Gifts Galore Paper Pumpkin

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one, to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

Today our hop features the November 2021 Gifts Galore Paper Pumpkin kit. I’ve decided to use the pieces a little differently so I could create 18 gift bags as an alternative project. (You will need to purchase more of the 3″ x 9″ printed gusseted bags as the kit only includes 9.) The kit contains a Christmas tree, snowman and stack of presents a small gift box that sits between two die cuts. I decided to use just one die cut per bag so I could have twice as many bags. I will package up a pair of socks, gloves, or toiletries as a gift. It will be great to have these on hand.

These are quick and easy to make. I started with the stack of presents and scored a line at 1″ on both sides and the bottom. On the sides I measured an inch from the furtherest edge. Then I snipped the vertical score lines on the bottom. (The same 1″ measurement was used on the snowman and the Christmas tree.)

Next, I turned the die cut right side up and added Multipurpose glue to each of the little flaps and glued them in place. The die cut could now “stand up” a bit.

Then I slid the die cut into a bag and added some red paper shred. The kit includes both banners and tags for decorating so I used the “Merry Christmas” and “Happy Holidays” stamps on the banners and the “To …From…” on the tags. (The tags are hiding on the other side of the bag.) The bags are now ready to add the gloves, socks, a candle or small bottle of body wash! There are so many possibilities of items that would fit.

I hope you’ve been inspired to be creative with how you use this Gifts Galore kit. Please “hop” along to see what our talented crafters have created with these same supplies.
