In today's post, I want to share some boxes
and bags... for gift wrapping. These were all made by starting with kits --- quick and easy --- and so much fun! The long, rectangular boxes are from our big catalog and the cute little muslin bags are from our Holiday Catalog. Here we go:
As you can see, I've also used our new Gift Bow Die for the boxes, another quick and easy way to create beautiful gift wrapping. I've included the 2 window boxes in the photo to show you 2 ways to make the bows. You can have 1 layer or 2 layers of loops. I've used Liquid Tombow Adhesive to put the bows together. You need a stronger hold on the bows, especially with the glimmer paper.
Tip:
I use little mini clamps or plastic clothespins to hold each piece together until the adhesive dries.
I can think of all kinds of wonderful things that you could put inside all these containers. Do you have any ideas?
Again, to make this quick and easy I used tags that were already cut. The Pretty Presents Designer Tags come 16 in a package, so you can really do a lot of gift wrapping with them. To bump them up a notch, I added stamped pieces that were punched out --- again, quick and easy. I attached them with dimensionals and tied the tags onto the bag with our pretty silver ribbon. Both stamps are from the V
ery Merry Tags stamp set. This is a great set for making all kinds of fun tags for Christmas. It's in our Holiday Catalog (p.33).
Tip:
I used a sponge dauber and inks (Cherry Cobbler, Bermuda Bay, Silver Metallic Encore Pad) to create the cute little polka dots on the bags.
