Simple Stories - Cozy Christmas - Happy Holidays - Stationery Gift Pack...

Hello,

Sometimes, it is hard to find a gift for someone who has everything, and I usually like to try to give gifts that are useful, so I have created these gift packs which make fantastic gifts for well,  almost anyone!

A stationery pack..... includes a notebook, a pencil, a bookmark, a covered post-it notes book and a co-ordinating tag... 

Doesn't it look great all packaged up in a cellophane bag, tied with the tag and then...

placed inside a co-ordinating gift bag!

Here are some of the other packs I have created with their matching bags.

When I created these packs, I had a bit of a "Teacher Thank-you gift" theme happening...

 Can you tell??

Not long now until the Jolly man comes!!

Christmas Creations...

Good Morning,

We are having a spot of rain at the moment... Lovely!  How is the weather where you live?

Today I have a couple of Christmas Creations to show you...

Mini Kraft Gift Bags...

The mini kraft gift bags were a quick and easy make (and you know how much I love those!) and they are also an ideal way to use up those smaller leftover paper pieces!

Christmas colours, add a bit of ribbon - great for those smaller treats!

Next - I have been calling these mini half flips... I guess I should be calling them mini concertina albums - the fantastic thing about these is you only use half a piece (lengthways) of A4 cardstock.

All you need to do is add photos!! (There are 5 places for you to do so!)

And lastly, some mini flip albums... (Bit hard to take photos with all that bling!)

I first shared with you an album I created like this here:  http://barbnshellcreations.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/fancy-pants-accordian-flip-album.html

Also, a quick and easy make with lots of photo opportunities!

If you wish to know any of the dies, punches etc that I have used, please leave a comment and I will get back to you.

Have a fantastic crafty day!

Australia Mini Album

Good Morning,

I have a Mini Album to show you this morning.  This album has an Australian Theme - one of our Japanese Homestay Students had a Birthday while she was staying with us - so I created this as part of her Birthday Present - all she had to do was add photos! 

Cockatoos and Kangaroos.....

Best Wishes and Australian Flags.

Each page featured a Cockatoo or a Kangaroo or a Koala or a Butterfly.

This was the gift bag and card I created to go with the Mini Album.

At the end of her visit, I also gave her a pocket album full of photos - so she had plenty of photos to choose from to add to her Mini!

Have a great day!

Gift Bags...

Hello,

How's things? I feel like I have been creating up a storm - gotta love those sort of days!  I can never seem to find a 'nice' gift bag - I mean there are heaps of nice ones out there but... - do you know what I mean?? So, I have had some fun and have been creating -  well decorating my own...

First the greens...

Then the blues ...

I purchased a pack of 50 bags from my local packaging store and set to work.  

I created a co-ordinating Tag to suit each bag.

I was really happy with the result - what do you think?

If you live in Australia and wish to purchase one of my Gift Bag Packs of 5, please visit our online Store:

(I have created only the two packs above (at this stage) but keep your eye out for more to come!)
