Quick + Easy Holiday Wraps...

We have another group post today for Papertrey Ink today, this time it's all about quick and easy holiday tags, wraps, gift card holders, bags and boxes. All of the new products we share peeks of today will be available for purchase at Papertrey Ink on Sept. 15th at 10pm EST.

First up are the Minute To Make: Holiday Tags 1 stamps and Minute To Make Holiday Tags die. I love these! They are really quick and easy to make a ton of tags in no time!


I've found a couple of cute, inexpensive gift card boxes at Target to match my tags. I think you can get them at Walmart even cheaper (for $1) when the holiday boxes and gift wrappings come out. The tags are super quick and easy.


Joy & Peace Tags:
STAMPS: Minute to Make: Holiday Tags 1
INK: Pure Poppy, Tropical Teal, Simply Chartreuse
PAPER: new tag cardstock
DIES: Minute to Make: Holiday Tags dies
OTHER: seam binding.

Next up are the new Ribbon Sliders stamps, dies and papers. These are ones I cut out of the patterned paper pack.
This is a gift box from Target that had the dots already printed on it, but I wanted to dress up the top with some stamping with the arrow from Ribbon Sliders and added a preprinted slider that I cut out with the dies.  Quick, right?!

The box had pre-cut holes for the ribbon, which was perfect, but you could make your own by using a paper piercer to punch holes in the sides of a box for the ribbon to tie your ribbon slider on.


A Little Something Gift Box:
STAMPS: Ribbon Sliders
INK: Fresh Snow
PAPER: Ribbon Sliders
DIES: Ribbon Sliders
OTHER: gift box - Target, white embossing powder.

Next is Christmas Tree Change Up stamps and dies.

Mine is a little bit different. It's not a box. I created a wrap instead and added a cellophane bag in the middle full of mints. The front and back are stapled at the top with the bag stapled right in between, then the twine is added and a star to cover the staple.

 Merry Christmas Treat Wrap:
STAMPS: Christmas Tree Change Up
INK: Simply Chartreuse, Ripe Avocado, Pure Poppy, Sweet Blush
PAPER: white
DIES: Christmas Tree Change Up Box
OTHER: twine, sequins, cellophane bag, mints.

Last are the new In the Bag stamps and dies. I didn't do a holiday project this time.

The In the Bag stamps and dies make a cute little bag to add to the front of a card to slide a gift card into. (I totally forgot to add a gift card before taking my photos, sorry about that!)
Thanks card:

INK: Simply Chartreuse, Raspberry Fizz, Pure Poppy, Summer Sunrise, Orange Zest, True Black by PTI; Soft Granite by Hero Arts

Santa Stationery...

Papertrey Ink has come up with the cutest idea - a stamp set to create stationery for letters to Santa and "Nice List" certificates! How fun is that!
To make a "Nice List Declaration" certificate, I cut an A2 card size and folded it in half. I wanted to create something that would fit into one of these envelopes and decorate the envelope too.
I tried and tried and couldn't get a very good picture of it, but it's so cute in real life! :)
I used the Postmarks stamp set, along with the grid lines from the Desktop File: Inspiration stamp set to create my Nice List Certificate! Here is a closer peek of the envelope:

The Santa on the envelope is stamped with Soft Stone ink, he shows up better than you can see here, but it's a soft effect. Kind of like a watermark look. I had him stamped on the letter too, but it wasn't showing up very good for my photos, so I changed it to black and colored him in. :)

Nice List Certificate:
STAMPS: Santa Stationery
INK: Hawaiian Shores, True Black, Pure Poppy, Enchanted Evening
PAPER: White cardstock
DIES: none
OTHER: A2 envelope by PTI, chalks.

For my second project with Santa Stationery, I stamped a background and used it as gift wrap. The Santas are stamped with Classic Kraft ink and then colored in with chalks! Then the "Merry Christmas" was added with True Black ink to each Santa.

A little Pure Poppy Patterned Paper and ribbon finish off the gift. The snowflakes are made with the new Snowflake Medley dies.
Santa Gift Wrap:
STAMPS: Santa Stationery
INK: Classic Kraft, True Black
PAPER: Pure Poppy Pattern Pack, white cardstock
DIES: Snowflake Medley
OTHER: Pure Poppy ribbon, twine, white felt, button, chalks.
