Dropping in quickly in this second day of December (!!?!) to share with you some ideas for gift giving with using Imaginisce's latest Christmas line, Colors of Christmas.
The Colors of Christmas collection is just perfect for all your gift giving needs!! I created both a Christmas-y (yes, that's the technical term!) gift bag and non-holiday, more winter themed gift box using the collection. That's what is so brilliant about it; both Christmas and winter/snow all combined into one great collection! Throw in some Hot Rocks along with the bling and it's festivity at it's best!!
First up, an upcycled gift bag. I save things. I like to find a new purpose for "old" things. I covered up somebody elses logo on this kraft bag and turned it into my own gift bag. It would have just ended up in recycling otherwise. Why not put it to good use? It looked just fine, there was nothing wrong with it.
Inspired by the patterned paper with the hanging ornaments, I fussy cut two out and used a die cut journaling spot for the third. "Solid" paper from one of the previous Imaginisce collections was used to die cut the boughs out of.
Everything is on a base of kraft cardstock that I just adhered over the large company logo that I no longer had use for.
This little gem of a gift box was fun to make. I envision a pair of earrings for my daughter in it. It could be used just for a winter gift and does not have to be Christmas if you took the "Noel" banner off.
Wanting to dress up the box some and give it character, I punched snowflakes in the sides and blinged them up a bit. This is THE time of year for the iRock!! Bling everything up!
The hole in the center of the die cut snowflake was the perfect place to insert a loop of ribbon for a fun "pull tab" of sorts that one can lift the gift box open with. Add a little more bling and you're good to gift! LOL!!
I hope you're inspired to create some of your own gift giving amenities this year! Do you have anything you would like to share? Link it up! I'd love to see it!
