This bag will fold flat for storage. The sides and base are expandable which allows it to lie flat but also stand up as shown. The bag is a great size to store some notecards and envelopes.

I’ve made this bag in two colour ways. The one above features the Countryside Inn designer series paper (DSP) which I love. The one below is Fresh as a Daisy and the colour is Pecan Pie. Which do you prefer? Let me know in the comments below.

They are both returning in-colours they are now part of our main colour families. Which do you like best?

I first made this bag with my card club ladies last year and it was a hit. I decided to do another one with this gorgeous designer series paper (DSP), Countryside Inn. This paper is all about the blues and I love it. I only bought one pack but am definitely getting another one soon as I can see myself using it again and again. I love blues if you can’t tell.

This bag is actually super easy to make. I enclose a template below. The top has a little magnetic closure though you could also you a velcro fastening as well.

Baby Sized No Cut Gift Bag – Regency Park – Easter Bunny – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I have made quite a few of these no-cut gift bags over the years. I was talking with a customer recently and she reminded me of when I first made this bag. It was at a Guider’s Day about 10 years ago and we made a version of this bag with a set of little cards. That time I hand-stamped my paper, this time I used designer series paper (DSP). It’s called Regency Park.

This bag is super easy to make as there is not cutting or glueing needed to make it. You just score and fold

I love the cute little bunny on this Easter basket. This basket is actually just an open box with a handle. I did use a scallop die around the edge on my first sample but I just didn’t like the look. It would be better to use an edge punch. I used a retired one on my second sample.

I haven’t a clue where I got the easter eggs for this basket. You should never eat the chocolates and sweets that live in my craft room as they have all been there for years. i use them time and time again for my projects.

This is such an easy bag to make. I wanted to show that just changing something small can totally change the look of your finished item. Here I’ve changed the closure mechanism. The first one is a ribbon closure and the second one has handles. It totally changes the look of the bag.

How to Construct a Fold Flat Bag

How to Construct a Fold Flat Bag – Dandy Designs – Flowers of Friendship – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

This little bag folds flat for easy storage. We made this in a recent card club and I wanted to share it with you as well. I used the Dandy Designs designer series paper (DSP) that I got free during sale-a-bration. I love the bright and vibrant colours in this paper pack. You get 48 sheets in a pack so you won’t run out anytime soon.
