My First Mini Lunch Kit (Still Unfinished)

This lunch kit is still unfinished, but I wanted to show it just basically covered. I want to Thank Okieladybug for sharing her .cut files and video for this project HERE.

Like I said, this was my first one - so improvements are needed. But all in all, I think it came out well. I did cut out the holes for the handle & will probably wrap it with ribbon scraps. Okie's .cut files made it so much easier though. Thank You So Much!!!
I will post again when I get it all decorated. I still have to figure out what will fill it & who will get it.

Thanks for looking. Questions & comments are always welcomed.

Gift Bag - Paper Lunch Bags

Thanks to Okieladybug for this great idea. She has been making these gift bags for a little while now & I have been admiring them. Then she went & got picked to be a guest designer for Christmas With The Cricut and made a video on how to do them.

I had used the paper lunch bags before for favor bags, see HERE, but nothing like this.

The only problem I had was that I had to go buy some punches. I really don't get punches b/c of my Cricut. However, I wanted to make the handle. *Note* This project can be done just as nicely w/o making a handle, but I had to blame Okie for me having to buy them. *LOL*

Details:
Paper Lunch Bag
Misc. Papers & Ribbon
Marvy Uchida 2 1/2" Square Scallop Punch
Marchy Uchida 2" Square Punch
Studio G December Stamp Set
Glitter Gel Pen
Cuttlebug w/ Fiskars Texture Plate
Color Box Pigment Ink

After decorating both sides of the bag, I punched a 2" square hole at the center top of the bag (all the way through. Then with the light blue paper I did the same twice. I then used the 2 1/2" scallop square punch, centering it around the 2" hole in the blue paper (twice). This gave me the scallop square frame. I adhered one to each side of the bag.

For the tag I just used one of the blue squares & stamped it w/ the Studio G stamp. I layered it onto a red 2 1/2" scallop square. I then used a dark red glitter gel pen to put dots around the scallop edge (hard to see). I also used it for the faux stitching on the blue layer, around the edge of the hat, & on the eyes, nose, & buttons (again hard to see in the pic). But it added so much to the tag in person.

Okie, I hope I did your project justice.

Thanks Okieladybug!

I received my Cricut Head Decals yesterday.  As soon as I got them open, I put them on the van.  I think the kids were just as excited as I was to get them.  Thanks Okie for doing this for everyone.

You can order them from Okie.  The information is on her blog: http://okieladybugsscrapnmore.blogspot.com/2008/07/cricut-car-decal.html

On my van:  I got the one with the black shadow, but it's hard to see on the tinted windows.
