12:35 -- Fantastic method to make kraft cardstock look like wood/tree bark by breaking down the fibers. 🎉😮😀

[@Sara-yg2nm]

Hi Sam , you create such beautiful bags. Can you please do a tutorial of a Tory Burch designer bag . Sending you a pic of the bag. Thanks much . Seems like I can send pic here

[@karenbrass5053]

What a gorgeous bag! I love it and I’m sure my Mam will too. It looks like it’s going to be difficult to make, but because you break down each stage, it becomes more manageable. You’re a great teacher! 😊 Thanks.

[@DIYDreamWeddingsUK]

These look just like real bags, who would have thought they would be made of paper and card. Absolutely amazing, they are wonderful 👍👏

[@sophiemsmply4you572]

They look awesome and nice e to see something different. I'll definitely be trying this one. Thank you for sharing.

[@annerowan1694]

[@whatlizziepresents]

Omgosh, how adorable is this!!! I have just done a few gift purses, but nothing like this, I might upload the project share of them tomorrow. I am going to try and make one, Vera Bradley inspired. I'm new to my channel, I'll probably be able to make one by the weekend. Come check out my channel, would love to have you as a subbie friend. TFS

[@annerowan1694]

Fabuuuuulous Darling!!!

[@elisepelletier9474]

Very cool project!!

[@beverlymeaker7566]

This gift bag is awesome!!!!! Question: Does the distressed ink portion dry to the touch, or should I spray it with sealant so it doesn't make for inky fingers later?

[@MixedUpCraft]

Thank you Beverly. No, no need for sealant, the ink dries completely after 30 minutes or so.

[@katheriner9613]

Gorgeous bag

[@susanpeachey575]

I’m gonna make this one with floral papers. Sam I love all your tutorials. Can’t wait to see more. I’m addicted to your channel xx

[@lindastewart5630]

Hi Sam! This bag is sooooo lovely❤️ You are truly talented, I really admire the way you are so neat and tidy. Everything you do is pristine 🤗 I love watching your videos and reading your blog. Thank you for sharing.X

[@joycehill4399]

Sam, this is one of my favorites of your gift bags. I really enjoyed recreating this one. I gave many to family and friends. They are still enjoying them (I made them the day you uploaded the video). This bag is absolutely amazing! I shall be making more...in Christmas hues. Thank you so much for sharing...

[@princessalways4eva]

New subbie here! I absolutely love this.😍🎉 I’m always making bags to hold goodies for my granddaughter. This one is on my list for her birthday in August. She loves all the “purses” that I make for her. She’s going to be 11 years old. I’ve been doing my best to turn her into a young lady and my crafts help.😊 I look forward to seeing your other videos. Tfs sweetie. Hugs-Kristina 🤗

[@patpowell6684]

The handles remind me of a cloth knitting holder I had once that stood on the floor. I have a friend who is a big knitter, this would make a lovely gift bag with knitting goodies in. Her birthday is coming up so it was very good timing......thank you again, I can always count on you for something unusual. 🎉👏🏻✨

[@vmcdesigns-nl]

Awesome bag, the craft card one looks absolutely stunning. 😍😍😍 Thank you for sharing.

[@jaynekennedy8469]

These are great! The brown bag looks very 70s retro...all it needs are some bright flower add-ons! Thanks!!

[@judydamico7972]

Will definitely be making this today for a Mother's Day gift I always check your ideas when I need an idea that really pops.

[@bettyjohnson1365]

Love the one you call masculine! It looks so leathery and beautiful which would be great for any business professional.

[@gaillockeyakathemessycraft658]

[@pamfarr7761]

Love them Sam. Great gift bag ideas. Going to have to make one of them for my sisters for Christmas. I'll have to change the measurements a little but other than that, they look simple to make. TFS.

Amazing gift bags 😊love this ❤ thanks for sharing and for a great tutorial. It's easy to follow Yay 🤗

[@supermum2kids233]

OMG... This is brilliant! In the 80's bags like this were all the rage, made from string with wooden handles. We used them for school and had to use a carrier bag inside so we didn't lose anything through the holes x 🙂

[@angiedyer69]

These are brilliant Sam, you have such great ideas for something that little bit different!

[@cynthiacole6325]

Absolutely love this gift bag! I need to make two bags for gifts in the very near future so thank you for the inspiration.

[@debblws1961]

My favorite bag so far. Love it

[@jmccreates1337]

Wow how amazing well done xx

[@juliekindred-fatbirdcrafti1459]

You are so clever

[@leannemitchem8865]

Wow! Stunning! I think I mentioned the last purse was my fav but now this one is by far. And the greatest thing about your bags are the ability to fold flat for storing cause I am going to be making lots of these. The leather looking one kinda reminds me of a portable hand held tool box or a doctors bag back in the 18th century. Love these so very much! Thank you for sharing!

[@MixedUpCraft]

lol Leanne, your always so sweet. Yep has to be fold flat, means I can keep making loads :) x

[@leannemitchem8865]

I hear ya!

[@sallybyrne9577]

You are so amazingly creative, Sam. These are so great. I need to make one of these for sure.

[@MixedUpCraft]

Thank you Sally x

[@hanzs_of_a_miracle9545]

[@natalinatagliaferri6257]

[@CraftsandMorewithDonnaJackson]

Sam you're a genius. I love this one. Tfs Hugs and blessings Donna
