Elegant Floral Gift Packaging Trio!

Do you need an elegant gift packaging idea for a wedding or another special event? These gift packaging projects are just what you need. This tutorial includes a 4-1/4” square gift box, gift bag, and a treat pouch. The square box is perfect for gifts 4” or smaller, the gift bag is a perfect way to make a card/gift card extra special, and the treat pouch would be a perfect way to give treats to wedding guests. All three packages feature the products in the Floral Boutique Suite. This would also make a great product-based class.

Creation Station Get Well Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Creation Station Blog Hop for August! Our theme this month is Get Well! So my interpretation and project can be used as a Get Well card/gift, but also could be used just to cheer someone up for any occasion! 

I Love the Jars of Love Stamp Set and Everyday Jars Framelits - there are so many options with this bundle!! And the jars are so trendy right now!

Here's a closer look at the card (sorry about the change in lighting...). The colors are Sweet Sugarplum, Soft Suede and Crumb Cake - a soothing color scheme.

And here's the quick and easy 'giftie'. It's the new 3" x 6" Gusseted Cellophane Bags - with a piece of Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper scored, and slipped inside! - So easy, but sooo cute, huh?! Put your treats inside, and add a Gold Binder Clip with a coordinating Sugarplum Ruched bow - tah dah! 

I hope you enjoyed my quick, but thoughtful 'Get Well' or Cheer Up! And here are the posts of two other fabulous stampers...

Patriotic for a Challenge!

I guess I was feeling patriotic today in making this card for the Creating Pretty Cards Challenge over at Craft Project Central! This card reminds me of a card I made a while back. It had punched out stars, leaving the Crumb Cake to show through. But I liked the idea of having the stars subtle, but with some dimension! 

  

And, I added some 'bling' with the new Silver Metallic Shapes - cute, and similar to the Rhinestone Jewels, but no faceting on the bling. I also added some Silver Metallic Thread - love the addition of a little more bling in a subtle way!

And here's the Sketch that I used -
