Stampin’ Up! UK Demonstrator Pootles – Pretty Petals Gift Bag Box Tutorial
Simple. That’s me and my way of crafting. I can’t do complicated, even though I love the look of it, and when Stampin’ Up! comes up with stunning new DSP papers, then it’s so much easier for me!
You all know what I’m like for a prettily shaped gift bag and while this one isn’t a new shape at all, the sizing is new to me, but the plainness of it is definitely a new one!
The DSP is so beautiful that rather than cover it, I wanted this project to be all about that and nothing more!
So I hope you like my video and perhaps show off your love for a pretty DSP too!

Isn’t it lovely paper???
Those papers are gorgeous, and they work so well with that twine. Creative Blessings, Tracy x
I’m in love with the twine!!
I live in Arkansas in the US, and I’ll often wake up in the middle of the night, check my inbox for your email, go try my hand at whatever you’ve posted, then go back bed, lol. This morning was one of those instances. I LOVE this project – you are so talented! Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us!
God Bless!

Oh Cathy! What are you like! I hope I help you sleep….. xxx
Hi Sam
I love this bag and I am going to make some to sell at a farmers market on Sunday.
Thank you for all your ideas.

Oooo would you take some photos and share them? Please? Xxx
Beautiful!!! The bag/box is so pretty, I couldn’t wait to make one – so I did! and it is gorgeous! I don’t have any Mint Macaron cardstock yet, so I used my new favourite – Tip Top Taupe and it looks and feels fabulous! (sorry for all the exclamation marks, I am a little over-excited.) Very Vanilla Thick Baker’s Twine is on my wish list, I will have to get some, I have it in Bermuda Bay and it is brilliant. Thank you for inspiring me, yet again. Now I must go and tidy my bedroom, after my improvised crafting session (I can’t see the bed!?!) Karen x
I adore the new twine. It’s so nice to work with x
Great sized gift bag, and the papers look so pretty on them! tfs!
I might have found my new favourite paper….
