New Necklace Packaging

One of the steps I enjoy about creating is coming up with fun packaging for items I sell in shops.  I want it to highlight the item without being too bold or crazy, say that I made it (or where to find me online), and provide space for a price tag.  They are often a bit challenging to come up with something that suits my style I am going for and uses stuff I have at home.  Luckily I have a wonderfully organized craft room now with easy to find supplies so I hit my paper punch bin and stamp box and got making! Here is what I came up with:


I went with the standard recycled cardstock I use for most of my packaging then added rounded corners, a white stamped simple floral type design, and then my etsy address on the back.  I opted for folding and stapling these tags onto the polymer clay and wood bead necklaces since there is no clasp on the cord and added a little punch to hang the necklaces from if need be. Perfect! Simple and interesting without distracting from the wonderfulness of the necklaces themselves.  The only issue? They don't prevent monster tangling of the necklaces when in a bunch...oh well...can't win them all...

secret santa

Guess what? I'm back! I'm still on the mend from this stomach virus I can't seem to kick but I've been busy crafting up a storm so I wanted to pop back in and share some with you! Hooray! 

So what's new with me? Well, this year I landed an easy secret santa partner for our exchange at work!  Since I know she happens to be a fan of my homemade earrings, all I needed to do was whip a few pairs up and put them together nicely on a card. Bring out the crafting supplies and this is what I ended up with:


Take a closer peek at my traditional recycled cardstock with a hint of rubber stamp and some washi tape and bam! There it is


I even got to use my new lovely lowercase letter stamps to personalize the whole things with my secret santa's name (Emily) on the bottom:


Now to wrap it up in an inconspicuous box so she will have no idea what she's receiving (well...until the opens it...):


Yaayyy! What do you think? Do you partake in secret santas?
