This gift bag and card are perfect for your pet-loving friends and family for the holidays! Donna shows you how to make these in a Snapguide link below.
"One of the easiest project I made to date. I just printed a bag template and traced it on a black cardstock using a white pencil. Then I prepared the necessary embellishments and cut out my papers first. I opted to adhere the papers and embellishments while the bag lays flat instead of adhering the bag in shape. You can see the step by step in the Snapguide tutorial provided." ~Donna

As soon as I saw the header of today's blog I knew Miranda had a treat for us! Absolutely beautiful gift set & will watch the video as soon as my life allows. The second set is gorgeous too, particularly the vibrancy of colours! Tfs always. I hope one day to revisit G45 tutorials when/if my confidence ever feels just.

How to turn a nice gift in to a million dollar gift...use an adorable, creative bag and matching card like Miranda's. Another great day on the blog. I'm always inspired by Graphic 45 collections.
Posted by: Elizabeth Etheridge | November 05, 2014 at 02:35 PM
All of these creations are a piece of art. I love the colors, textures, themes, embellishments. But the things I like most are the creativity and passion of the designers. They revealed some of the many ways to use Graphic 45, and did it beautifully. Graphic 45 paper is top quality and can become quite addictive! It has a touch of magic, I think. :)
Posted by: Joyce Gonda | November 05, 2014 at 02:38 PM
Yippee! Thanks for the tutorial and ispirations!
