Welcome to the Stampin Dreams blog hop!
The theme for today's hop is Christmas. Come and take a look at what myself and Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all over the world have been creating!
To view all of the other projects, scroll down this page and find where it says 'You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!' and click the button underneath. Then simply click each photo in the gallery to check out each creation!
We do hope you find lots of inspiration here today for your Christmas papercraft projects!
You can learn how I created these treat bags by watching my video tutorial, which you'll find further down this page.
I have created these treat bags several times but this is a new, larger size standing at just under 7" tall.
To decorate my treat bag I used the Layering Circles dies to die cut the largest scallop circle in Pool Party cardstock and the largest circle in Whisper White cardstock.
I chose a sentiment from the Trimming the Town DSP (below right) that would fit within my die cut circle.
I then fussy cut a selection of houses from another sheet of the Trimming the Town DSP (below left). Starting from the middle, I positioned the houses above the sentiment, so that they slightly overlapped each other and did not exceed the width of the sentiment.
To learn how to make my treat bag, you can watch my video tutorial.
If you want to get everything prepared in advance, you will need a piece of patterned paper measuring 7 1/2" by 7 1/2".
Grab your scoreboard, scissors, bone folder and double-sided tape and note that all measurements are in inches
Score at 2 1/8"
Turn the paper clockwise once
Score at 2 1/8" (to the score line)
Score at 4 1/4"
Score at 6 3/8" (to the score line)
Score at 8 1/2"
I also have video tutorials for two different sized versions of this treat bag -
Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you enjoyed my video tutorial!

Boho Indigo DSP Series - Treat Bag (remaking an old favourite!!)
Saturday, July 18, 2020 Bridgwater, UK
Today I am remaking an old favourite! It's my super simple Treat Bag / Gift Bag (whatever you want to call it!) made using just one sheet of 6" x 6" DSP
This is an original design of mine that I created way back in 2016. In fact, this design features in two of my most popular blog posts ever! It's been CASED many times too!
I've got lot's of other projects to show you too and very soon the new Mini Catalogue will be released featuring the new seasonal range! Are you ready for Christmas?
While this is the third time I've blogged about this little bag, I've made it countless times. Why don't you try making it? I promise you, you will find it so useful for gifting little treats or jewelry. They would be great for wedding favours too!
To make this bag you will need a piece of 6" x 6" piece of Designer Series Paper - for your first make it's probably easier to use a pattern that has no specific direction!
You will need to score the DSP as follows:
- Score at 1 3/8"
- Turn paper clockwise
- Score at 1 3/8" (only to the score line)
- Score at 2 3/4"
- Score at 4 1/8" (only to the score line)
- Score at 5 1/2"
Once you have done this, find your scissors, bone folder and some double sided tape and watch this old video of mine which shows you exactly how to make this style gift bag - just remember I'm using DSP and stamps that have now retired!
Well, that was easy wasn't it!
Did you know you can make 48 of these treat bags from the Boho Indigo Product Medley or Refill?
To decorate my Boho Indigo DSP treat bag, I've die cut a circle from the Stitched Shapes dies from Very Vanilla cardstock and added a Misty Moonlight scalloped circle behind it using the Layering Circles dies. I stamped a sentiment from the Forever Fern stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink onto the Very Vanilla stitched circle.
To embellish the bag, I've die cut the teeny flowers from the Well Written Dies and added a Basic Rhinestone in the centre. I've used the Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon and the thread from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack to secure the bag
I've been busy filming new videos in the last week and I'm excited to say that I have a thank you card video tutorial which will be coming out very soon!
I've also finished filming my Shadow Box Book Card Tutorial which is now available for you to purchase right here on my blog! Just click the banner below to find out more!

Tuesday, April 4, 2017 Somerset, UK
Here is a quick card from me today which I am entering into this weeks Global Design Project #081 Colour Challenge using the colours below.
This was a set I made at a craft day I held on Sunday. You may have seen the gift bag before as I designed this first and then added a matching card at a later date.
I have a YouTube video for the bag which is completely my own design, I would love for you to check this out as it's my first YouTube tutorial.
If you would like to order any of the products I have used, please let me know!
Floral Boutique Treat Bag Swap & My First YouTube Tutorial!
Saturday, February 18, 2017 Somerset, UK
Tomorrow I am attending an event that my upline Michelle Last has arranged for Stampin' Up! Demonstrators in her downline. I'm really looking forward to it as I've not see my good friends Baz and Sasha since November and I can't wait to have a catch up with them. Of course I am looking forward to seeing everyone else and also to do some much needed crafting!! Michelle designs the most beautiful projects and its really nice to sit back and make something that someone else has designed.
I made a treat bag in this style back in December and I had lots of lovely people comment on my blog and email me asking for a tutorial. I am pleased to say that I have finally plucked up the courage and made a YouTube tutorial - I hope you like it and please do let me know by liking it or subscribing to my channel.
I designed this treat bag myself, I think its quite unusual as it has a square base and curved sides. Its super quick to make and its the perfect size to hold a few treats. From one pack of 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, you can make 48 of these bags!
To make this bag you need a 6" x 6" piece of Designer Series Paper and score as follows:
- Score at 1 3/8"
- Turn paper clockwise
- Score at 1 3/8" (only to the score line)
- Score at 2 3/4"
- Score at 4 1/8" (only to the score line)
- Score at 5 1/2"
You can click here to go to YouTube to watch my tutorial or you can click on the play button below.
