I used the Gift Bag Punch Board to make this packaging for the present. I think she liked it almost as much as the earrings!

| The little flowers and leaves in the Lovely Friends stamp set make for a great patterned paper |
I used the new double stamping flower images and leaves from the new Lovely Friends stamp set that will be available in the 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue to turn a piece of Thick Very Vanilla cardstock (also in the new catalogue) into patterned cardstock. The colours I chose to use match those in the earrings: Perfect Plum, Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive, Peekaboo Peach and Tangerine Tango.

| This Just Add Text image makes a great gift tag |
I tied the bag with a length of Peekaboo Peach Ruched Ribbon and added a gift tag stamped with the new Just Add Text stamp set (from the 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue). I used my Stampin' Write markers in the same colours as the gift bag to colour the flowers and added a little flower made with the retiring Botanical Builder framelits (I'm REALLY going to miss those!). The little flower covers up the words "to me" because I didn't want the message to sound weird!
Thank you for visiting.
'Til next time!

Stephanie, I can see why your friend liked the packaging...it's a gift in itself. Beautiful!! I'm so looking forward to getting my hands on the thick vanilla card stock! And the Botanical framelits...I'm heart broken over seeing them on the retiring list. But time heals our pain and when we get to play with all the fun new things in the new catalog...well, it won't hurt as badly. They remain in my stash and make an appearance here and there, I'm sure! Gorgeous Gift Bag, Friend!
ReplyDeleteHey there, RaeDeen! Thank you! The thick Very Vanilla is fantastic! I think it'll take me a while to adjust to life without the Botanical framelits! But, as you say, I'm already distracted by all the new toys! So far, I've hoarded everything that has retired but I'm getting to the point where I'm going to have start parting with things (or find a bigger craft room - and I don't see that in my future!).
DeleteThank you again - it's always so lovely to hear from you! x
