Gingerbread Gift Bags

It is true to say that I love making gift packaging projects.  Since, receiving my Inspiration Vue (99.00 Dollar Special) electronic cutter, I have loved the ability to create more and more Print and Cut projects using graphics and paper pieced projects.

For my Gingerbread Gift Bags, I altered a cereal box cutting file found in the Pazzles Craft Library and created a couple of gift bags.  The gift bag on the left uses a MK - Gingerbread Girl cutting file which I Print and Cut.  The gift bag on the right uses the same cutting file which I have resized.  I have made a couple of outlines for the thin border and created a Gingerbread Girl aperture to reveal a sneak peek of the Gingerbread biscuits inside.

Please make sure you head over to the Pazzles Craft Room, to read my FULL blog post. For Pazzles Craft Room members, I have made available a FREE download of both Gift Bags, available in wpc and svg file formats over in the Pazzles Craft Room.

Have fun creating your own gift bags, and I would love you to share your projects using the FREE Gift Bags cutting file on my facebook page ~ Joanna x

"Dear Santa" decorated paper bag

A few days ago I posted my first decorated brown paper bag and was so surprised at how incredibly easy it was to create, so I have made another one!  

I have cut up a panel from the Graphic 45 - Twas the Night Before Christmas, paper collection and inked around the edges using a red ink pad.  I adhered my SRM Stickers "Dear Santa" to the bottom of the brown bag.  

I punched out some snowflakes out of coordinated papers from the collection and added a self adhesive pearl to the centre.

Finally, I added a red stitched ribbon and button, then tied it together using some Kraft twine.

Yes, it's that simple.

Supplies :-

Twas The Night Before Christmas paper collection - Graphic 45

Ribbon, button and pearls - The Mulberry Bush

Paper bag and "Dear Santa" - SRM stickers

Print and Cut your own Christmas Labels

Here are my Christmas Labels created for my latest Pazzles Design Team project over on the Pazzles Blog.  I decided to use ordinary brown parcel wrapping paper available from the Post Office or Office Supplier........nothing fancy or expensive.  I then wrapped up my presents using pretty ribbons and embellishments.

Now, the fun part.......I arranged an assortment of cutting files onto my visual cutting mat and made an outline of each design.  I then Print and Cut my label sheet using my 

Pazzles Inspiration Vue (99.00 Dollar Special) which cut them out perfectly! 

Once, the presents were wrapped, all I needed to do was to weed my sticker paper and I was left with a sheet of Christmas labels ready to decorate my presents.

For the label below, I added a decorative pearl to the centre.

The labels are so pretty combined with the brown wrapping paper and ribbons, that I think I may need to make some labels for gifts throughout the year!

I was so impressed with the Print and Cut accuracy
of my Pazzles Inspiration Vue (99.00 Dollar Special).

Please make sure you head over to the Pazzles Craft Room, to read my FULL blog post and see details of specific cutting files used for this project.

Have fun creating your own Christmas Labels, which is way more fun
that buying labels in the shops!

Vinyl Snowman Gift Jar

I had such fun filling up this glass jar with Toffee Snowball sweets for my Snowman Gift Jar. 

 I decorated it using the LD Melting For You (CS) with vinyl and my Pazzles Inspiration Vue  - electronic cutter ($99 special price).  Super easy to create and the kiddos love it.

I Print and Cut my topper for the top of my jar using the sentiment included in the same set.

Decorated Kraft Paper Bags

I recently purchased some Kraft paper bags and Christmas stickers from SRM stickers and thought I would see how quickly I could pretty them up!

I cut out a panel from a sheet of Kaisercraft - North Pole patterned papers and adhered to the front of my paper bag.  I then took a fine liner and doodled around the edges around the panel. 

I made a pretty bow with some embellishments that coordinated with the papers to add to the top of the bag.

 I  took part of a sticker that I cut down, to adhere at an angle on 2 corners of my printed panel.

Yes, it's that easy!

Now, I am off to decorate some more paper bags using some panels from my patterned papers.

Supplies :-

North Pole collection - Kaisercraft

Ribbon, pearl and snowflake embellishments - The Mulberry Bush

Paper bag and Merry Christmas Sticker - SRM stickers

Pazzles Holiday Hop : Action Wobble Reindeer

Hi, and thank you for joining me and the rest of the Pazzles Design Team at the
Pazzles Holiday Hop for some FUN Christmas projects.

For my project, I have made a 3D Reindeer gift box using my Pazzles Inspiration 
with the following files :-

Tall Pyramid Box and MK - Cute Reindeer Head - membership required to the Pazzles Craft Room.

JOIN the Pazzles Craft Room which includes Pazzles Library files in svg and wpc file formats.

I cut the Tall Pyramid Box which opens up to reveal treats or a small gift.  I then added the Cute Reindeer Head to the front of the box.  I think I am love with this project and it was super easy to create using my cutting machine.

 I cut the reindeer head out of Kraft cardstock as I did the triangular box.

I used brown, pink and red cardstock for the rest of the reindeer.  

I added some doodling, using a white pen and added my bow and bell as embellishment.

Finally, for a bit of fun I thought I would secure the reindeer head with an Action Wobble Spring!

Oh, I just love how it wobbles and even his little bell jingles!

Pilgrim Hat Gift Box for Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American followers here on my blog.  I am so thankful for each one of you following my projects, and for all your lovely comments over the past year.

I know you will all be busy having a lovely festive time with your family, but I was intending to post this earlier in the week, but that's another story!

I created this Pilgrim Hat by altering the Hat, which is included in the download of the Turkey Box Remake Set set available in the Pazzles Craft Room by Klo Oxford.  The Turkey Box set is simply adorable, but I knew that I could use the other elements included in the set with my Pazzles Inspiration.  

I resized the box container using the original box to fit my Pilgrim Hat.  I also welded the hat elements to attach to the front and back of the box. Ta dah.....I had a simple Pilgrim Hat Gift Box!

I used some distressed papers for my box and wrapped up my M&M's in a cello bag, then popped them inside my box.

I then used a sticker sentiment from SRM stickers which I adhered to coordinating papers.

Just a quick gift that you could make in multiples or add as a table decoration.
