Making Christmas Packaging with Stampin’ Up

I know it is a bit early to think about packaging for gifts, but if you are going to be making your own packaging, here is a cut design for a special "little gift".  We made these bags from the Muslin Bags item # 132180.

 


And the Expressions Thinlits Dies item # 132171

This is the cute little bad that we made.  We also stamped with the Joyful Christmas Stamp set, item # 131805.

We used the brushed bleach technique on the Poinsettias and leaves.  Every bag was different.  I can think of lots of different designs to use with this.  Think I will play with these this weekend and the snowflakes.

Another great tool for doing up packaging, is the Gift Bow Bigz Die.

She sure makes it look simple.  This video gives you just some of the variations that you can make.   What are you going to do with your packaging?

Have a wonderful day.

Stampingly,