To make this project you can buy the products I have used from my Online Shop which can be found in the menu bar at the top of the screen. All the products are listed below under labels - you can also find the product names and the product codes on my video as I use each product, please do contact me through my social media channels if you have any questions at all.
Christmas Treat Bags using 6" x 6" Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper by Stampin' Up!
Thursday, December 22, 2016 Somerset, UK
Time has gone by so quickly and unfortunately I never got a chance to make any handmade Christmas cards this year. It's such as shame as I had so much lovely product to use. Thankfully I managed to quickly whip up 21 of these ever so cute gift bags for my team and my colleagues at work. They are really quick to cut and build - but they take a little longer to embellish.
They contain a few chocolate Celebrations. We've already gone through quite a few boxes of Celebrations and other treats in the office so these gifts were more a token of my appreciation for all the team's hard work this year. I hope they liked receiving them!
I'm actually quite proud of these little treat bags, they are my first original design!! Its more than likely someone, somewhere in the world would have also made this shape bag but I certainly haven't seen them before.
The collage below shows the shape of the bag a little better. It's super simple to make and if anyone is interested, please make sure you leave a comment asking me to publish the instructions. If I get a good response, it might just tempt me to do my first YouTube video.
EDIT - Here is my tutorial (I'm using different DSP) where I show you how I made these treat bags!
Finally, I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you and your families a wonderful Christmas and New Year. I would also like to say thank you to all my followers and subscribers across all channels for following and supporting me for the past two and a half years. I am so pleased you found something, either on my blog or my social media pages - that you liked enough for you to subscribe or follow me - thank you!
Have a great time this Christmas everyone and stay safe x
p.s my broadband is only just up and running again so hopefully I'll be back to blogging regularly again the the New Year. Currently I have a speed of 3.5 mb, so wish me luck!
Tomorrow I am going to the Quarterly Training event my upline Michelle Last holds for her first 3 levels of her downline. There are 30 of us going altogether so I've made enough swaps for everyone plus a few extra. I can't wait to go, we are going to have 4 make and takes, some additional classes and time to catch up with each other and share crafting stories.
I try to make something different every time I make swaps. Click here to look at my past creations which include gift boxes, notebooks, party favours & card fronts.
This time I decided to make some gift bags to hold some yummy sweet treats. I looked through my DPS stacks and chose 8 coordinating colours - Pear Pizazz, Blushing Bride, Wisteria Wonder, Soft Sky & Pool Party (Subtles), Smokey Slate, Sahara Sand (Neutrals) & Lost Lagoon (In Colour 2014-16). While there are 4 different patterns in these stacks, I decided to use the diagonal striped pattern and the large polka dot pattern. I love these patterns, especially for Christmas!
I followed instructions from the Chic 'N' Scratch blog where Angie Juda posts video tutorials on how to make the bags.
I love the internet for inspiration - YouTube, Blogs, Pinterest, Twitter - its really helpful that demos share how they make gift boxes & bags. I often go to other demos sites for the measurements (why reinvent the wheel!) but I always come up with the design myself.
I have used the Holly Jolly Bundle which includes the Holly Jolly Greetings stamp set and the Christmas Greetings Thinlit Dies. I love the sentiments cut out with these dies.
Here are all 8 designs, I actually made 4 of each - 32 in total!
Pear Pizazz, Gold Glimmer Paper & Gold Satin Ribbon
Lost Lagoon, Silver Glimmer Paper & White Satin Ribbon
Blushing Bride, Gold Glimmer Paper & Gold Satin Ribbon
Wisteria Wonder, Silver Glimmer Paper & White Satin Ribbon
Soft Sky, Silver Glimmer Paper & Silver Satin Ribbon
Smokey Slate, Black Glimmer Paper & White Satin Ribbon
Sahara Sand, Gold glimmer Paper & Gold Satin Ribbon
Pool Party, Silver Glimmer Paper & Silver Satin Ribbon
Here are the tools & adhesives I used to make this project
I have made some cute but deadly Halloween Treat Bags to show you today. I think these would be perfect to hold some sweets or chocolates for you to give to your friends and family on All Hallows' Eve.
You can make your gift bags (or boxes) whatever size you want (as long as you don't need your paper to be bigger than 12" x 12"). I've used the fantastic Happy Haunting DSP again which I've already showcased twice in two different projects - my Halloween Party Invitations and another version of a Treat Bag.
I have stamped the deadly poison bottles from the Sweet Hauntings stamp set onto Basic Black cardstock using Whisper White Craft ink. I managed to do some fussy cutting to cut out the poison bottles by hand. I layered the cut out images on top of a Tangelo Twist Scallop Circle and a 2" Circle punched out of Very Vanilla Cardstock, already stamped with the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set using Tangelo Twist ink & Basic Black Archival ink.
I also stamped a gravestone (aka note tag) using the same method but punched this out with my Note Tag Punch and attached this to secure the bag with a Mini Metallic Clothespin.
That's its for now, I'll be back on Saturday with the swaps I have made for a Quarterly Training Event I am going to on Sunday arranged by my upline Michelle Last. Check out my Facebook, Instagram or Twitter pages to see a sneek peek of my project. I've made 30 in total!
