{Lifestyle Crafts Review} DIY Holiday Gift Tags

0 · Sep 20, 2011 · 7 Comments

Far be it from me to put a rush on things… but whether we like it on not, the HOLIDAYS are around the corner!! My motto this year {yes, I am borrowing it from the Boy Scouts} BE PREPARED. The only way that we are going to be able to create a fun handmade holiday season is to start now and this is the perfect project to get a head start on… Holiday Gift Tags.

Valentine Cookie Cartons

0 · Feb 2, 2011 · 8 Comments

I am in love with Valentine’s Day this year. I just can’t get enough of it and all the fun creations that come with it.

Again… packaging is everything!! I made some fun heart shaped chocolate chip cookies the other day, and thought this would be a fun Valentine goodie, but what should I put it in?

I found these lovely cartons at a restaurant supply store here in Vegas, they were super-cheap and I knew I could dress them up!

I designed a logo for the front of the carton which I printed on sticker paper, basically one large label. You can find them at your office supply store. I then created a topper for the lid, and voila, done. A perfect little container for my sweet little heart shaped delights!

Oh… and just because I {heart} you, I am going to share my printable for the Valentine cartons!! {Click on the image to download.}
