A Special Little Treat~



Hello. This is Sara from www.sarawandrews.com.
 
I don't know about you, but I love gift cards.

And I mean I really LOVE them!
 
I love getting them and giving them.
 
It takes the stress out of having to get that most perfect gift that they either already own or isn't all that perfect.
 
You know what I mean?
 
A gift card also means FREE shopping. And what's better than that?
 
But, I do like to dress up my gift cards.

I chose a patterned paper from Santa's Village and printed directly onto Kraft and White Whisker Graphic treat bags.

My bags after coming out of my Cricut Imagine~

To print directly on the bags I placed them on the mat and chose a square shape sized at 10" and the fill pattern.
 
One tip I have is to place the bags lower on the mat to avoid any blank spots or strips.

My decorated bags~

To embellish the bags I cut several of the cute labels off the cart at a size of 2.75".
I also printed additional patterned papers to make my stars.
I added a few buttons, twine and Washi and they are ready to be filled.
 
I love how quick and easy it is to make a fabulous looking bag to hold my most perfect gift.
 
Also, they can be quickly ripped open to make the spending easy.
