A Tag and Gift Envelope Combo!

Hi, everybody! Suzanne here with you today to share a tag and a gift envelope that I made with Lawn Fawn's Goodie Bag die! With so much going on at this time of year, I love discovering and sharing ideas that make everything that's on my to-do list a little easier! 

This gift envelope was inspired by a tutorial that I did earlier this year. I used the pieces cut with the Goodie Bag Lawn Cuts die and rearranged them to make an envelope that's the perfect size for a gift card. You can check out the full tutorial HERE.

I chose paper from the Let's Bokeh in the Snow petite paper pack to make the envelope and stamps from the Toboggan Together set to decorate the front.

I used the Gingham Backdrops set to make a glittery background for my tag:

I chose the sweet little skunk from the special limited stamp set offered by Lawn Fawn to Black Friday shoppers and dressed him up with the hat and present in the Baaah Humbug set. Instead of "naughty or nice", I mixed a few of my Lawn Fawn sets to make a "skunky" sentiment.

And, don't forget about the current Lawnscaping Challenge...you could win a $25.00 gift card from the fabulous Ellen Hutson on-line store!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful weekend filled with lots of crafting time!

Goodie Bag Gift Envelope

Hi, everybody! Suzanne from the Facebook Inspiration Team here today to share a project I made with Lawn Fawn's Goodie Bag Lawn Cuts die. 

I first made this in March for the monthly FIT blog hop. Today's version is graduation-themed, but you can use different stamps to adapt the project for a different occasion. 

To make this project, you'll need the Goodie Bag Lawn Cuts die, smooth card stock (or patterned paper), a paper trimmer or scissors, adhesive. If you're stamping a design on the outside of the pocket, you'll also need ink and whatever you'd use to color the images. I chose Hats Off To You and a sentiment from So Much To Say for this tutorial.

You'll cut two panels with the die, just like if you were making a goodie bag. The trick to make the envelope is how you cut and assemble the pieces.

I recommend that you stamp and color the front and back panels after you trim your pieces, because you'll have a better surface to stamp and color.

As you can see in the picture above, you'll use the two bigger pieces for the front and back of the envelope. Instead of folding the smaller part for the sides and bottom, it's trimmed and re-attached to make enough space for a gift card. 

The black dotted lines mark where you cut the pieces, and the red lines show where you'll fold the smaller pieces before putting the envelope together. 

Here's what the pieces look like after they've been cut and before they're assembled. Even though it's hard to see on white card stock, you're folding along the score lines that are already there. I added red lines on the photo below so you have a better idea of where to fold each piece.

When I stuck the tabs on the panel, I lined up the edges of each folded tab with the panel so everything lined up easily. It's easier to attach the smaller bottom tab before attaching the side tabs. 

Here's what the inside looks like after the folded tabs are attached. The last step is lining up the top panel and attaching it to the bottom.

Here's another view of the finished envelope! It's small and thin enough to fit inside of a larger card, to give on its own, or it can be used as a tag to enclose a note with a larger gift. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope I've inspired you to make your own gift envelopes and to think of new ways to use your supplies!

Don't forget, there's still time to enter the current watercolor-themed Lawnscaping challenge! Check out the challenge post for all the details!

Easter Treat Bags

Hello, it's Sabine from the FIT. We are getting ready for Easter so I decided to make easy treat bags for my girls. 

I used the awesome goodie bag die, my all time favorite grassy border die, and the happy easter stamp set.

Fussy cut the bunnies and eggs

Glossy eggs, pink nose 

So now we are waiting for the Easter bunny to put some treats in there :)

Hugs, Sabine

Peek-A-Boo Bugs and Kisses Goodie Bags!

Hi, Lawnscapers! Suzanne here from the Facebook Inspiration Team to share some treat bags I made with Lawn Fawn's Goodie Bag Lawn Cuts die and the new Bugs and Kisses stamp set!

I modified the front of the bag to include a see-through window. I chose a heart die because it's a Valentine-themed bag, but you can customize the cut out to whatever occasion you're celebrating!

I cut both halves of the goodie bag from card stock, then cut a top layer for the bag front with the goodie bag die and some paper from the Let's Polka petite paper pad. Then, I tacked the die in place with some washi tape and added a small piece near the handle to keep both layers together as I ran them through my machine.

I used a piece of transparent film to make the layer for my bags, but I'm using vellum here so you can get a better look at how the layers come together. You'll adhere the clear piece between the paper and the card stock base, then adhere the patterned paper on top.

After you assemble both halves of the bag, you can add more decorations like I did and fill it with treats!  Here's another look at the finished bags:

Hope you are inspired to create your own peek-a-boo goodie bags for your next celebration! (For a full supply list, click HERE.)

And, there's still time to play along with our winter-themed mood board challenge, sponsored by Ellen Hutson! For all of the details on the challenge, and to link up your entry, just click HERE!

PURR-fect Birthday using Goodie Bag Die

Hello everyone!  Kari here to share with you a way to embellish the awesome new Goodie Bag for a cute little birthday gift.  I also used the adorable kitty image from Spooktacular!  I adore this kitty probably as much as I do the goodie bag die!

I die cut my goodie bag out of some Mint CS from SSS, and then I trimmed down a piece of white CS to help build my scene.  I stamped my kitty images from Spooktacular, and did a little masking, so it looks like they are sitting close to each other.  I colored them in with some Copic Markers and if you happen to follow me on any social media like Instagram, you know I am a fur baby mama to two sweet kitty's Daisy and Katie, and I just had to color them similar to my babies :)  I also used some images and elements from Critter's in the Burbs, one of my all time favorite LF sets, and one of my first that I purchased.  I also die cut some Lucky Limeade CS using the Grassy Border Die.  Once I had my scene stamped, inked, die-cut and adhered, I assembled my goodie bag, and placed my focal panel onto the bag, and to finished it off, added some chevron ribbon :)

And, do I spy shimmer!?  Of course, Wink of Stella had to make an appearance as well!! *grin*

I hope I was able to give you some ideas on how to decorate your goodie bags!  If you don't have this die I HIGHLY recommend it!!  :)  

Thanks for stopping by today!!   See you all soon!
