Decorate a bag

I have resolved to not purchase a Pre-Decorated/Sterile/Commercial looking bag.... Why would I when it's so Easy, Fun and Cool to make my own!! Decorating plain bags is easier than ever!

I nabbed this Bright DSP, Summer Smooch, a plain white paper bag, some Hot Glue, my Score Board and a dash of bling... Put it all together for a great look! With our coordinating material it makes for quick coordination and I took a strip to tie a lil flair on the handle.

Cutting the paper to center on the bag I adhered it down with the Hot Glue gun. I then took this 1 1/2" strip of DSP and scored it every 1/4" and folded this fan. I then used the Daffodil Delight 1" circle, a 1/4" Real Red and our Adhesive backed Rhinestone to center the flower. It mimics the flowers in the pattern.

A quick and easy way to coordinate a boutique style bag for a customer as an Appreciation for her recent orders!

I hope your day is Bright and Summery and that you decorate your own bags! This took all of 5 minutes for a HUGE impression!

What Others are SAYING about Getting Crafty with Jamie

Jamie is so passionate and creative about making cards - and wants everyone else to join her in the fun! She is so encouraging and positive in her attitude, helping me along when I get frustrated - and then rejoicing with me at the finished product! I love going to her classes to get new ideas, learn techniques, and have loads of fun in the process. ~ Christine C.

Jamie has wicked awesome classes! If you don’t like a particular stamp or paper/ink color Jamie wants you to change it to suit your style! I did my sister-in-law’s entire bridal shower from invitations/thank you cards, party favors to decorations, it was quaint and whimsical! Everyone ooh’d and ahh’d! I’ve had lots of special requests for classes and Jamie delivers; she always has tasty treats and flavored coffees too ~Ashley W.

I have been attending Jamie's classes for over a year. Her ideas for cards are fresh and fun. She always tries to have several different styles of cards available, so everyone gets to make cards that fit their personal style. The techniques she shows each class can be used in many different applications. She is very patient teacher when instructing class members on how to use the Stampin Up products. ~ Carol D.

If I looked up the word sparkle in the dictionary, I would find Jamie Albanese picture there. I have had the sweet blessing of knowing Jamie and her family for over 5 years now. Every time I am with her I feel loved and inspired. When I am in one of her classes I feel my creative juices flow, as she encourages me to go outside my comfort zone. Jamie helped our girl scout troop make cards for a soldier who needed some encouragement!!! For any of you who have not been in one of Jamie's classes, please don't let another day slip by. She is a beautiful friend and she will become yours too. ~ Blessings, Karen:-)

Jamie has a great eye for style and flair, and it shows in her work. Yet she can pick up on your own individual style and makes great recommendations. I love that she is always flexible for last-minute decision maker mommies like me! So much fun to host craft events with your friends and family - that personal touch always means so much. ~ Adonna
