Gift Bag Tutorial
Good Morning Ladies,
Well it's Friday again, we're heading towards the centre of July already, this year seems to be going faster than last year and that literally whizzed by! There are 24 more weeks until Christmas or 172 days! So we had better think about making a start on those Christmas Cards!!
Today's project is another 'Envelope Punch Board' project, I thought this would be great for Teacher presents or a lovely way to gift wrap any small gift, they are slightly larger that those other bags we all made a year or two ago and a lot easier to make, there's no measurements (other than on Envelope Punch Board), you'll be surprised how simple it is. You start with 12x12 piece of paper. Some of the samples of these boxes had ribbon for handles, I preferred using the matching paper to make the handle as it holds it shape better.
The only measurements required are:
1 piece 12 X 12 decorative paper, preferably double sided
1 piece 2 X 12 matching paper scored and folded in half. (For handle)
First put paper to 1 1/2 inch mark, punch & score
Rotate anti-clockwise
2nd put paper to 5 inch mark, punch and score
Rotate anti-clockwise
Repeat these 2 steps then.....
Flip paper over and..
Repeat as above.
The rest is easier to follow on the video to be honest.
This makes it sound complicated but it is so easy.
I can't wait to share more of the 1000's of projects for the Envelope Punch Board with you all.
I hope you enjoy the video ladies, if you do and you would like an Envelope Punch Board just let me know.

I am in no way pressuring anybody you but I feel that it wouldn't be fair if I didn't share these deals with all of you.

Have a lovely day ladies,
Love and hugs

Morning Everyone
ReplyDeleteSANDRA- two beautiful gift bags. I love the card you have used and they look a better size than our other bags.
Can they be made not using the punch board. I'll watch the video later.
We had another scorching day yesterday up to 35 and so not 'work healthy' therefore nothing got done.
MICHELE- congratulations on your Hubbies new job. At least that's one worrying thing off your list. Good luck for today and once again I'll be with you. I hope a solution is found.
We are having to leave Marigny his coming Tuesday instead of staying until the end of August. We have just had news that a very dear Friend of ours has been diagnosed with MDS which is a form of Leukeamia. There isn't a cure for this form but treatment is available by injections of one per day for seven days and then a break and then repeated. Jim has been taking him to hospital for tests etc as he is on his own and so will be taking him for his treatment.
We will see how things go and plan when we can get back here.
We're off to market this morning as usual before it gets too hot and then we'll see what happens.
I see the CAFE is OPEN for business so pop in for a cuppa and a chat. HUGE HUGS are winging their way to you all. xxxx
Sorry to hear about your friend. I'm sure u will be a great support for him x
DeleteI am so very sorry to hear your sad news Janet, you and Jim are so thoughtful,I'm sure your friend will be so comforted to hear that Jim will be beside him for his treatment. It's such a shame that your Marigny visit has to be cut short again this summer, it seems as though you have only just started to relax and settle in to French country life.
DeleteSending you both huge hugs xxxx
Hi Janet
DeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your friend. Hope you manage to change your homeward bound travel. It's lovely that you and Jim are going to support him through his treatment.
Hi Janet
DeleteSo sorry about your friend. He will appreciate you coming home & supporting him through his treatment.
Hope market was good & you enjoy your pastries.
Hug's xx
Morning Ladies
ReplyDeleteGorgeous gift bags Sandra. I'll watch the video tonight.
Met with my Union Representative yesterday-she seemed surprised that this issue required Mediation but said it wasn't a bad thing. The only problem is how long it's going to take to organise!!
Think I'm going to head into my craft room this evening as I have a list of cards I needs to make, mainly for the next car boot sale table although I do have a few days off next week.
Michele
Hi Michele
DeleteHopefully this issue won't take to long to resolve. I'm glad that you've a few days off next week to recharge your batteries.
Hi Michele
DeleteI hope the union representatives won't take long sorting the issue out& resolve it.
Enjoy your time off work.

Hi Sandra and ladies.
ReplyDeleteOoooh so cute. I'll def give these a go. I bought the punch board a few weeks ago. Still in its packaging of course. I'll get to it eventually lol.
Today I'm struggling. I've been quite upset this morning. My pal Janice popped in to make sure I was ok and her wee nephew Ben who's 2 was with her he's so funny and always cheers me up.
He's like aunty jani why aunty Tracy eyes wet? Is she sad? He's just so adorable. She said I just needed a Ben kiss n cuddle and that'd cheer me up so that's what he did lol.
Dinner was lovely too with the family last night.
See u all tomorrow xx
Hi Tracey
DeleteGentle hugs on the way to you. Take care.
Hi Tracy
DeleteGentle Hug's from me too.
Glad Janice popped in & you got cuddles from Ben.

Hi Sandra and ladies
ReplyDeleteLove the bags Sandra but as I'd probably only use it a few times, I can't warrant the spend, gentle hugs to all who need one today.
Hi Pat
DeleteHave you had hospital appointments today
Have a good rest over the weekend. How's your cough?
Big Hug's for you both xx
Hi Sandra & ladies
ReplyDeleteMy day has gone so fast after tidying up this morning. I had a blood 💉 Test
Although I had an appointment still waited 3/4hour another bruise.
Then went onto Tesco shopping.. on way home went to the small park gave Bambie a short walk.
Sandra I love your bags I didn't know you could do them with the envelope punch board do they come with projects instructions going to watch your video now. See you later Love Lynda xx
Hello All, another scorcher of a day, although a little breeze now.
ReplyDeleteSandra love your bags, I couldn't justify spending on another board as I know I wouldn't use it much. Good offers from stamping up but with my retirement comming up am being careful what I buy.
Hope you all had, have a good day, hugs Lilian.
Hello Sandra
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely welcome the other day. Your punchboard video last week was really helpful as I have one of these already and have to confess I have never used it!! However, I have a couple of busy weeks ahead including a craft room re- organisation and will then look at making some pretty bags and envelopes like yours. You made it look so simple!
Hope you and your Blog followers have a great weekend.
Lesley S x in very warm West Sussex!
