Hello crafty friends! Rochi Villegas here sharing a special Father's Day project featuring Paige's Crafted Moments collection. I wanted to create something meaningful that combined a gift card with a personal touch, so I designed these mini gift bags with photo keepsakes shaped as Polaroid frames.

I began by creating the bag from white cardstock. For the base, I used a piece of light cardstock measuring 7x11". I scored the long side at 1/2”. Once folded, I adhered the 1/2" tab to the opposite side to form a rectangle. Next, I scored 1" on both sides to create the sides of the bag and scored 2” at the bottom of the bag. Then I opened the bottom and pressed the sides inward to create a diamond shape with two triangular flaps. I glued the flaps together to seal the bottom of the bag. To transform the bag into a shirt-shaped gift bag, I folded the top portion 1/2” twice and trimmed the sides just beneath the fold to form the shirt collar. I then decorated the shirt using papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad and a tie and a pocket for a fun Father's Day look. One of my favorite elements is the removable Polaroid-style photo cards. Instead of simply giving a gift card, I wanted to include special family memories that Dad could keep and display long after Father's Day. To decorate the project, I used Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers, phrases from the Ephemera Die Cuts, and Rub-On Transfers. I love how the soft florals and bright colors balance, creating a design that feels both playful and heartfelt. Projects like this are one of my favorite ways to combine scrapbooking and paper crafting - they allow us to preserve memories while creating something handmade and meaningful for the people we love.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope this Father's Day project inspires you to create personalized gifts that celebrate the special people in your life!
