Take Me to Spring Gift Bags + Punch Board Giveaway

February 18, 2014
Hello everyone! I started to notice that the weather is getting warmer and more people are wearing shorts and flip-flops around here in Arizona. I hope that today's project can bring a little sunshine to you if it is still cold there.
Since the "legendary" Envelope Punch Board, We R Memory Keepers has expanded the punch board family to five. I used Gift Bag punch board for today's project. All paper are from Pebbles Garden Party collection.
There are many combinations of paper sizes to make a variety of bags. I would like to share what I did and what I learned.
I like that it looks like a shopping bag and is big enough for gift cards and small treats! If you are using a patterned paper that has a direction, remember to turn the pattern to face yourself (toward the bottom of the board) when punching and scoring.
I love the idea of a reverse punch to punch out the holes! I die cut the scallop boarder, punched it with the reverse hole punch to adhere it to the front of the bag.
If you follow the instructions came with the board, all the bags you make will be 2" in depth. This bag was made from a half sheet of 12"x12" paper and will probably be my favorite size to make. I like to get myself out of the measuring game and just have fun decorating. I die cut a couple of pennants and a butterfly for this bag.
I'm keeping this bag myself. It makes me smile. Think how happy it would make a little girl feel when filled with colorful markers?!
My paper was 8" in length and had about 1/4" hanging off the punch board. The instruction suggests turning it around to extend the score lines. I left the end un-scored and it worked fine for me.
I tried the Wide Eyelets with Crop-A-Dile tool from We R Memory Keepers on both the yellow hexagon bag and this bag. This tool made setting eyelets very easy!
Here is a photo of the sides of the bags.

Butterfly Bag
Paper: 4"Hx12"W; Bag: 3-5/8"W x 2-11/16"H x 2"D

Yellow Hexagon Bag

Spring Floral Bag
Paper: 8"Hx10"W; Bag: 2-5/8"W x 6-11/16"H x 2"D

Lovely gift bags.
My favorite season is summer.

Thanks for the chance to win.

I love summer. I don’t care how hot it gets – It’s easier to cool off than to try to stay warm. thanks for the directions on making the bags. Hadn’t thought about using grommets to hold the bags closed. I’ll remember that tip for my gift bags. I have the envelope maker and would like to try some of the other tools. thanks for the chance to get one.
