Fruity decorated gift bags

For those of you who are regular follows of my blog, know how much I love to decorate paper bags.  They make inexpensive gifts for my family and friends and they are super quick to create.  I am sharing with you the latest release of LD - I Pine For You product which is super cute.

then select each image on LD website to view the product in each set.

I stamped my paper bag with a random splatter stamp matching the ink with my images.  I adhered a strip of washi tape to the bottom of my bags.....told you this was a quick project.

I then printed my sheet of LD I Pine For You (PR) printables using my printer settings so that I could get 9 images onto one sheet of printer paper.  

I then trimmed the printable images using my paper trimmer and attached them to my kraft banner tags which I cut using my Pazzles Inspiration Vue cutting machine.

I love how they turned out, but now I have the difficult decision to choose who gets which bag!!!!

The reason being is that if you hurry, it is FREE till midnight, tonight MST.  After tonight, when the offer ends you will be able to purchase it at it's original price. But we all love FREE files, don't we,

so don't waste any time and click the link to take you to the file.

 The FREE file is available in graphics (GS) or as a cutting file (CP), and is intended 

to stick a lollipop through the middle.

I thought it would make a lovely embellishment for my gasoline bag.  I simply cut out and layered the elements using bright cardstock, using my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine.

I then added a sentiment onto a paper tag using the SNF Sunday Love (FN) font.

There you have it, a simple embellishment, that will always come in handy for those quick projects.

Friend-ship Decorated Paper Bag - LD Freebie Papers

Just thought I would share with you, a project using LD FREEBIE papers (offer for a limited period).  Never ignore FREEBIES, as they always come in handy for those quick projects. So here goes, my decorated paper back with a Sailing theme! 

I imported the papers into my Pazzles InVue software and cropped the image to give me the borders for my bag.  Once printed out using my software I used a paper trimmer to cut the papers.

The ship was taken from the LD Friend-ship (GS).  I printed it out using a circle tag for speed, and layered it on a circle scallop using orange cardstock, then layered it onto some blue cardstock.

I Print and Cut the Friendship sentiment from the same Graphic Set used above. Using my 

Pazzles Inspiration Vue which uses an optical eye, makes it so easy to cut out toppers 

for my projects......I love it!

Print and Cut using my Pazzles Inspiration Vue

The LD Friend-ship (PP) - FREEBIE is available this weekend till, midnight MST Feb. 29th.  When the offer ends you are still able to purchase it but it will revert to the original price.

Easy decorated paper bag

I thought I would make a quick decorated bag for my daughter who is going on a German exchange with the school from the UK.  I bought her some gorgeous gloves to keep herself warm during the cold weather for her trip.  

I used one of the images from the LD Winter Wear (GS), can you spot it?  There are some adorable winter images for cardmaking, scrapbooking and papercraft projects.

I purchased a plain white handled paper bag from a local craft shop.  I selected the graphic image, printed the design for the front of my bag using my printer options and cut around the edges with my paper trimmer.  I layered the printed design onto some white and blue cardstock for the front of my bag.  I used a distressing tool around the edges of the blue cardstock and adhered 2 rhinestones to the centre of the gloves.

I brought the graphic file into my Pazzles software, resized the tag and printed it out.  Again I used my paper trimmer to cut it out.

It looks so cute and I love the cool winter colours.

I think my daughter will be delighted with her dressed up gift.

Bye for now.

Decorated Paper Bag

As soon as I saw This Mum's For You - Cut It set by LD, I couldn't wait to grab my pretty pink papers and cut it out using my Pazzles Inspiration cutting machine.

The flower comes in 2 layers with the leaves included in the set. 

I cut a strip of patterned paper to my wooden clothes peg and added a fabric flower.

I don't often decorate paper bags, but I should do so more often, as it was so quick and easy.  Much prettier than those ghastly shop bought gift bags that cost a fortune!
