Gift bags are easy to make with Stampin’ Up! products. Just buy plain white or kraft colored gift bags or various sizes and add a tag, decorate the front and insert your gift and some matching tissue. For this bag the tissue was cut with the Fringe Scissors to give it some interest. You could also stamp on your tissue paper.
This bag idea came from my friend Cindy – you can see her bag here. I used the same idea but with different colors. And I love her colored tissue paper but I didn’t have any to match my color scheme so I just used white.
Do you ever keep the rubber scraps that are left after you assemble your stamp set? I used to years ago when we just had the wood stamps – I never really did anything with it though. At one point in time we would cut it and use the foam like a dimensional. Now I save my rubber scrap for my clear mounted stamp sets – I attach it inside the case and then put the stamps back in place when I’m storing them. This helps me know if I’m missing any stamps out of the set. For this Starburst Sayings stamp set however I didn’t attach the rubber scrap inside my case. That’s because it has various sized circles which are perfect to use as a template. Cindy was clever enough to use the circles on her bag. Just go around them with your Stampin’ Write markers.
To create the tag –
- I used a piece of the Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper – cut it with the Banner Framelit to make a banner.
- Used a 2″ strip of Basic Black card stock – punch with the Angled Tag Topper punch
- Stamped the “Oh Happy Day” image – once in Bermuda Bay and cut it out with the Starburst Framelit and once with Crushed Curry and hand cut just the HAPPY. Attached these pieces with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Cut a Melon Mambo piece of card stock with the arrow from the On Film Framelits and attached that to the top of the tag.
- Add Bakers Twine through the tap topper and tie it to the handle of the bag.
- Tie a piece of the Basic Black Chevron Ribbon around the handle of the bag.
I used this bag for my nephew’s birthday gift – the card I made for him was in these same colors.

Cool Kid. AWESOME. amazing SUPERHERO.
Those are some of the stamps in the Cool Kid stamp set in the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog. I used it this week to make birthday cards for my niece and nephew. I think they are cool kids and this was the perfect stamp set for that. I bought it with the two of them in mind. I used the same basic layout for both cards and the same pack of Designer Series paper – I just focused on different colors and images so that I could create a “boy” version and a “girl” version of the same card.
Here is Ally’s card – I used Melon Mambo (she loves pink) and the cat and kites.
And this one is Noah’s card – no pink on this one and I used the dog with the paper airplanes. His card is actually on a Basic Black card base which you can’t see because I photographed on a black background.
Supplies used for these cards:
- Cool Kid* stamp set, Bring on the Cake stamp set
- Kaleidoscope* Designer Series Paper
- On Film Framelits Dies*
- Girl card: Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo & Whisper White card stock
- Boy card: Basic Black, Crushed Curry & Whisper White card stock
- Girl card: Basic Rhinestone, Regals Designer Buttons
- Boy card: Neutral Candy Dots, Basic Metal Buttons*
- Whisper White Baker’s Twine
- Stampin’ Write Makers: Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Basic Gray, Smoky Slate
- Jet Black Staz On
- Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo classic ink
*Products featured in the Occasions 2014 catalog. If you would like to order any of these products – SHOP HERE.
I gave Noah his card – he had his 9th birthday – when he opened it – I said “I made that card for you.” – he reply with a big grin – “I knew you were going to make me a card!”
Find some cool kids and make them a fun card.

If you need a quick card try the Happenings Simply Created Card Kit.
The card kit is in the Stampin’ Up! Occasions catalog for $14.95. It comes with supplies to make 15 cards including envelopes. All you need is a greeting stamp and ink and your adhesive to finish the cards in the kit. There are 3 different designs. This is one of them. Really quick and easy.
And since I’ve been gone today and only home for just a minute this post is short!

Finally we have a Tuesday with SUNSHINE! And mild temperatures – hooray! I’m so tired of the cold and ready for spring to be here. The Bluebirds are active in the house again today – maybe they are finishing the nest they started before the snow came. Over the weekend I filled all the feeders and moved a couple of bird houses – they were the ones that no one used last year so I thought I would try a new spot.
Kyle has been gone for a week now. He spent that time setting up his apartment. It’s been a bit of an experience – let’s just say he is learning a lot and getting in quite a bit of walking each day (his car is still here at home waiting to be picked up by the transport service). And today is his first day at work. He got up early to catch the first shuttle in to the office. He is supposed to call tonight to let me know how today went.
