Christmas Penguin Gift Set

Happy Holidays!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, popping in on the blog to share the Christmas Penguin gift set I made using three of Lori’s files: Gift Card Box Penguin (SVG, Silhouette), Christmas Tag Penguin 2 (SVG, Silhouette), and Christmas Card Penguin (SVG, Silhouette).  Lori debut these adorable penguins along with several other cards, tags, and gift boxes a couple of weeks ago, and I knew I had to use them for my holiday gift giving!

I used accents and patterned papers from Lori’s A Lumberjack Christmas collection from Echo Park Paper, Co to make the card and gift card box.  For the card, I used a double-sided patterned paper, which made it a little difficult to write a message inside the card.  I knew I needed a solid colored insert, so I cut an extra card base from white cardstock to serve as the inside layer of the card.  I added a Merry Christmas sticker to the front of the card as well.

For the gift card box, I used a mix of patterned papers along with a chipboard accent.  I was sure how to assemble the top pop-up to the box, but Lori’s tutorial provided all the instruction I needed to finish putting my box together.  I really like that this file contains a gift box as well to hold the entire project when it’s complete. Simply add a ribbon and you’re ready with a gift that’s SUPER CUTE!!

Finally, I created the adorable penguin tag and added a Merry Christmas sticker to the front.  I paired the tag with a buffalo plaid gift bag to complete my gift set.  I think my recipient is going to love the personalized touch!

Well, that’s it for me today!  I’m off to enjoy Christmas Eve with my family. Happy Holidays:)

Until next time,

Michelle

Christmas Apron Gift Boxes

Hello crafty friends! Aimee here today sharing a great gift idea for those Christmas bakers in your life! I used the Cook’s Apron Box (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette) to make these fun little gift boxes. The sentiment is a print and cut that came from Shadow Box Card Scene Snowman (Lori’s Shop, Silhouette).

They are full of fun sprinkles and items to decorate cookies and would make any cookie enthusiast happy. But these little boxes could hold some spices and other goodies for a grilling enthusiast as well!

These boxes end up being a little over 5″ tall and a little over 4″ wide so they will hold quite a lot!

The little cut outs that look like spatulas and a rolling pin can just be slipped into the pocket.

That’s all from me today! Hope you enjoy seeing these cute little baker’s boxes and will give it go and put a smile on someone’s face!

Money Roll Gift Bag Sets

To help up your gift wrapping game, Silhouette is collecting some fabulous ideas from creatives all around in their Gift Wrapping Round Up.  I was very excited when they asked me to contribute to their collection.  Many times for the holidays, someone may ask for money to be put toward a special purchase.  In addition, If you’re looking for that last minute gift… money is always a great gift.  The key to making it a really fun gift is cute packaging!  That’s why I created these fun Money Roll Gift Bag Sets.  It’s a great way to add a personal touch to a gift of money and my kids have absolutely loved it when I do these for them.   I have a lot of different versions in both the Silhouette Store and in my SVG Shop.  Take a peek…
