Welcome to the Fiskateer's Orange Blog Hop! I'm so excited to be participating with all of these amazing crafters for today's hop. If you have come here from Lisa Falduto's blog, then you are in the right place :) If this is your first stop on the hop, please start at the Fiskateer's Blog. I don't want you to miss anything along the way.
For my project, I want to share a fun and creative way to dress up those old paper lunch sacks. I think any gift presented in a sweet and thoughtful package makes it better to give and receive. These treat bags can be created in just minutes and use supplies you already have on hand.

I like to use a pretty stamped image, an old postcard, or even a photo as the centerpiece. I chose a beautiful mermaid stamp by Queen Kat Designs and colored her with my Copic markers. I chose 2 coordinating patterned papers for the background and added tiny sticker letters for the sentiment. I love all of the orange I used when coloring the mermaid. I thought the turquoise ribbon accented the colors nicely. I added a pretty Prima flower to the side of the mermaid.
I used my favorite Fiskar's border punch, Threading Water, to create the decorative edge for the bag. I also used my favorite Fiskar's micro-tip scissors for detailed cutting, and Fiskar's 1/4" Circle Hand Punch to thread the ribbon.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. Your next stop on the hop is:

Aw, you have a very lucky lunchbag recipient! That's so cute.
We like a lot of the same tools! Funny how much Fiskateers think alike.
Happy crafting,

That has to be the prettiest lunch sack I've ever seen! Thanks for the inspiration.

Very cute project. I think I will make a halloween one for my daughter lunch. She'll be the envy of the lunch table :) I couldn't survive without my fiskars trimmer!
Cheryl #4362
Love the lunch bag! I decorate my kids all the time, but not quite so fancy.
I love my trimmer and all the punches ! border, squeeze..all of them !
EVERYTHING Fiskars makes is my favorite!
Thanks for the fun stop on the hop!
Tifany #5942
very cool bag you made there.
it's hard to say what my favorite Fiskars tool is. The trimmer has to be one, cause without it, not much else can be done. however, I absolutely love my fingertip craft knife, oh and the squeeze punches. My favorite squeeze punch is Gettin' Antsy. I rarely use it, but I love it. it's just so dang cute!
Punches! Punches, any kind, I'm a punch junkie :D donna m. #7352
Such a great idea!!! Thanks for sharing with us! I love the apron lace border punch too!
That bag is just adorable...love that stamp! who wouldn't love getting a gift in that bag (the bag just might be better than the gift). My favorite Fiskars tool is/are my trimmer and micro-tip scissors (since you are making me choose) but really I haven't met a Fiskars tool I haven't liked.
loving your project.. and I don't go anywhere without my paper trimmer!
That is so cute! My favorite product would be my special scissors. Most used is my rotary trimmer and I don't think I could scrap without it.
LOve your style!!! My favorite Fiskara product id the Threading water border punch and the Apron lace. I make up reasons to use these.
Thanks for the blog stop. The bag was great!
Ashani # 4682
love that gift bag. what a fab idea
I love "old blue." That would be my Fiskars trimmer. Can't do much of anything without it. Thanks for the hop stop!
What an adorable bag. My favorite fiskars products are my paper trimmer because it is used on ALL my projects but I couldnt live without my border punches either. - Marla#3291
I love the Fiskars Micro tip scissors. I weave baskets and when I am making my tiny baby one's out of black ash, those are the only scissors that cut like butter! thanks for the chance to win some goodies. This blog hop is fun!

Love the project. You want me to pick a favorite Fiskars product..... that is making it hard....lol. It may seem simple but I use the 1" circle punch a lot.
Great idea for those lunch bags! Very creative! I think my favorite tools are the squeeze punches! Any and all of them! They are great! So easy to use!

Love what you did with the bag!
My favourite Fiskar tool would have to be my rotary trimmer, I use it on pretty much every tool.

Love that you used such a yummy ribbon to close the bag. Gorgeous work.
Love your project! I never thought of edging the top of a bag to make it more decorative - and goodness knows I have TONS of border punches... but my favorite tool from Fiskars are the squeeze punches... right now my current #1 is the witch! :)

Great idea for the bags. Favorite product? huh there are way too many. I guess my border punches.
Hi Keely, your dressed up back is darling.
My fav tool is the squeeze punches. I only have one so far but they sure make punching so much easier.
Thanks for the chance in your give away. :)

My favorite Fiskars product is my border punches, especially threading waters!
Fabulous way to dress up a paper bag Keely!!!
Love your coloured stamp - those copic markers must be fun to use and the border punch is the perfect finish. I love the Fiskars border punches but confess that I LOVE the squeeze punches even more. Thank you for sharing your project with us for the Orange Blog Hop :)
