Gilded Autumn Teacher Gifts Plus GIVEAWAY!

 Happy Saturday!

I'm coming back to you for a post that features the Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper (DSP).I've been playing quite a bit with this paper because I love it so much! The paper has elegant designs in earthy colors, just in time for the fall season. Copper foil and gold foil are on some designs. The awesome part about this paper too is that some designs can be cut out using the Autumn Punch Pack.

 I created a few teacher gifts for the sincere appreciation I have for helping my boys out at their daycare while I do some work from home.

I created these gift bags to match each hand soap that I purchased from Bath & Body Works: Autumn Rainfall, Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin, Sunshine & Lemons, Afternoon Apple Picking.

The gift bags were made using the (now retired) Stampin'  UP! gift bag punch board. 

Finished size is 2 3/4" W x 2" D x 6" H

More tips on how I made the gift bags towards the bottom of this post.

Tips for creating the gift Bag

• I decided that I wanted the top portion of the hand soap to be visible in the gift bag so the height of the bag is 6". Finished size is 2 3/4" W x 2" D x 6" H. 
• Use a 7 1/4" x 10" piece of Crumb Cake cardstock and use it with the punch board to create the box. If you don't have the punch board, you can simply follow the score lines and trim off the sections as shown below:

• Use a hold punch to punch two holes on both sides of the gift bag in order to thread your ribbon thru and tie a knot on the inside.

So what do you think?! I sure hope you like these little gift bags as much as I do and that you were inspired to create a gift bag for whomever you want.
