Wow….wasn’t hop yesterday SUPER SPRING fun? I hope that you all had time to hop 21 times as there was so much talent out there. My head is swimming with ideas and I am excited to do some CASING!
By now, you know that I love packaging as I think that it is the icing on the cake that truly makes a difference. I think many of you forget the great packaging products that we have.
Today I am using the Glassine Gift Bags ~ it is simple, I would never be without these bags as they are simply the best for my big cookies. My family likes (and makes comments to me if I change) BIG COOKIES and these bags are the perfect accent for 2 BIG cookies to fit into.
True, you could just go ahead and give them in the bag but I think that the way I did it today is SOOOOOO much more fun and special! Because I used glue dots to adhere the fun flowers, I bet you could easily pull them off and re-use them on a card! Sounds like a winner to me – what do you think?
I shared with you yesterday that I was going to be show casing this stamp set for the next 2 days….or I shall say – the bundle – Special Reason….as it is one special bundle. (I adore how the framelits cut out) and I also coupled it with one of my all time favorite thank you sets, One Big Meaning!
I used this stamp set last year for one of my Classes to GO! (kit in the mail) and it was a smile maker to me to pull it off the shelf for you! I think that it is important to have a couple great thank you sets, and this one is a keeper 🙂 I adore the fonts and whenever I see this….I smile – it fits the bill for many cards that we make…
The next 2 pictures will show you “up front and center” the details of today’s post. One thing that I will say all the time is…USE IT UP – if you have ribbon that is not current with Stampin’ Up!….guess what – USE IT UP…..This ribbon has been discontinued for make years but it still works…again, use it up!
In the 2nd picture you can see that I placed a piece of Washi Tape over the staple….again – USE IT UP! This is a quick and fun accent to make the fun sparkle…
It is truly about the little details that not only make it special but it also makes you feel great! Try it….you’ll be super happy.
You might be saying to yourself that this must be a pain to adhere….see the picture below and you will see the tip for you ~ LOVE THOSE GLUE DOTS!
Always tell yourself (as it is soooooo true) ~ there are many ways to get some accomplished without frustration!
I hope that this has inspired you to take an extra step in making someones day….cause’ I know it will….trust me! Enjoy the day!
It is truly amazing what we can do with crafting…stamping…creating ~ let you talent shine as I know your efforts will make a difference to someone….GO FOR IT! 😀
Stunning packaging idea and (of course; it’s SUSAN!) flawless execution. Just perfect, from color choices to layout of the flower and sentiment tag. It’s like one glorious embellishment. Great photos, too!
Awe… you are too sweet. I am trying to step out of my comfort box and use colors that I rarely do.
I do love purple but a rarely use it!
You DO know how to make someone’s day special! With packaging like this you just can’t go wrong. Love your color choices too!
Darn I wish we lived closer…oh what fun we would have together!
Beautiful package! Too pretty to open . . . but . . . 🙂
You have had my cookies. I love to cook but I also love to fru-fru to makes pretty packages. ?
Very pretty! The color combo just cries Spring and sunshine and surely will put a smile on the recipient ‘s face.
Hmmmmm…get ready to smile!!!?
??????????!
Oh my gosh, I love the colors!!! The entire package is just a spring dream! Another one to CASE!!! Hmmm, I wonder if you share the chocolate chip cookie recipe??? So yummy!!!!
Hello my egg lady….nope-ginger today….with GROUND cloves!!!!! Ha-ha!!!!
? ? ?
Wow!! Stunning packaging!! I love the color combo and the way the flowers and leaves curve around the end of the tag:-). Well done!!
It’s all about this bundle….it makes it so easy when you have the right tools.
Love it! Very nice! Yeah, please share the cookie recipe!
Precious and a sure smile maker!!! Thanks for pointing out how simple you attached the leaf parts together….I am one of those with the green glue in hand thinking I need to glue every bit of the backside!!! Yup that’s me you were talking to. ?
Very cute way to gift those delicious cookies. So are you going to share the recipe with us? We looooove cookies.
Fantabulistic! And yes, please share your Big Cookie recipe!
I love the colors you chose for this project. I am guessing it’s “Wisteria Wonder” and “So Saffron”. If so they are gorgeous together. Love the BIG tag. A great package topper.
Be still my beating heart! Yes these package toppers are fantastic and oh so pretty but I also had a piece a chocolate cake and a Diet Coke a few minutes ago. Hey, give me a break as I had breakfast at 5:30 and have walked Ted etc. Besides, the cake was just baked yesterday and I could still smell the goodness as we came in from our walk. I didn’t have any great Susan cookies so I HAD to partake in the cake to make sure it was still good for a meeting tonight. Back to the packaging…..I think I need one of these so I can see if the flowers are reusable by using the glue dots. The colors are so pretty together. I had to smile as in my sugar rush I thought there was a butterfly on there but then I read it was ribbon and by golly once I could focus again, it is a pretty ribbon bow. Plus an enamel dot which we know I love. I don’t think I ever ate candy dots – I think I would have used the real candy dots to decorate something. Every time you use this set, I say I gotta order it but I think I haven’t yet. I just looked at my group of thank you stamps and I don’t see it. Yep – you heard me II have lots of my stamps grouped into categories. Mike still doesn’t know how or why I got a wild hair up my ____ one day and put them in proper groups but at least they are out of three rooms and into the “craft room” as we are naming it now instead of Junk Room #1. I don’t have this gorgeous flower bundle either but maybe I can make some other type of flowers since I also have a group of flower stamps but yours are so cool looking. Plus, I know where my flag punch is to make these lovelies. So, now I just gotta get that stamp set – One big meaning to get started on these. That touch of Washi tape that goes so well is also pretty cool too. I guess I will have to rethink my colors to match some Washi tape I have. Is it a wonder I ever get anything done – now I am imagining colors to use on these tags! Enough, I think I am crashing after my sugar rush.
What gorgeous packaging and your cookies are divine!
