I think handmade cards are always a wonderful gift to give, and its even more fun to give them when they are packaged in a fun way such as this
Handmade Gift Bag for Handmade Cards!
Each time I host a Card Extravaganza, i make some time of card holder for each guest to put their cards and envelopes in. They can use these to give a gift to someone else, or to keep as a pattern so they can make more. This past Saturday, these are the Handmade Gift Bags everyone received.
They are all made from the Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper, one of the FREE Sale-a-bration choices. I love the variety of patterns in that set of papers! These are just a few of the bags I made so its good that they are quick and easy to make, as you can see in the how-to video below.
When completed, each bag was tied with ribbon from the Sycamore Street Ribbons & Buttons Pack, another FREE Sale-a-bration choice. I used coordinating card stock to make a tag with the Scallop Circle Punch and attached those with one of the Cute Clips. If you look closely, you can see the cute heart, whale, and bird clips. I left the tags black so they could be stamped or addressed for any occasion.

These bags are made to fit cards with envelopes, but, of course, you could use them for a wide variety of gifts. When you give a thoughtful gift, why stop at the gift itself? Go the extra distance and give a fun wrap that can be used over and over again!
