Background Basics Faux Quilted Gift Bags and Tissue Paper

I am always scrambling at the last minute for something to package a gift in.

I never seem to have the right wrapping paper or gift bag for the gift I am giving, so I decided to get a head start by creating some quick and easy Background Basics Faux Quilted gift bags with coordinating tissue paper.  This way I can mix and match to create a variety of color schemes that are perfect for the giftee!

Here’s what you will need:

•  Ann Butler Crafter’s® Ink by Clearsnap – Limelight, Aquamarine, Sunshine, Lilac and Berry
• Colorbox® Background Basics Stamps by Ann Butler – Checks, Diamond, Basket and Picnic
• Tissue Paper – Fuchsia, Turquoise, Yellow, Lavender and Green; Kraft Gift Bags; Scissors; Baby Wipes.

Here’s how to make it:

1.) Load Background Basics stamps with Ann Butler Crafter’s Ink and stamp on the like colored tissue paper.  Repeat with all stamps until tissue paper surface is covered.  Set aside to dry.

2.) Load Background Basics stamps with Ann Butler Crafter’s Ink and stamp on front and back of kraft paper gift bag.  Set aside to dry.

3.) Fill bag with tissue (and GIFT) and use for all of those last minute gifting opportunities that arise!  These would make great goodie bags for a Birthday or Anniversary Party as well!
