Art Philosophy Gift Bag Tutorial

Edited to Add:  It's a Blog Hop!!  Thank you Tresa Black for hosting!  Once you're done viewing my tutorial, you can hop around and see many other GREAT pieces of art.   

I've been getting a ton of questions about the Art Philosophy Cricut Bundle so I thought I'd make a little tutorial and include a project. See how easy it is to create a cute little gift bag using the cricut cartridge, dimensional elements and matching stamps.

Awesome video Dawn.... and I learned a lot! My cartridge just came the other day.....have to go play now! Thanks again!

I'm so glad Karen! It's the longest video I've ever made. I was hoping it wasn't too boring. ;-) I'll be making some shorter ones next time!

Awesome video Dawn!Great tips! Thank you!

Karen said...

Thanks! I don't have a cricut yet-I have been doing some research on them-do you have the Expression or the original-my understanding is that you only need an expression if you want to do really large items--what do you think? By the way-that was a nice video and made the whole process seem less daunting.

Thank you!
@Karen (the second one). I have the expression. You will definately want the expression (not the original or the create), especially if you want to do gift boxes or bags. There are several features (like fill page) that aren't on the original. Plus, if I remember correctly, the original cricut cuts in 1/2 inch increments, whereas the expression can cut in 1/4 inch increments. That's a big deal when creating layers.

Hope that helps!

Good to know thanks--now just trying to find the best price for one!

Just fyi.... I found my Cricut Expressions (in pink no less!) at Michaels for $179 the Sunday after convention.
