This is a very basic gift bag - either use patterned paper or print two A4 sheets with your favourite graphics then cut two, fold and glue together. There's no need to print the cutting lines. I just stick my sheet of paper into the CR, press cut and away it goes - no lines appear on the finished article.
Try the following:
1)make the bag, punch holes in the top and add ribbon or cord handles.
2)remove the top red dotted line, cut, assemble, cut the top of the bag with a pair of decorative scissors, fold over and seal with a label.
3) cut one plain template then add a shape to the other side before you cut- the CR will cut out a lovely (precise!!) window. Back with acetate, add handles and there you are - a sassy gift bag with a cut out window. Now can you imagine heavy weight dark blue( or any colour) wrapping paper cut to A4 size with loads of little star cut outs on one side, backed on the inside with gold paper - terribly exclusive stuff! Make a tag from the fab tag font that one of the ladies made and slide it onto one of the handles- now how Harrods is that?
4) play around with the measurements - move the sides and resize the flaps- the template is basic but very versatile and you could always go country and use brown wrapping paper and raffia
I'll say no more - play and enjoy!!

I created this file tonight to save myself having to cut and score totes with my trimmer. I love them and plan to make them all the time, so using my Quickutz Silhouette will save me literally hours! This file will work with any cutter that works on GSD files (Craft Robo and Silhouette both do).
I hope this helps others! I've test cut it and it's perfect. Fits the standard A6 cards like a glove!
This is my first GSD file creation, so I would really appreciate your feedback. If anyone has trouble with the file, please feel free to contact me and I will endeavour to help you.
Here I am finally! Getting in at the last minute as usual!!
I had a few ideas for boxes and bags, but none of them translated very well, so I decided to go back to basics.
I created this bag and called it a Lolly Bag, but I guess it can be a gift bag too. I had in mind that it could be used to hold Halloween Treats or Wedding Bonboniere. Or even Christmas Cookies! You can amend the front to whatever you like. I wanted to cut a design from the front like a window, but that wasn't happening , so I gave up and just stuck a topper to it (which I've uploaded in the template section).
I didn't add holes at the top for the ribbon (I punched those myself afterwards) because I thought I'd leave it blank and you could add whatever you wanted to it to use as a closure.
I haven't tested the GSD, but it cuts beautifully from Illustrator.
I hope it's useful!!
Thanks for the challenge Frogzone, it definitely was very challenging - for me, anyway!
I made this to give a small Teddy Bear (22cm tall sitting) to our grandaughter. It's made in three pieces - front and back as separate pieces, with the base & sides all in one long piece. I've included instructions for assembly though I'm sure it will be fairly obvious to everyone. By changing the window shape and text it could be useful for lots of gifts and occasions.
Thiis a small gift bag in the shape of an eveing shirt. More info on my blog. Ideal for those little cracker type gifts. Its my first attempt at creating a bag in Studio so it might need tweaking a little bit.
Hope someone finds it useful.
Needed a gift bag for a small present so made this. Hope someone may find it useful. Assembly instructions are inculded in the zipped file. The flower on the front is not included as it's one from my stash.
