Quick gift packaging using Pink By Design Stamps

Well we have hit wednesday and I am in the midst of the great move of  2011!  I never realized how much stuff I had--and to pack the scrap room has been a crazy experiance.  I have come to the realization that my collection of scrap items is so big I could open my own store!  Sort of sad in a funny way--
So i opened my mail box the other day and I got a package from Sarah the Pink Cricut (also the founder and designer for Pink by Design) with my newest release sets for the Design Team.  I know I said it before but this is another must have release--just in time to get started on your holiday cards!

So this fun little package is a clear box from PTI and the paper is CTMH and SEI.  I simply cut two strips for the belly band that were 12" long and a 1/2" difference in width.  I added some atg to the end and wrapped it around after inking the edges. 

I used my spellbinders to cut the layerd shape.  The bottom layer is solid brown and I sent it through the cuttlebug to add texture.  I used a folder from the Asian theme set.  I inked the edges here as well.  This oh so wonderful vintage fall wreath is from one of the set that is going to be released soon.  I simply stamped the image on cream card stock in brown ink. 

 The pattern SEI paper had pine cones and is also glittered so I thought about how I can add some pop, I found these tiny pearls in red in my horde of supplies and thought --hello holly berries!  Simple but elegent--just my style.  This whole project only took about 10 minutes.  I also added a scrap of red ribbon around the middle of the notes and attached them together using pop dots.

Make it a great one-
