Transform a Simple Paper Bag into a Beautiful Gift Bag

By Anna Escalada York

– I wanted to decorate a small brown bag before reusing it as a gift bag for a coworker’s gift. This card was quick and easy but looks really pretty and features VersaFine Clair Inks.

Skill: Beginner
Time: 1 hour

Directions

Step 1:
Stamp a solid organic circle shape with Lemonade VersaFine Clair Ink on the edges of a small brown paper bag. Repeat on the back of the bag.

Step 2:
Quickly stamp two different solid leaf stamps with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink over the two Lemonade circles. Add clear embossing powder over both the Lemonade-colored circles and the black leaves and heat emboss them. Repeat the process on the back of the bag.

Step 3:
Stamp the splatter wreath twice on the bag with Baby Pink VersaFine Clair Ink–once on the upper right corner of the bag and once on the central right part of the bag. Then heat emboss with more clear embossing powder. Repeat on the other side of the bag.

Step 4:
Stamp a row of small hearts on the bag twice with Dahlia Purple VersaFine Clair Ink. Heat emboss with more clear embossing powder. Repeat on the back of the bag.

Step 5:
Stamp the same solid leaf stamps from step 2 with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink inside the splatter leaf stamps. Heat emboss with more clear embossing powder. Repeat on the back side of the bag.
