Stampin’ Up! Reason for the Season Gift Packaging and New Weekly Deals!

Posted on December 22, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I have just a quick post for you this morning. I am on my way out to pick up some last-minute gifts and groceries, then I will be home to wrap, wrap, wrap! I've discovered a new word that describes my personality; "tidoptimist", meaning I think I have more time to accomplish my "to do" list than I actually have!

Today I'm sharing the gift packaging I created with the Cozy Christmas stamp set, Home for Christmas Designer Paper, Festive Flower Builder Punch, Snowflake Elements, and Home for Christmas Enamel Dots:

I needed a quick wrapping solution, so after wrapping with retired Stampin' Up! wrapping paper I found on the Clearance Rack last spring, I cut two strips of Home for Christmas Designer Paper 1 1/2" x 12", adhered together with Fast Fuse around the package, then stamped and punched the leaves with Mossy Meadow card stock and ink, Reason for the Season stamps, and Festive Flower Builder Punch. I added a Snowflake Element and Real Red Enamel Dot. For the tag I stamped a Cozy Christmas phrase once with Early Espresso on Very Vanilla, punched with the Note Tag Punch, cleaned my stamp, then stamped again with Real Red on a vanilla scrap. I then cut out "MERRY" with my paper snips to create the banner I adhered over the tag for an easy color addition.

I used the same design for a bunch of little gifts using the Kraft Tag a Bag gift bags:

I loved how quick these came together!

All of these items are still available to order in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Hey there! Busy, busy, busy weekend! We had our final Holiday Open House and Vendor Fair on Saturday, which was very well attended, and then on Sunday evening we threw the twins baby shower at church. Whew!

So today I have some cute little swaps to share!

Tamie Ackerson created this adorable little gift card holder with Merry Moments Designer Paper, Home for Christmas Designer Paper, Snow Place stamps set, and Gift Card Envelope and Trims dies:

Cindy Ewertz also used Merry Moments Designer Paper and the Gift Card Envelope and Trims dies, adding in the Oh What Fun stamp set for her creation:

She attached the gift card holder to the inside of the belly band!

Finally, Jan Rodrian used Red Foil paper with the Embellished Ornaments and Delicate Ornaments Dies for her gift card holder:

She used a die from the Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits to cut the slot to insert the gift card:
