Welcome to my 12 Days of Christmas-Day 4! I am so excited to bring you 12 days of fun Christmas projects that will hopefully inspire you to create! Today I am sharing a quick & easy gift bag using Hang An Ornament Bundle (on Sale and AWSL) with Take A Bow Designer Series Paper and a Stampin’ Up! Gift Bag (from Gift Bags Combo Pack).

Stampin' Up! Hang An Ornament Gift Bag with Take A Bow Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Now this is what I call a quick & easy project! Perfect for those last minute gifts when you’re heading out the door and need to bring a little something. I think everyone needs to have the Gift Bags Combo pack on hand! You get 16 bags (8 each of 2 sizes). These are so easy to decorate. You could stamp directly on them or adhere some DSP to the front and back, add a bow and call it a day! There are endless possibilities!

If you ordered my 12 Days of Christmas Kit to Go you received everything you need to craft along with me. Here’s a look at what was included in the kit for today’s project.

Stampin' Up! Cup of Tea book binding fun fold card idea- Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love to find unique gifts and enjoy making cards to coordinate. Today’s birthday card and bookmark is one I made for a friend who loves books and tea. The Cup of Tea Bundle and the “book binding” fun fold was the perfect choice for the occasion. I used some retired DSP (to coordinate with the gift). You can easily substitute a pattern from the Tea Boutique 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper or any from your “stash”.
Stampin' Up! Cup of Tea book binding fun fold card idea- Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Here are the dimensions to make this quick & easy book binding fun fold:

Card Base (Cherry Cobbler): 11 X 4-1/4, score at 4 1/4 & 5 1/2
Card Stock Layer (Basic Black): 4 x 4, 1 x 4
Designer Series Paper (retired Sale-A-Bration): 3 7/8 x 3 7/8, 7/8 x 3 7/8
Inside Layer (Basic White): 4 x 4

Adhere Tear & Tape (or other strong adhesive like Multipurpose Liquid Glue) along the 1 1/4 score line from the fold allowing the card to open like a book. I stamped the tea cup in Memento Black, the stems in Pear Pizzazz, the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler, then die cut each with the coordinating dies. The lemon is die cut from a scrap of Crushed Curry and the flowers I fussy cut from the DSP. I found the Novel Tea bags on Amazon…they are so cool as each one has a quote from a novel.

I like to let the card decorate the gift package. Simply adhere a clear envelope to the front of a bag and slide the card in. Add some tissue paper and it’s done!!!

I plan to use this quick & easy fun fold design to make cards for all my book club friends! Let’s have some fun….What’s the last book you read? I have been on a Taylor Jenkins Reid binge lately….Love her books! Just finished Daisy Jones and the Six (excited to watch the limited series coming out in March)! Also loved The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Malibu Rising and more!!!! Leave a comment below sharing a good book you’ve read lately for a chance to win some blog candy! I’m always looking for my next good read! I will pick a random winner to receive a gift in the mail from me.

Have a great day!
