Gift Wrapping is in the Bag!

One of the new products being introduced by Stampin’ Up! when the new annual catalog comes out next week is another Punch Board!  Yep, that’s right!  A Gift Bag Punch Board.  I’m so excited; this item ZOOMED to the TOP of my MUST HAVE List and I’m grateful that it was one of the items that demos’ could pre-order.

I quickly made use of my new Gift Bag Punch Board to make some gift packaging.  

This punch board will allow you to make gift bags in a variety of sizes; and punch holes in the top to thread a ribbon thru (as I did here) for a closure.  I decorated this for a birthday, but think of all the possibilities!  Any holiday or occassion, any color, any pattern of paper.  Ribbon, clothespins, fold & staple….there are so many ways to close the bags too!

After reading the included directions, I decided some serious video making was in order!  I’m not adverse to reading directions, but I did find they were difficult in some areas, and I really learn better from hands-on experience, and/or visual instruction.  I thought you might learn better that way too, so I’ve filmed this video.  While it is somewhat lengthy, I tried to be very detailed and show exactly step-by-step how to make different sized gift bags.

While you’re watching the video, please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you won’t miss any future video tutorials from me.  I’d also appreciate if you could share the video with anyone whom you think might enjoy it!

Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think!  I have more videos planned, but I’d also like to hear what YOU would like to see in a future video!

The new catalog goes LIVE on June 2nd – you can order this Gift Bag Punch  Board then! June 2nd is also the last day to order from the retiring catalog and from the Occasions catalog.  Check out the RETIRING LIST here; and make sure to order those items you’ve always had your eye before they are gone for good.
