Good Friday to you! Now this week FLEW by but it was a great week! Today I have for you the icing on the cake! WHAT??? Let me back up!
On Wednesday and Thursday I shared with you cards that I made for friends and today I am sharing with you how I put it all together! It’s kinda like Peanut Butter and Jelly….there’s nothing better!
I like…no, I LOVE to coordinate things. To me, it is the icing on the cake and when you have the right products – it works! I know to many that this might be something that seem like a lot of work and effort but to me, it is fun!
I am a gal that adores wrapping gifts no matter what the value of the gift is. To me, there is nothing like the feeling you have when you are given a beautifully packaged gift/goodie or to give one that is beautiful like these are. Trust me, you remember it and for those that are getting it remember as well!
We have fabulous packaging right at our fingertips at Stampin’ Up! I like to think of it as a game and I have a huge stash of fru-fru but it is the kinda fru-fru that makes me smile!
If you receive a stamp from me from rewards or even a product share….I try to always make it a bit special as “I get it”…we all like to feel and see something fun and festive! Who doesn’t like “happy mail” or a little something special left unexpectedly on ones desk!?
What’s inside of this sweet bag? YUM, some of my big, soft and chewy Ginger Cookies! I wrap them first in saran wrap and then slide them into this sweet and festive bag!
The ribbon…..you have from 2 spectrums…the black and white stripe is a NEWBIE in the upcoming catalog and then other narrow stripe ribbon is in the clearance rack (it is only $3.60!)
You see….you will find treasures everywhere and you bet that this ribbon will be re-purposed for another project. I do that all of the time and I am sure that the people receiving this will as well! New kids on the block make a splash and the seasoned kids in the clearance rack still are shining bright!
So the moral of this story is to look high and low…make a place in your home to stash your packaging fru-fru! Having a fun assortment of goodies ready at your fingertips makes it super easy and fun to take a little something….and make it a really BIG something!
See you in the morning!
Oozes sophistication. Love the two projects as a coordinated duo.
Thanks Mary….I love easy math…1+2+3!!! It is always a happy feeling inside when we can coordinate things!
Love how you coordinated stripes and gingham. I love to wrap things. Even if it is only tied in a ribbon, I like the little extra it gives.
YOUR “peanut butter and jelly” is the BEST! They are going to love this! Not to mention the best Ginger Cookies EVER!
Awe shucks…you are always a smile maker! I love to cook but baking is not my strength…..but I will say, I love me ginger cookies!
Love this and love coordination, too! I always feel special when I receive a package from you and I agree, your ginger cookies are THE best! Hugs to you, Susan. ?
Ok – I need to re-type my ginger cookies and share…when it is Fall…it is ginger cookie time!
Adorable ! Maybe you need to market those cookies everyone raves about !!
You do make packages special …..just like you !!
Oh Sonny…..keep twisting my arm and your wishes will be granted!
One point for me, I just knew you were going to do something with those gold striped treat bags as part 3! Very cute and very special to hold some very special cookies! The HUGS tag is a bonus. Hugs to you for a great surprise for your goddaughter!
Pretty bag….yummy cookies – WORKS WONDERS each and every time!
Love the coordinating duo. I envy those of you who are all about packaging and wrapping and ribbons and foo fluff. I just don’t have it in me. If I do anything at all, I wad the wrapping paper around the present and call it good. People who know me well enough to know I’m a paper crafter can’t believe it.
REALLY…I am shocked! I would think that the Princess would love to be the fru-fru queen = I think that I like wrapping as much as giving!
Really, really need that cookie recipe! Have I missed it?
Thanks for all your guidance and creativity!
Hang tight Sandra…I am going to re-type it and post it in the near future! Now is coming on the best time of the year to make these gems to mail!
I love how you used the “hugs” to make the tag. The Lovely Inside and Out is one of the best bundles in the catalog…so versatile. When I first saw it, I thought to get just the framelits but I am glad I did the bundle because the stamps make really fun backgrounds.
Well said my friend…it is a great bundle and I sure hope we keep coming out with more sentiments like this!
I love these as a “package”, Susan. The gold striped paper and bag are so elegant and really makes a pop with the pretty ribbon. You are the best when it comes to packaging all your products. Have a great weekend.
Hi Hilda….thanks for the sweet comment….you should have received some “happy mail” from me yesterday (Saturday) if not….tomorrow!
Now don’t get too excited – no cookies but there is a stamp!!!
