Season's greetings

Here is wishing one and all a wonderful blessed Christmas! 

More framed cards

Like any thing new once tried and the process refined things become easy, here are two different size framed cards. The size is smaller than that of my previous post.

So here is hoping to give you an inspiration.

Framed card

I was so inspired by my beautiful packaging in my earlier post. I've seen the idea in Pinterest and decided this will be my theme for month of January. 

This  idea gives  the card a  special edge compared to the other beautiful cards I've made before. The design also provides lots of potential if you can visualise how it can be used for gift packaging as well.

I'm so delighted with the outcome and I'm sure this will be a keeper card.

Another packaging to personalise that present

The previous blog showed you how packaging your present in a box with window and flowers can make that gift look so impressive. If you like the present to be totally a surprise then here is another of presenting your gift. 

Make a bag to fit the present, this one is a hand lotion so the top part is wider that the tube cap. Keep the base of the bag to fit the tube cap diameter (square base bag) but when you seal the bag instead of making it look like a actual bag shape fold in a triangular piece on both sides to give the flat top and to fit the wide end of the lotion tube. This can sometimes be frustrating to pack but using a bag idea to package products that come in tubes is not going to be challenge anymore. 

Once you have done it, you'll love this idea of packaging.

Make your present very special by giving it your special creative touch.

Packaging for a present

It's the time of the year that we all like to give people we love something special. It might not be the most expensive thing to give but the satisfaction you get in the process of choosing what to give and how to present it the most exquisite way is just heart warming experience.

I always like to think that the people I touch this time of the year will appreciate all the thoughts put into what they receive. 

Take into account that most people you give something at Christmas are likely to already have everything they want, the thought of giving will always give someone a smile. It is not how much you bought the present for but it is how you can bring someone a smile and how they appreciate your thoughtfulness .

So how can you make something little look so impressive. The way you package something is the secret. 

For all your lovely lady friends, Mums, daughters, nieces and grandmothers this is a simple way to give their present a special touch.

So here we go, match the flowers with the product colour and it just finishes off your present.

Card in a box from my home to yours

I was in the middle of making treat boxes for colleagues when I thought of making a special card to a very special supportive colleague . I had to keep in mind that NZ is full of pines and so i have to use festival of trees stamp. It has to feel the special Christmas theme so have to put tree trimmings to it.

So what do you think?

Thank you goodies!

I've been busy lately with end of year tidy up at work. So I haven't been able to design or make a card to date. But since it's the last day at work tomorrow I just have to make these thank you treats for my colleagues.

These were fun to make .

Notepad in blue

It has been fun making various easel card of different sizes. The idea of making an easel card as a notepad folder has been inspired by the concept of having a table placement card using easel design and as a party token as one,  pretty much was the guide brief 

So here we go.

Thank you notepad

 I have made this thank you notepad as a thank you token for someone who made an order through a card making demo at work. It is based on an easel card design and covered the biro with the background panel paper.

I'm very happy how this turned out.

Saturday Golf Ladies Christmas Dinner

This is always a must for me to attend. I get to share some of my little quick creations with the ladies. Tonight's creation were the sweet treat boxes. They just look cool around the advent candle on the coffee table. 

These was a take home goodies for my golfing ladies.
