Hi there!
I love paper! Not just any paper, but beautiful paper! :-) And when I think about giving gifts, I can't imagine anything better than handmade packaging using the beautiful paper that i love so much!
I have found that making the packaging ahead of time is so helpful...especially when I'm in a hurry! :-)
For my first gift bag, I started with some scraps of patterned paper (from the Dance in Sunshine collection) and then layered on a couple of Whatnots, a Glitzer, and an Epoxy Sticker (all from the Dance in Sunshine collection).
On top of the Glitzer, I added a button that I found in my stash. I SO love Glitzers! Stickers with bling already in them...be still my heart!
To top it all off, I tied a bow and added a Giant Rhinestone to the center. Just look at that sparkle!
My second gift bag features papers and embellishments from the Happy Travels collection.
Here's a close-up of the focal image. I created it by layering a Cardstock Sticker over some patterned paper and an inked distressed doily. I then layered a stamped sentiment (from the Happy Travels Clear Stamps) over a Glitzer.
To finish the bag off, I added a couple of different ribbons and a tag stamped with a sentiment that could be used for any occassion. And of course, some more bling! :-)
Thanks so much for joining me here! I hope you get a chance to create something beautiful today! ~Laurie
