Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you one of my customer gifts that I sent out recently. Each week I offer a new Deal of the Week for people that place a qualifying order using a host code. Next to the last week in April I offered a pack of Basic Rhinestones to anyone that ordered that week. Once I close out the host code for the month I order all the products that were offered during the month then once they come in I have been trying to create a really cute packaging idea for each product. This time I used the Copper Dotted Treat Bags and my packaging, along with some other products. Here's a look at how I packaged the Rhinestones.
Tips & Tricks:
Once I figured out how I was going to decorate my little gift bags I started prepping all the supplies. I decided to use the Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper as my belly band. When I cut the designer series paper a certain way I can get five belly bands from one sheet of paper. I cut cut each belly band at 3" x 7". So I start by cutting one from the either the bottom or the top and then flip it around and cut the other four in the opposite direction. Once I had everything cut I simply wrapped it around the treat bag after placing the pack of Rhinestones inside. I secured the belly band with a strip of Tear & Tape in the seam on the back.
Once I had the belly band wrapped around the treat bag, I then wrapped around some of the Black 1/2" Satin Ribbon around and tied it in a pretty little knot. I wanted to add a little texture and pretty to the bag, and to make it look a little more like the gift it is. I then stamped the Thank You sentiment from the Stitched All Around Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. By using the black ribbon I also tied in the black from the ink color as well. Plus black goes with everything.
I then took the Layering Circle Dies and cut out the stamped sentiment and a Blushing Bride Circle so that I could layer them up together. I used a Stampin' Dimensional on the stamped circle and a couple behind the Blushing Bride Circle so that they not only pop the sentiment up but secure the ribbon in place so that the ribbon does not move to much. And that finishes how I decorated the treat bags. The Copper Dotted Treat Bags, the Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper, and the Black 1/2" Satin Ribbon are all on the last chance list and I personally think that you should stock up on them before they are gone, since they are while supplies last.
I think these treat bags are perfect for so many gift packaging ideas and can be decorated in so many different ways. Thank you for dropping by today I hope you have a wonderful weekend. I will be sharing a new project tomorrow with you so make sure you drop back in to see what I have tomorrow. If you need any of these supplies you can pick them up in my online store. I will also tell you that the Follow Your Art is on sale at about 60% off so it's a super great deal right now.
Happy Stampin'
