Cello bags are a cute and easy way to nicely package off gifts. Typically, one would tie them up with a nice ribon or make a little topper.
Here, I've taken an idea from our last Stampin Up covention in Australia and punched a little "handle" with the Word window punch and finished off with a bit of wide ribbon. It's a nice way to package up something that's relatively flat.
I made up these little Summer Mini Sampler packs for my demonstrators levels 2-5 who attended our Christmas Breakfast. Each pack had a 6×6 of each print in either Tall Tales or Kaleidascope plus matching ribbons and buttons or grommets. And also a truffle, of course. Can't give a gift without a bit of chocolate!
I thought you might find the packaging method useful. And maybe the idea of making up a little sampler for a gift would appeal to someone on your list, too.
I have a few left over – leave a comment and I'll have a random draw for a winner of one of these packs!
Supplies Used:
Large Cello Bags pkg of 50 for $11.25 (pg 130)
Tall Tales DSP, Kaleidascop DSP, various ribbons, Sherbet and Playground buttons, small grommets

These are very cute, Jacque! I know Karla had a hard time tossing up between these and a stamp set (the stamps won though!)

great gift idea Jacque, very colourful & useful.
I had a hard time deciding also, but the free level one hostess was my pick.
many thanks for a wonderful breakfast, it was great being able to catch up with some of the team.

I love the clean simplicity of these bags and the cheerful colours make the packs so fresh and inviting. The flowers look so summery which is great at this time of year.
