A melon Thanks gift bag made using the Bag Toppers - summer Cricut Craft Room cartridge.

Hello, everyone!

 Today I have an easy project made using the Bag Toppers - Summer Cricut Craft Room cartridge. This is one of the best ideas for a cartridge Provo Craft has ever had! This is so fantastic for a quick gift bag or for party favors. Love love love!

Here is the CCR file:https://www.box.com/s/b118904097af8fd268a7
Here is the Gypsy file:https://www.box.com/s/1a7c73d6e36dcefb4e3131



I bought these plain white bags at Walmart.


To punch the holes, I used a cropodile Big Bite. It was very thick after assembly and would not have been easy to do with a regular hole punch.

 Thanks so much for stopping by this week!


Don't forget we are giving away a Bridal Shower Cartridge this week!

How can you win?

Love the idea. I have an original cricut so can't use the downloads but still can use the concept. Thanks! Just started my cartridge collection - any additions would be GREAT!

Jessica Andis said...

very cute bag, thanks for all the ideas and chances to win cartridges. favorite fruit is strawberries. I like them plain, covered in chocolate,my mom cut strawberries and banana's up and puts sugar on them in a bowl and puts them in the fridge for about 30 mins to an hour to keep them cold and for the sugar to mix into them and the juice.

Auntie Em said...

The bag topper is such a cute idea and really dresses up a plain brown bag. You have really started me thinking about what else I could cut out with my Cricut to use. What a life saver when you need to wrap something in a hurry and can't get to a store. I can see lots of things being wrapped this way at Christmas time too when you are sharing baked goods.
Thanks for the inspiration! :)

Carol Meadows said...

Really enjoy all the cute ideas, thanks! Carol M in TX/carolswingster77@aol.com
