Treat Bags

Hey guys!  Happy weekend!  When you read this, I’ll be getting ready to head south for the fun SpringSTAMPEDE!  There are four of us going from our team and we’ll get to spend the day with other demonstrators stamping and chatting and….eating bar-b-que! All the ingredients of a fun day, huh?

Just wanted to remind you that I will NOT be doing a FB live tonight – will be driving home about that time!  And…I’m pretty sure crafting-while-facebooking-while-driving is…frowned upon! 😉  But – I’ll be back on YouTube on Thursday at 1pm Eastern!

I wanted to take some little goodies with me to share with my table-mates, so…I pulled out some Copper-Dotted Treat Bags and decorated them with the Layered With Kindness stamp set and the coordinating Label Me Pretty and Label Me Fancy punches.  Take a look-see:

My color scheme – pink, orange and blue – is from this week’s Color Throwdown.

I started with a pack of the pretty Copper-Dotted Treat Bags from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog.  They’re perfectly sized to hold the Milano cookie packs I’d gotten!

The first thing I did was use the small little flower image in Layered With Kindness and stamped it all over the front of each bag in Petal Pink.

Then I folded the top down – I stuck a cookie pack inside to be sure that I left room for it – and punched two holes in the folded part of the bag.  I used a super-crafty hole punch – the one I bought from the school-supplies aisle at the grocery store! 😉

For the tag, I stamped the Happy Birthday image from Layered With Kindness in Versamark Ink on Terracotta Tile card stock.  Then I sprinkled it with Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heated it with my Heat Tool.  When it was cool, I punched it with the Label Me Lovely Punch.

On a piece of Whisper White, I stamped the For My Friend in Pretty Peacock.  I used a couple of sticky notes to mask off the flourishes on the stamp – I just wanted the words.  I punched them with the Label Me Fancy Punch.

I used the pretty flower from Layered With Kindness to stamp over the sentiment with Petal Pink ink.  Then, I used my Terracotta Tile Stampin’ Write Marker to add some faux stitches.

To make a larger tag – I cut a scallop-edge circle using the Circle Layering Dies to cut a piece of Copper Foil.  With a smaller smooth-side circle die, I cut out a piece of Petal Pink and embossed it in the new Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder.   This is part of the new Ornate Garden Suite – available to customers on 1 April!

I adhered the Petal Pink circle to the Copper Foil circle with Liquid Glue.  Then I used that high-dollar hole punch to make a hole in the top.

I added the punched out, copper-embossed Happy Birthday with more Liquid Glue.

Note: if you needed a birthday tag – you could stop right here and use this, yes? 🙂

But – I did not.  So…I popped my For My Friend label on with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stuck my cookies in the bags and then tied them up.  I used some of the new Terracotta Tile 1/4″ ribbon from the Ornate Garden Suite (avail 1 Apr) and I made one with Petal Pink 1/4″ Metallic-Edge Ribbon.

To tie the ribbon, I ran the ends from the back of the bag to the front, thru the two holes in the folded-over bag top…

…and then ran the ends thru the hole in the tag, from back to front, and tied a bow!

I added a Champagne Rhinestone and the tag was done.  And on the bag!

Et Voila!  Love the flower in the Layered With Kindness stamp set – and the fonts are beautiful and perfectly sized for the Label Me Fancy and Label Me Lovely punches.

And – not for nuthin’ – these two punches ALSO work perfectly with the new Tags In Bloom stamp set – a Sale-A-Bration Second Release product available for free with a $100 purchase (before shipping and tax) thru the end of Sale-A-Bration on 31 March!

I hope you like!!
