This graphic can be printed directly onto a paper bag for a quick gift or onto sticker paper and pasted to a box. However this is applied I’m sure the recipient will enjoy the treat inside! Instructions after the break!

Bake a batch of brownies as you normally would and using a heart shaped cookie cutter, cut out brownies. I baked mine in a 9×13 pan to get the most hearts out of one batch.

Download the bag graphic here and follow the directions in the PDF for printing. You’ll need a small 5×8.5″ paper bag. I now carry these paper bags in my Etsy shop and they can be purchased here (also available in white).

*I’ve recently updated this file for 2010! Please click here to download the file and see more images.

*Add a little more detail to the bag and scallop the top with a pair of pinking shears or rotary cutter.

*UPDATE: Download the latest version of the bag here. Enjoy and happy early Valentine’s Day to all!

A pattern of branches, berries and mushrooms were used to create this “vintage autumn” themed invitation. The die cut is a stunning addition to such a simple program. I love!
