Tote-ally Adorable: 3D Gift Bag with the Notes and Totes Bundle

Let’s step outside the card base today and into 3D! I created this adorable little tote bag using the Notes and Totes bundle from Stampin’ Up! and it’s the perfect size for a gift card, chocolates, or even a few wrapped candies. Whether you’re looking for teacher gifts, party favors, or something fun to surprise a friend, this sweet tote checks all the boxes!

This mini tote comes together with just a few die cuts and some strong adhesive. I used Garden Green cardstock for the base, giving it a rich and earthy feel, then added a floral patch from the Lovely Garden DSP (or your favorite patterned paper!) to create a sweet pocket detail.

The tote handles are die cut from Early Espresso cardstock, and I added a Basic Beige scarf element for a simple but polished touch. You could absolutely jazz this up with ribbon, tags, or a mini clothespin—so many options!

And yes—it fits a gift card perfectly inside, along with a few little goodies if you’re feeling generous. It’s sturdy, stylish, and super quick to put together!

Use Tear & Tape or Stampin’ Up!’s strong liquid glue to assemble 3D projects like this one. You’ll get a clean hold that’s built to last—especially if you’re adding a gift card or candy weight!
