Shop Update: Paper Rosettes, Air Mail Envelopes and Baker's Twine

Christmas Air Mail Envelopes
Curtsey Boutique
 Whether you are in need of last minute packaging for your Christmas gifts or fun winter embellishments for layouts and cards this week's shop update is chock full of items to check off your wish list.

My favorite new item is the Christmas Air Mail Envelopes. They are "post marked" from the North pole and have a cute peek a boo window on the front and fun red and white baker's twine closure on the back. These are great for cookies, candies or other small gifts.

We've also started carrying baker's twine at very reasonable rates - only 75 cents for 10 yards. We currently carry red and brown, but will be adding more colors in the future.

Quick and Easy Christmas Gift Packaging

Large Pinstripe Kraft Boxes
Curtsey Boutique
I'm completely in love with reindeers for this holiday season. I love this tag with the stamped reindeer and half pearls on the antlers - so cute. I've also die cut a bunch out of corrugated glitter cardboard and will share a few projects with those next week.  These are our largest size Pinstripe Kraft Boxes and measure 5 x 5 x 3.5 inches. Paired with doilies, seam binding and a stamped tag - Christmas gift wrapping couldn't be easier!

Gusseted Bags and Paper Twist Ties
Curtsey Boutique

These gusseted bags are neat because when filled the bottom flattens out and stands up on its own. The red and white paper twist ties are such a cute touch with the peppermints.  I've seen some fun Pinterest ideas for these paper twist ties and am excited to try a few out. This color scheme would also work great for Valentine's Day.


Have a lovely weekend,

Bakery Bags and Monogram Tags

Curtsey Boutique Monogram Tags
My new Christmas packaging and tags are just about all listed in the shop now.  I thought I would share a few of  my favorites. I'm loving the monogram tags with the scalloped edge and paper bows. My girls always think a present is more special when it has their initial or name on it.   I like the combination of these tags with the fancy bloom flowers, a bit of torn fabric for ribbon and the pinstripe kraft boxes. 

I've seen these bags called a bunch of different things; coffee bags, bakery bags, window bags - I'm not sure their proper name, but I do know they are super cute and the polka dot embossing adds a nice touch. I like that you can see your sweet candy treat or cookies through the window and that the tin tie tab folds down at the top for a secure and seamless look.
