There’s a new printer in town and you’re going to LOVE it. With Valentine’s Day upon us, I figured I’d introduce you. Consider it a blind date of sorts.
His name is the Canon TS8020 printer – yeah, I know, weird name for a date but hey, roll with me on this one. He’s new in town but has tons of great qualities that you’re going to love.
He’s got a sleek, modern style and he’s dropped a few pounds. His new, more compact size is great for your workspace, since you don’t need much room for him. My very favorite thing about the Canon TS8020 is his rear…his rear paper feed tray, that is. (Get your mind out of the gutter!) The rear feed tray is perfect for loading your favorite craft paper and heavier cardstocks without worries of paper jamming. Then, of course, there’s wireless printing capabilities which means you don’t have to be tethered to your TS8020 in order to print. Every healthy relationship needs breathing room, right?
The Canon TS8020 comes from a family of really great printers, so if you still want to play the field a bit before settling down with your perfect match – take a look at your options.
And before you make your decision, how about I show you just how cool the Canon TS8020 printer is.
I teamed up with KBecca to create the most adorable printable treat bags…that are food safe, because we printed them directly onto freezer paper! Here’s how we did it:
Supplies:
- Canon PIXMA TS8020
- Scissors
- Tape runner
- Roll of freezer paper
BUT WHY FREEZER PAPER?! Freezer paper is matte on one side and waxed on the other. The matte side is perfect for printing and the waxed side is great for packaging foods because it protects oils from seeping through. With that nifty rear paper feeding tray, you can print with cool and different mediums like freezer paper.
Trim the freezer paper roll into 8.5×11 sheets and load them into the rear tray of the TS8020 printer. From there you can print the treat bag designs. Once printed, score down the dotted lines…
Cut out the treat bag with scissors
Fold down the scored lines and adhere the back of the bag together with tape.
Fold up the bottom flap of the bag and adhere into place
One lucky reader will be awarded a long-term relationship with a pretty, pretty, printer. Enter to win below by commenting on this post with why you’d love to win a brand new printer!

This project was completed in partnership with Canon. All projects, photos and opinions are mine, mine, mine! Thanks for supporting the collaborations that keep the lights on in this joint!
Amber, what a fantastic idea of using freezer paper to print! My mind is going wild just thinking of all the things I can print on the red Canon printer and freezer paper; mixed media, projects, cards, envelopes… Wow!
Thanks for the chance!
Hugs, Carmen
Dear Canon TS8020,
It has been quite some time since I’ve felt butterflies over someone so attractive as you. Looks aside, it sounds like you really know how to have a good time. Now, I’m not for one for long walks on the beach, but I’ve been known to craft all.night.long. I need someone in my life that can keep up with all.of.this. We’re talkin’ pocket page scrapbooking, digital print outs, photos, cards, stationary, planner pages, home decor, food packaging, party planning…I could go on forever baby. My last guy called it quits so early, and I was left hanging & heartbroken…I *almost* lost my creative mojo! I still haven’t found Mr. Right. So why don’t you give me a shot? I’m single and ready to mingle with someone as fine as you!

What wouldn’t I print with Mr Canon TS8020?! Here are some things I would print – photos of my daughters for my mother-in-law, colouring sheets for my daughters (including the Damask Love calendar which we don’t have all the months for yet!), recipes, lists, lists and more lists to help me get organised, cute lunchbox notes for my daughters (and maybe the husband too), labels, more photos!
I love to create things in photoshop, then print my designs. I’m currently making valentines and printing onto matte photo paper. I can’t WAIT to try the freezer paper technique. Why didn’t I think of that?
I would love this for projects. This printer will make my projects look soo cute
This is super cute. The freezer paper holds color well. I didn’t expect it to be so bright. Thank you for sharing as always!
I would love to use this to print out invitations or cards using my heavy cardstock. Love those treat bags! Who knew to use freezer paper in a printer! Fantastic idea!
The printable Valentine Paper you share is great.
