Simple but Beautiful Packaging Idea

I think it's fun to make the outside of a gift look just as appealing as the inside.  It makes the recipient feel extra special.  And I especially love it when it takes no time at all!

I've had this plain blue wrapping paper for quite some time now so when Stampin' Up! came out with this big blue button, I was so excited.  It matches my wrapping paper so well.

I simply made a medallion with a 1" strip of my First Edition DSP using my Simply Scored tool, adhered the big blue button to the center, adding four small pearls to the center of the button.  Then I attached the finished piece to my ribboned package.  Beautiful!

Birthday #5

I decided to use my new Simply Scored tool from Stampin' Up! to make a few medallion flowers.  They're so fun and easy to make.  I think this card would be fun to give a teenaged girl.

Happy Friday!

I'm so happy it's the weekend, and even more happy that it's a LONG weekend!  I'm home today from work to take care of my daughter who just had her wisdom teeth pulled so while she's sleeping today I'll be making birthday cards for the gals at work---and doing some pesky housework as well ;).

I really like how this card turned out.  Again, with the Emboss Resist technique on the hearts.  I love how crisp the embossed sentiment is. I used my new Simply Scored tool from Stampin' Up! for the lined frame on the vellum piece.  I LOOOVVVVEEE that tool!
