Cricut Good Old Days Easy Birthday Bags

Wednesday, February 29, 2012

Here are some quick and easy party bags made with the Cricut Imagine Good Old Days cartridge and the Imagine machine.  All I did was lay out two images (the Happy Birthday and the cake) and print them onto bags that I ran through the Imagine. Sadly, I didn't center them as well as I could have (whoops!).

Take a look at this fun Good Old Days cartridge:


It would be fun to put your birthday treat bag candies and what not into these bags.  FYI, the bags came from Michaels and they are lunch bag sized.


Don't forget I am giving away a set of My Creative Time's newest stamp set release!  Head over HERE to enter to win!

Very cute, and I love the idea of using my I on other things. I just can't figure how you get bags to stick to the mat, and how to place the images. Any further info or instruction would be greatly appreciated! I love your videos, and we could all benefit from one explaining this technique! Thanks Joy. BethAnn M.

Very cute gift bag, and so easy to make, too. I made Christmas treat bags using my Imagine, after seeing Melanie's post showing this technique on Everyday Cricut. The bags were a huge hit with the kids AND the adults. Can't wait to try more ideas.
