How to make a cute gift bag with By The Bay designer series paper

Hello, I hope you are well.

If you are one of my Stampin’ Up! customers then you’ll know that I like to send out thank you packs when you order. I send them out at the beginning of the month for orders I’ve received in the previous month. The packs include a handmade card, a handmade gift package and if you use my Host Code when you order, you also get a free pack of embellishments.

I want to share the handmade gift I sent out recently, for orders placed in January…

I combined the gorgeous new By The Bay designer series paper with one of my old favourites; Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set and Seaside Seashells dies.

Want to know what’s inside? Well you’ll need to click on the image below to watch my video tutorial for this lovely gift package…

To make this project you’ll need the following supplies:

• By The Bay designer series paper measuring 4″ x 5-1/2″
  • score on the short side at 1/2″
  • score on the long side at 2″, 2-1/2″, 4-1/2″ and 5″
• Sahara Sand card for stamping and die cutting
• Basic White card for the sentiment
• ribbon

The finished gift package measures 3-1/2″ x 2″ x 1/2″

I just wanted to share this photo to prove that I did manage to tie the ribbon properly in the end, lol…

And here’s some more photos of the other ones I made…

I hope you like this little gift package and my customers liked receiving them too!
