Hello friends! Happy Holidays! I had so much fun creating these five adorable Christmas treat and gift card bags using the Oh What Fun collection. This collection is bright, cheerful, and full of the sweetest holiday icons, making it absolutely perfect for quick handmade gifts during the busy Christmas season.
Each bag starts with a simple 5x7 colored glassine bag as the base. From there, I dressed each one up with a mix of Petite Prints papers and the border strips from the Christmas Eve patterned paper. I love how those border strips add instant personality and help tie each design together while still keeping everything quick and easy.
In the first photo, you’ll see the full set of five bags together. I chose a different color palette for each one—classic Ladybug, soft Cupcake, sweet Swimming Pool, sunny Bumblebee, and fresh Limeade—so every bag feels unique while still coordinating as a set. To make the pocket, I simply folded about 2 1/2 inches from the bottom of the bag and then cut out some Petite Prints that matched the bag for the base. I added a strip of Textured Cardstock paper across the front for a cozy, finished look.
Looking closer at the individual bags, you’ll notice how much dimension and charm come from the die cuts. I pulled icons Chit Chat pack, layering them on a scallop paper rosette to create cute focal points. Santa, gingerbread, wreaths, and festive icons really shine against the simple, patterned backgrounds. These little details make the bags feel extra special without adding a lot of time to the process.
Inside each bag, I tucked some small holiday treats along with a gift card. These bags are just the right size to hold a candy cane, a wrapped chocolate, a gift card, and a yummy Christmas Tree brownie, making them perfect for neighbors, coworkers, teachers, or special friends. It’s such an easy way to turn a simple gift card into something thoughtful and handmade.
Inside the pocket, I added a space for writing a small sentiment for your gift recipient using some Textured Cardstock. For the sentiments, I used the Merry Christmas stamp from the Oh What Fun Doodle Stamps set. I love how clean and classic this sentiment is, and it works beautifully across all five designs. Stamping the greeting at the top of each bag gives them a polished, finished look and ties everything together. A couple of small Oh What Fun Sprinkles were added next to the sentiment for some added shimmer and shine. I added color-coordinating present and heart die cuts from the Odds and Ends to decorate the corner of the card.
What I love most about these treat bags is how quick and easy they are. They come together fast, use minimal supplies, and are easy to customize with different colors or embellishments. When time is short, but you still want to give something heartfelt, projects like these are the perfect solution.
Thank you so much for stopping by today and taking a look at my project. I hope these cute Christmas treat and gift card bags have inspired you to create a few of your own for the special people in your life. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday season! Happy Crafting!
