Good morning friends and welcome! We have a fun challenge starting today at SHOPPING OUR STASH: Pretty Packaging! We'd like to see your gift, or gift card, packaging. Think altered boxes, bags, tags, anything that would hold a gift or gift card. I bought a package of white pillow boxes a couple years ago, and so that's what I used for my project:
Yep, I made two! I used strips of patterned paper and snowman stickers I've had in my Christmas stash for years. Once I adhered the patterned paper to the pillow box, I die cut two sizes of ovals, and a scalloped frame. Stuck the sticker on the white oval, glued the scalloped frame to it, then that to the black oval. Then used a few foam squares across the back of the oval to adhere to the pillow box. Lastly, I tied on some twine. Super easy and fun to make!
I hope you find some time to play along this week at Shopping Our Stash! Also, since it's a new month, we have a new Guest Designer! Welcome Beth! (a.k.a. Myoriah!) We are thrilled to have you join us this month!
For more inspiration, do check out what my teammates came up with for this challenge, visit their blogs and leave them some bloggy lovin!
Just a reminder: We are looking for Guest Designers now! If you'd like to be considered for January, simply leave a "DT" after your name when you link up! Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

ReplyDeleteThese are adorable, Chris! Love those belly bands around the boxes, and your layered labels are fabulous. Such sweet little snowman stickers. Way to rock that stash!
ReplyDeleteHi, Chris,
ReplyDeleteYour pillow boxes are wonderful! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I don't know how my post got back to a draft status! It couldn't possibly have been all that wine! Great execution and wonderful composition on box boxes!
Hugz,

Great idea! These are so cute! I bet it was fun to mix and match the snowman images with the various strips of patterned paper! (And look at you with your cute seasonal background :))
ReplyDeleteHello Chris: Fabulous pillow boxes, they are perfect to hold sweet goodies or perhaps some pretty jewelry.
ReplyDeleteBut I love even more how you decorated them, those stickers are the cutest.
