Today I delivered my last Christmas Wish List items purchased by a husband of one of my customers. She is one LUCKY lady! She's getting lots of goodies, including some items for free since the order qualified for hostess benefits.
I have been taught by my husband's family to not only wrap Christmas gifts, but to decorate them as well. So here are all the packages wrapped and decorated in a very special way.
For the gift tags-
- I used Two Tags die with Old Olive card stock in the Big Shot to make the base of the gift tags.
- I also used My Digital Studio to print out the snowflake scallop design from Sweet Season stamp set to punch with the Scallop Circle punch.
BTW, I don't own Sweet Season, an $18.95 stamp set, but it comes in My Digital Studio - along with 60 other stamps sets - a value over $1100.00 for only $79.95!!! (I'll explain how to print the stamped images in another post.)
^ The obligatory curling ribbon. I vowed to only use it on one package.
^ I like using yarn. It gives texture to your packages.
^ Elegant and Classic
^ Notice I dove-tailed/duck-tailed the ribbon on the ends. You can make a pretty star-burst design in the center of your package with this decorating technique.
^ This one is my favorite package decoration. I took the inexpensive bows from the store and jazz them up a bit with curling your ribbon on top of the package between the two bows! Love it!
^ This is a Treat Box from page 159 in the catalog. I used ribbon from the 2U Simply Sent Card Elements. Super simple to wrap a small gift.
^ This one is decorated with ribbon in the shape of a "D" for Debbie.
^ Here are all the packages boxed up for delivery. I coordinated the item on the receipt with a sticky note, just in case the items were being given by other family members. The hubby told me they were all from him. Like I said, one lucky lady! (Enjoy your goodies Debbie!)
Merry Christmas Eve Eve!
Now get those packages wrapped AND decorated.
