DIY Valentine’s Day Goodie Bags
January 20th, 2010
I know it’s a bit early for all these Valentine’s Day posts but I can’t resist! I had so much fun creating this new bag for all of you that I just couldn’t wait to share! Plus, I wanted you to be able to have time to get bags, print, make goodies and fill with time to spare.
Inspired by all things sweet and love related, I created this little pattern and printed onto the bag directly from my Ink Jet printer. If you don’t have an Ink Jet or if your printer doesn’t allow you to print odd formats, you could always print the label onto sticker paper (found at office supply stores) and post apply it to the bag. Fill with cookies, muffins, a handmade card, or whatever it is that your special someone will enjoy. Download the file here and enjoy! xoxo
Perfect for projects like these or for other crafts and gifts the White and craft paper bags are available through my Etsy shop here in bundles of 25.

I love these bags! I would love to download them, but when I do, the winzip file is empty….
January 20th, 2010 at 5:54 am
WOW! These are so beautiful! Thank you so much – just had to share with our readers of our blog http://www.youareingoodcompany.blogspot.com. You are so talented! Imagine these bags for a wedding in the shades of the colour scheme!

LOVE them, Kathleen!! You are fabulous!

Hi Karlijn, I just tested the Zip file on my end and it seems to be working ok. You may need a program like Winzip or PKZIP to uncompress the zip. Many such programs are available for little or no cost from websites like Download.com. Let me know if you still have trouble and we’ll figure out a way to get the file to you. Good luck! Kathleen

Hi Lauren,
I apologize for the troubles! It was working from the 3 computers I tested it from but just in case, I’ve re-saved and re-linked. Give it a try again and let me know if you run into any more issues. Kathleen

Those are just too lovely for words. Thank you!

January 20th, 2010 at 7:16 pm
Super Awesome Kathleen! Love it! I’m going to give myself a bag of brownies on the big day of love. Woot!

Great idea, thank you.
January 21st, 2010 at 12:28 am
I just love this idea. Here in Germany Valentine’s day is not very big but there are a couple of people I know who would love this (along with my son’s girlfriend who will get it from him personally of course). I always enjoy visisting your blog and the creative input. Thanks for sharing.
Greetings from the centre of Germany

Love the bags, I do not see the download for them? Another question is how do I use a PDF file in my Dip software program?
Gorgeous!!!
January 24th, 2010 at 10:13 am
Hi IORA, To download the file click where it reads ” Download the file here“. Secondly, I apologize but I’m not familiar with Dip Software. I recommend Adobe Acrobat and you can download free trials at adobe.com.
Hope that helps and best of luck!

January 28th, 2010 at 1:17 am
Absolutely adorable. Thank you for sharing. Just found your blog too. Love it.
January 28th, 2010 at 10:15 am
Where do you buy the bags at? Thanks so much!
January 28th, 2010 at 3:42 pm
I downloaded the file, but it is in PDF format. It will not convert to a jpeg or bitmap to go into my PrintMaster program so I can print out the bags.
Could you send us a jpeg or bitmap file instead of the pdf? Many thanks. You are the best!
January 29th, 2010 at 8:09 pm

Hunted for a quick idea and found it here. Only problem, I can’t download it.

These are so cute!!!Happy Valentine’s Day !!!
February 9th, 2010 at 2:53 pm
I had a hard time printing these directly onto the bags. I ended up printing them on sticker paper, cutting them out and sticking them onto the bags and it worked out great!
February 10th, 2010 at 12:44 am
Hi! Just wanted to say thanks for the Valentine freebies. I linked to them on mine:

Hi
I’m looking to do a similar, but different design for a wedding. How do you create a design upside down on the computer so that it prints right side up?
Thanks.
