PTI Blog Hop :: Fresh Homemade Goodies :: Just for You, My Friend

Hey Everyone! I barely made it to the PTI Blog Hop! I was really rushing here placing the final touches on my gift bag. I chose the more traditional route and used a kraft gift bag I had in my craft supply and altered it for "Fresh Homemade Goodies...Just for you, My Friend!" So, here's a brown paper bag project that even adults can appreciate.

I was inspired by a segment on Good Morning America today that featured chalkboard sticky labels. I wanted to order them, but thought I could use my Spellbinders™ Labels Four die templates and some white ink to replicate the chalkboard concept. I really like how that part turned out!

Thanks for hopping by. Here are so more details on my gift bag.

Instructions

1. Trim polka dotted patterned paper and adhere to bag front.
2. Trim hawaiian shores cardstock strip and adhere to bag front.
3. Die cut scalloped edge border from felt and adhere to bag front.
4. Trim another hawaiian shores cardstock strip (slightly larger than the previous one) and adhere to the top part of the bag front.
5. Die cut jars, stamp insides and lids.
6. Stamp imitation fabric, cut out and assemble jars.
7. Adhere jars together.
8. Die cut label from black cardstock and stamp sentiments.
9. Die cut larger label from black cardstock. Stamp border and sentiment.
10. Punch hole and set eyelet.
11. Add ribbon and flower treatment and secure label on bag front.
12. Adhere stamped jars to the center of the bag.
13. Add tissue paper.
