Pinwheel Gift Bag

Hello, and welcome to my blog!

Today I've made this cute little pinwheel gift bag/pouch. I made this version to fit a coffee bag and I'll be making smaller ones to hold herbal tea bags as customer thank-you gifts.

I used the envelope punch board to score the diagonal folds that you need to make the pouch. I've been working on a way to make one without needing a punch board and if I get it all worked out I'll share it in a future tutorial. For now, though, here's how I made this pouch.

So quick and easy, isn't it?

Keep crafting!

Faceted gift bag

Hello, and welcome!

Today I'm sharing a project that I've CASe'd from a Dutch demo named Caroline van Straaten. I loved this gift bag so much, it's such a pretty shape!

Caroline used the Gift Bag Punch board in her project (and you can see how she did it here). I decided to see how it could be made without using the punch board, though. And it wasn't too difficult (although using the punch board would have made it easier). Here's my tutorial -

And if you'd like the measurements, well, here they are!

By the way, isn't the Painted with Love DSP simply stunning? So pretty!

You can find a link to the supplies I used below.

Anyway, thanks for visiting and

Keep crafting!

Crafty hugs,

InspireINK - Soft Kitty

Hello and welcome to my bit of the latest InspireINK Blog Hop!

This month's theme was set by the lovely Keila, and this time we've been given a sketch to work from.

I've chosen to make a scrapbook page based on the sketch.

One of the great advantages of scrapbooking is that you get to keep what you've made (unlike greetings cards, which you mostly give to other people) so you have all the fun of crafting and you still have the beautiful paper and embellishments you used when you've finished. I call that a win-win situation!
