A New Year and A New Baby Gift Bag

Hello everyone! It's Angela from Angie's Paper Passion, (TiffysMom on the Cricut MB). Well, it’s a new year and my new Grandson will be here very soon! (less than 2 weeks!) So today I’d like to share with you a gift bag that I made that’s perfect for a new baby gift! (Sorry about the photos, it’s been overcast here for several days – not great photo taking weather!)


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!
Angela

  1. 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.
    I can't wait to be a Grandma but alas it will be awhile (if ever). Enjoy every minute!
