This week's challenge from
Catered Crop is to "Pack It Up" - focus on the packages; the tags, the bows, the treat boxes - any fun thing to give a little treat to someone.
I have a fun new toy that works perfectly for this challenge. It is a
Card Hanger Die from Laurie Willison over at
Soapbox Creations.
Can you tell what this die does? It's a fantastic little creation that allows you to decorate a gift bag with a card!!
Because this card hangs on the gift bag - it can be more dimensional than usual so I finally got to use a bow die! Think of all the fun things you could put on a card if it were actually the bag decoration! Here's the card by itself (it really is a card!)
Laurie has three designs of these bag hangers and a great video to give you two ways to use it.
(I think I'm going to invest in a large supply of brown paper gift bags!!)
I hope you all decide to play along. I don't do much packaging - I have a number of dies for treat boxes and tags but they just don't come out often. I would love to be inspired by what you create!!
