TREAT BAGS

Good Morning Crafty people... Isha Here

Do you like treats ?? I am sure we all love treats.
We have so many occasions around where we share treats with each other, How about adding some personal touch to make it more special.

Today I will be sharing some of the gifting ideas which can be perfect for return favour gifts. In my post I have used sizzix purse die but you can use any dies to make your cute little treat bags.
Our store have many options to offer for these bag/purse dies.

                                                              Aren't they CUTE ???

Making these bags was so much fun and I actually loved the way we can use our supplies to make perfect gifting solutions.
I have fun video tutorial where you can see How I have constructed these treat bags using my Dress my craft Card stock - floral oriental collection. These card stock are quiet sturdy actually with 285 gsm of weight. I have used many more DMC supplies but my personal favourite SPARKLING DUST.

 Let's take a look how to make these treat bags - VIDEO TUTORIAL

A bag, a tag and a tutorial!

Hello everyone!

I have made a gift bag and a matching tag to share with you. I also have a small tutorial for you. An easy one.

First let me show you the bag and tag...

I made that front panel with distress paints. These work amazing for back grounds. Mine isn't perfect but I like it! :p

This is the rear side of the bag. Kept it very simple...

 Made a similar BG fro the tag also.

Do you want to know how I made the background and those flourishes on the BG?

Here is a small tutorial for you..

Sorry for the bad pictures..

Supplies required-
1. Distress paints (Available in Crafters Corner. Not uploaded but contact Shalini in case you want to buy these awesome paints.)- I have used Fired brick and wild honey distress paints.
2. Water colour paper
3.Craft mat or a laminated sheet
4. Mini mister (or just anything to spray some water to blend the paints)
5. An embossing folder- I have used a cuttle bug embossing folder.
6. Distress ink - I have used worn lipstick distress ink here

Step 1. Select distress paints of your choice.
Step 2. Dab them onto a craft mat
step 3. Spray lots of water
step 4. press down a water colour paper onto the paints on the craft mat. Swirl it if you don't mind blending the colours. Mine is a bit messy but I like the final look of it.
Paints once dry dont blend when you add an extra coating. This lets you achieve brighter colours. So I took some extra wild honey colour onto my paper.
Step 5. Take an embossing folder. As you all are aware there are two sides to an embossing folder. One thats smooth and another that's not smooth. Apply distress ink to the side of the folder which is NOT SMOOTH.
Step 6. Just press it down on to the BG you have already made...

Simple, isn't it? :)

I want to thank the person who helped me by sending her embossing folders without which I wouldn't have been able to do THIS post.  It wouldn't have been possible without your help girlie! Love you! :)

So that's it for now. Have you played along our current challenge which is 'gifts galore'? You have five more days to play along.  And the prize is...

The winner will get to choose TWO distress stains of their choice from a very wide range of colours!  Isn't that great? :-)

Any queries, send a mail to Shalini at info@crafterscorner.in.
Any questions about the project or tutorial in this post, I'll be glad to answer. 

See you.. Take care!

Love
Sindhu..

Treat bag for special occasion! & a Tutorial :)

Hi everyone,
This is Hussena  here to share with you all a treat bag which can be used for all those special occasions like the upcoming Diwali festival or birthdays or just about any occasions...These are tiny bags & can hold small chocolate bars very easily..This can also be used to gift some cards or even money to your near & dear ones!...The list is endless & up to your discretion .. :)...So here's a look at the treat bags first :-

                                                                   
And another one :-          

                                                             

 Supplies used :-

For the Orange  Treat Bag :-
Spellbinders Label 8- Available at Crafter's Corner
Stamp -Fancy Pant Designs- Crafter's Corner
Sentiment & cupcake- TPC Studio -Also available at Crafter's Corner
Faux Stitching & hair coloring of the image done with Tim Holtz Distress marker -Vintage Photo-Crafter's Corner

Punch Bunch- 3 in 1 Hydragena -Also available at Crafter's Corner
Faux Stitching- Tim Holtz Distress marker- Vintage Photo

And now for the tutorial on How to make this bag :-

 Step 1- Take a 6 1/2 inches * 61/2 inches CS.

                                                                                                               
Step 2- Mark 1 side of the CS into 1 1/2 inches * 3 1/2 inches * 1 1/2 inches & another side of the CS mark 2 1/2 inches * 1 1/2 inches * 2 1/2 inches...Like I have done in the picture below.

                                                                                           

  Step 3-Now score on the marked lines.Though i have to add please do not use pencil to create the lines the way i have done...I have done it only to make the step clearer to explain...if you draw these lines it will be difficult to remove the marks completely leaving untidy mess behind.

 
Step 4-After,you have scored on all the lines  ,cut the 1 1/2 inch line in the middle on both  sides of the CS as shown in the picture...Do not cut all the way through..Just up to where all the lines intersect.

Step 5-After you have cut on both the sides ,fold them using a bone folder as shown below.

                                                                                                                                                                                           
Step 6-Now fold the rest of the scored lines as shown below.This will give you the basic shape of the treat bag.

Step 7-After all the sides have been folded & scored properly ,glue the sides as shown below by placing the 1 1/2 inch fold inside & overlapping it with the TWO 2 1/2 inch sides.
 

Step 8- After the treat bag has been glued , now place the label dies both in the front & the back side & embellish it as you want for whichever occasion you want to create.

                                           
Hope I have explained the tutorial properly...And you all like my treat bags !...Please do leave me your Comments /Suggestions & if you have any enquiry regarding the products listed here please do drop in a mail to Shalini at  : mshalini79@yahoo.com & She will definitely get back to you
