorial


I thought that for Lets Talk Tuesday this week we'd shake things up creating a small gift with scrapbooking supplies.  As a paper crafter I (probably like many of you) have accumulated quite a stash of paper crafting supplies. I like to put those supplies to good use whether it's on a scrapbooking page, a card, or a gift. This time, I created a cute gift bag for a teacher appreciation gift.


I used the Soak Up the Sun collection (by Carta Bella Paper) to make this a bright happy gift. I started with a kraft gift bags and a few elements from Carta Bella Paper's Soak Up the Sun collection.

I knew I wanted to use the Moped Die Set so I started by cutting the pieces for that with some patterned paper, black cardstock, and gray cardstock and a manual die cut machine (Sizzix Big Shot)

After I cut out all the pieces I was ready to start working on the gift bag.

I added a paper doily on the edge of the bag and trimmed the edge of the doily off the bag.

After I added the doily I cut two circles from patterned paper in the Soak Up The Sun 6x6 Paper Pad using a circle cutter . I embossed the smaller circle with the Cloud Embossing Folder once again using a manual die cutting machine (Sizzix Big Shot).

Then, I added the circles on top of the doily.

After adding the doily and the patterned paper circles to the gift bag I was ready to finish it up with some stickers and a little bit of Soak Up The Sun Decorative Tape, Striped Washi Tape.

 I think I'll fill this cute bag with a few treats and maybe a gift card for a cute teacher appreciation gift. Last year when I helped with a teacher appreciation dinner I created some cute water bottles for the entire staff at my kids school. You can find all the details to that HERE.
Thanks for stopping by today.

  2. Your bag is ADORABLE!!! I have been drooling over this collection, but I've been trying to be good since I already have 3 other new summer collections this year and I know I could never use everything I have. You're making me awfully tempted though... ;)
