Bunny Hop 2020 – Mini Treat Bag

Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Karen Robinson | Bunny Hop 2020 – Mini Treat Bag

Welcome to this year’s Bunny Hop! I’ll be sharing an Easter themed project once a week for the next six weeks to help “Spring-start” your treat giving 😉 If you’d like to hop along with me I’ll be mainly using Welcome Easter (from the 2020 Mini Catalogue), the Subtles 6″ x 6″ DSP (from the 2019-20 Annual Catalogue), coordinating cardstock and various punches & dies (which will be optional most of the time).

Today’s project is a little flat treat bag inspired by this cute bag I found on Pinterest. It’s the perfect size for some thinner treats like the bunny Kit Kats or just a few small eggs in the bottom and uses a whole 6″ x 6″ piece of DSP (so no cutting down required).

I really liked the scalloped edge in the inspiration picture so used the large scalloped die from Seasonal Layers to get a similar look and scored and folded in the sides of my bag before die cutting to make the front and back line up perfectly 🙂

The tag is a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock (1-3/4″ x 3″) and I used the Detailed Trio Punch to round the corners and add a ribbon hole at the top and stamped some of the small images from Welcome Easter to create a simple background for my cute Easter animals.

The animals were stamped in Basic Grey (for a softer outline) and coloured using Stampin’ Blends Markers (colours will be in the Supply List). I fussy cut these out and popped them up on a “picnic” blanket ( 1-1/2″ x 1-1/2″) for a little dimension. I tied a length of Daffodil Delight Ruched Ribbon through the hole to add some texture and added them to my bags with some tiny white pegs in my stash.

The sentiment is also from Welcome Easter and I stamped it onto Whisper White cardstock and then die cut it out with one of the Sending Flowers Dies. It was too large to clip on with the tag, so after a bit of trial & error I adhered it to the bottom of the bag with Tear & Tape and then trimmed off the overhang.

Here’s the How To:

Finished Dimensions: 2-3/4″ x 4-7/8″
DSP: 6″ x 6″ (for bag) & 1-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ (for blanket)
Cardstock: 1-3/4″ x 3″ (for tag)

• Score @ 1-3/4″ & 4-1/2″
• Turn 90º
• Score @ 1″ (for the base)
• Fold & burnish all score lines
• With the sides of the bag folded in, die cut a scalloped edge along the top (optional)
• Trim the base of the bag as shown in the pictures
• Apply Tear & tape to the back seam & base and assemble
• Decorate as desired

I really like how these little bags turned out, the bags themselves are super simple to make and you can dress them up as much or as little as you like and they’ll look just as sweet 🙂 I love using clips/pegs to add the tags to the bags as well, it means they can be reused on another project and the clip can keep the yummies safe inside if needed 🙂

Cheers,
Karen
