may challenge

It's Design Team Challenge Day at Lizzie Anne, and this month I challenged the girls to design or decorate packaging with stamping. For my project, I went to my trusty packaging solution... stamping a kraft gift bag and making a matching tag. I know it's not the most complicated project, but honestly, I have made DOZENS of these. The thing is it doesn't take very long --which important for me when I'm in a rush to find cute packaging for a gift. I stock lots of different sizes of kraft gift bags and tissue paper specifically for stamping.




Here is a bag I stamped with the butterfly images that are in the new June Mix Set.. Life is Good. The butterflies are two of my favorite images in this set because I like 2-step stamping... which is the perfect type of stamping for making a pattern on a gift bag. First I stamped the solid/pattern butterfly in glimmery lavender ink all over my bag, and then I used the dotted-line butterfly to go over the top in dark purple ink.



I made this cute matching tag with the butterflies again and also the Enjoy sentiment from Vintage Verses (this is becoming a go-to sentiment set for me.) Tie some cute ribbon through the tag, attach it the bag, and stuff in some matching tissue paper and you're ready to hide a gift in there!
