So Grateful

Have you seen all of the new products that hit the online store yesterday? There are so many wonderful new suites and bundles that it’s a little hard to choose a favorite! But one of the new bundles that ranks at the top is the Notes & Totes bundle that we’re using today to make a cute little giftie to go with mom’s handmade card.

This might look a little overwhelming, but the dies make it super easy to create this cute little gift bag! I’ve filled this one with a gift card, some stickies, and chocolates. And there’s still room for a little tube of hand cream or lip gloss if you wanted to throw one in.

To get started, we cut the sides of the bag out of Timeless Plaid with the largest Notes & Totes die. Fold along the score lines and then adhere together with tear-n-tape. To give the look of leather, I cut the straps and accent pieces for the bag out of Crumb Cake cardstock. Adhere the vertical straps first and then the piece on the bottom of the bag with tear-n-tape. I used glue dots to adhere the handles and accent pieces on each side of the bag. I tied a small bow of Pretty in Pink bordered ribbon around one strap and then filled the bag with goodies. I cut a small notecard with the included die and then stamped the sentiment from Notes & Totes in Melon Mambo and tucked it in the bag amongst the goodies. Voila! A cute little something to leave next to mom’s coffee!

I’ll be back on Friday with some more inspiration for Mother’s Day. I hope you’ll pop in!
