Label Something Gift Bag

I thought I’d share a little gift bag that I created this weekend.  I used pieces from the Tag a Bag Bundle and the Label Something stamp set from Stampin’ Up! to make this gift bag.  The Tag a Bag bundle includes 10 bags, 20 tags, 60′ of Baker’s Twine, 10 mini clothes pins, 40 Stampin’ Dimensionals and 5 Smoky Slate Self-Adhesive strips and it’s only $9.95!  In case you missed the bundle, you can find it on page 158-159 of the Annual Catalog.  I’m also giving you a sneak peek at the new Chevron Border Punch, which is available August 1 from the Holiday Catalog.  My design was inspired by the Freshly Made Sketches #96.

Today is the last day to order the Valentine Treat Bundle (132771) and the My Little Valentine Promotion (132242) from Stampin’ Up.  With the My Little Valentine Promotion, you get the My Little Valentine stamp set and the Sealed with Sealed Love Simply Sent Kit for $9.95.  With the Valentine Treat Bundle, you get the Happy Valentine Heart Single Stamp and a 50-count package of 1″ x 8″ cellophane bags for $5.95.  Both of the bundles are available in clear mount only.

Today I’m sharing some treat holders that I made with the two stamp sets.  The first treat holder was made using a small sauce jar, I thought that it was the perfect size for a little valentine gift.  I’m making these for the teachers for Valentine’s Day.

I’ll start with the flower bow on the Gumball Green bag.  I first saw these on Cathy Parlitsis’ website here.  She has a video tutorial showing you how to put the flowers together too so you can watch that if you’ve got a few minutes.  I made mine using a slightly different technique, this is how I made my flower:
