I started with a large white plain gift bag from Michael's and added cardstock
and patterned paper as the base. I cut the stork and baby from the New Arrival
cartridge and the crib, mobile, and onesie from the 9 Months cartridge.
I love using lots of layers on my cuts and putting pop dots between the layers
to give my images even more dimension. Then I added some Glossy Accents and
Distress Inks to my cuts. The rug is just a circle that I modified in Cricut
Craft Room and turned into an oval. I created the tag with my Grandson’s
initials on it in CCR by welding a 2” circle to a 3.5” x 2” rectangle using
shapes from Cricut Craft Room Basics. Then I welded a slightly smaller rectangle
inside the larger one to create an open ‘window’ and then welded his initials in
the opening using Gypsy Font. I cut an extra tag layer without the window and
initials as a base and used pop dots between the two layers. A mini brad and
twine are the finishing touches.
One of the little gifts that I am adding to this gift bag is a hat that I
knitted myself with my Knifty Knitter (which is also made by Provo Craft!) I
hope that he will be able to wear it when he comes home from the hospital.
The cutting recipe for the gift bag is on my blog - Angie's Paper Passion.
Thanks for visiting and Happy Crafting!

Oh my gosh what an adorable gift bag. If i got it I would frame it for my baby's room. Ding, ding... I'm going to craftlift this idea and make a framed picture for my next baby shower gift.
