I have to confess. I am not a huge fan of Christmas.
When I was about 16 I realized there was just way too much
fuss!
Yes I am Bah Humbug
In my early 20’s I
was a nanny.
Having Jacob around my house I got into the Christmas spirit.
He
loved the lights. So more lights I put up.
Once again with no kids around the
house, the magic is gone.
I even hate wrapping presents. But I do love to wrap
gift cards and such.
yes we have a BRIGHT PINK tree
{would you expect anything else from me?}
{I'm kinda obsessed with these old vintage light ups}
This year we Kevin and I gave mostly gift cards, and we made
fudge for the peeps at Starbucks.
I had a lot of fun packaging these things.
Hey its what I do best!
I started off with a shipping tag. I stamped a Christmas
sentiment on the stamp {not shown}. I then took a glue dot and attached the
gift card to the tag. With a piece of scrap music sheet, I wrapped the tag
& gift card. I then glued some greens {cut with my cameo} and sequins,
added a sticker and then tied with some twine. I slipped the tag into a mini chevron
treat bag.
I then slipped the chevron bag into a glassine bag. I topped
it off with a raffle ticket that I had sewn a punched snowflake onto, and stuck
a fabric sticker on top.
For the main package I took a brown paper bag {you know old
school lunch bags} cut of the bottom fold it over and stitched a red zigzag.
After I filled the bag with the contents {gift card} I folded the top over and
sealed with washi. I folded the doily in half, and glued down. I cut the large
snowflake and reindeer with my cameo. I stitched mini market {October
Afternoon} to the deer. Glued the deer down, glued the snowflake down. The other
snowflakes are punches that I have. I punched and then sprinkled the sequins,
and viola.
For the fudge and peppermint bark, I simple took the same
snowflakes, and raffle tags I had made. I folded over the top of the glassine
bags and stapled it altogether with my tiny attacher
