Say that 3 times fast:). The October Paper Pumpkin kit is a beauty! As soon as I opened it, I knew this silver foiled envelope would have to be a treat bag! Envelopes make fun candy pouches. This one is quite narrow as I wanted as much off the silver folded tree detail as possible to show.
October is on it’s last (just wow) If you missed this Paper Pumpkin kit – there is plenty of time to get in on the November Kit! I will talk it up at the end of this post with links for PP fun!
This bag has gusseted sides and a flat bottom reinforced with a strip of chipboard inside to help stabilize the bag.
How to:
Using the Paper Trimmer to cut flap off- keep this- this lovely buffalo check inside makes great layers for other projects
Score the 3 closed sides 1/2″ on each side. Flip the envelope over to score the other side at same 1/2″ you want a good score line.
Burnish the score lines well ( back & forth several times)
Place your hand inside the envelope to open the gussets and flatten the bottom.
The corners of the envelop will make tiny flaps- squeeze these down and place a 1/2″ pc of tape as close to the point as you can. Fold the little tabs down to adhere.
Cut a piece of chipboard slightly under this measurement 1″ x 4 3/4″to place inside.
Decorate as you like. I had fun with the stamp set and ink from this months kit.
Fill with candy, a gift card or other treats. Staple or Tape to close.
I used the flap cut-away envelope flap piece from the previous project for this cute little tag. As well, I cut a corner from one of the card bases. (OOPS my tag is crooked, I didn’t notice until I put this photo into the blog article!)
I truly love the Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon. It coordinates with Shaded Spruce so well!
This bread isn’t really a hold over for the holidays but it sure gives you a great idea huh!
This lovely loaf got a ribbon and tag swap for my Dad’s birthday!
This tag gets the ‘ no ink goes to waste’ treatment! While stamping the tag for the bread gift above – I used the silicone craft sheet and this was what was left behind…
I grabbed a square of white cardstock and placed it right over the ink.
I continued to lift the stamped images right off the silicone mat until the square had nice coverage- it looks kind of messy at first but look at how it turned into a cute tag!
Here is the finished tag one more time. Adding a line of trees & greeting from the Paper Pumpkin stamp set and a red banner from the kit. Gift Tags made easy!
It will be cute on any holiday homemade kitchen gift!
One more idea- Which really isn’t an idea as much as it’s a try to be creative in using up all the pieces in the kit and not wasting lovely cardstock. I stole a corner from the card shown below to make the bread tag. This card base is so pretty I didn’t want it to just sit in the box!
As well, while popping out all the red banner pieces I was pondering this…
How to use that cut piece closest to the scissors. This is what I did. ( not sure I’m in love with this card – but it’s in the Christmas Card pile now:). I wanted some of this grey snowflake pattern on the bread tag so I just nipped a corner from this card.
Seriously, my thought went along the lines of – “ok, genius now what?”.
Who else talks to themselves when crafting and occasionally ‘suzy sarcasm’ comes out? 🙂
Using those scraps from the banners, the cut off envelope flap and the lovely silver Noel from the kit the card turned out to be A-ok. The envelope flap piece: I couldn’t let that beautiful Shaded Spruce buffalo check pattern go to waste ya know…
Extra’s used in these projects ~ not part of the Paper Pumpkin kit.
