Easy paper tote bag - treat holder - Video Post
May 20, 2015
I'm loving the new Stampin' Up! in colours and today I'm sharing a video tutorial to show you not only how I make easy paper tote bags but the new designer series paper stack Cherry on top. Stampin' Up! provides an outstanding quality paper in vibrant colours, double sided, thick, easy to work with, great value and it will enrich any of your paper craft project. 48 sheets in a paper stack... you defo have to have it!!
New Stampin' Up! in colours 2015-2016 : cucumber crush, delightful Dijon, Mint macaroon, Tiptop Taupe , Watermelon wonder...
To make any of this bags you only need 1 sheet of new Cherry on Top DSP from Stampin' Up. The new paper stacks measures 6"x 6" inches . You can also make larger bags with Stampin Up 12"x12" inches paper sheets. You just need to know how to do this by watch my video tutorial here or at the bottom of this page
I also have made some mini tote bags with Moonlight DSP from Stampin' Up! ( find them in the right of the picture below) this paper is going to be retired in June 2 -2015 when the new collection of colours and tools is available to the market.
These mini tote bags measures 4" x 2 -1/4" inches. |

DeleteI hope it helps . X Bibi
Hello Bibi!! Happy New Year!!! I went to check the tutorial for the 12 x 12 tote, but it indicates it does not exist . . . I think there is something missing in the site address. Thanks so much! I have placed anonymous in the profile since I do not know how to use the other options.

ReplyDeleteThank you!
Hello! Love the paper tote bags! I'm planning on making them for Christmas. Could you please tell me the measurements for the medium bags? What are the finale dimensions?
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
Hello, thanks for asking. The medium and larger bag are made using 12"x12" inches paper. The medium one looks a bit smaller just because I folded the top of the bag to the inside and because I made larger cuts at the sides so when I glue the sides together this also affected the width of the bag making it shorter. The larger bag measures about width 8"x length 5"x deep 2". So I would say that the medium one is about 7"x4"x2" , You can use any rectangular piece of paper to customize your bags to any size. Many Hugs and I hope you enjoy making this easy project at Christmas. x Bibi
