In the new catalogue, Stampin’ Up! is bringing out a gift bag punch board. I already have one – I picked it up in Michaels last year with my sister. So I can show you what it can make.

I have a couple of new Paper Pumpkin subscribers and I thought that it would be nice to give them a thank you gift. Plus I’m still on a kick to use up the leftover pieces from my July 2014 kit. I made the two bags out of one piece of DSP – it’s a retired paper from the holiday catalogue – I was looking for something with Soft Sky to match the sticker. The white satin ribbon is also from the kit – there was about a yard left over which was perfect to thread through the bag. The white tags are also from the kit – I added a circle of soft sky to the back to add a pop of colour, cut out using the circles framelits. The soft sky coloured heart is a sticker from the kit (there are twelve of these) and I used the included stamp set for the sentiment in lost lagoon. I happened to have a spool of the Painted blooms cotton twine in soft sky (it was in a crop goody bag) and it was perfect for tying the tag to the bag incorporating one of the kits silver stars. I was thrilled that I still had the tissue paper that the kit was wrapped in – it was perfect to put inside the bags. Now I just need to work on the contents!

See you tomorrow,
