Birthday Gift Box with Shellye McDaniel

Birthday Gift Box

We are keeping with our gift box theme for another day today. Shellye used a recycled box she had at home, but wouldn't her project look lovely with one of our Pinstripe Kraft Boxes?

Shellye used two of the glitter birthday cakes and attached them together so that they would stand on top of the box.

The darling doily border was created by using five of the hot pink paper doilies. They were adhered together with a small glue dot to form a band.

 I personally love the little happy birthday banner at the top - the perfect finishing touch.

Advent Calendar by Wood and Grain

Wood and Grain Advent Calendar
featuring Curtsey Boutique 2x2x2 boxes

I love seeing what customers create with products from my shop, the Curtsey Boutique.

This weekend while surfing the web I came across this beautiful advent calendar on the amazing Wood and Grain blog. They used our 2x2x2 pinstripe craft boxes, a soda crate, baker's twine and amazing wood embellishments to create a "grown up" advent calendar.

To see all the details visit their blog here.

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.

Brown Paper Packages Tied Up with String - Kraft Boxes now available in the Shop!

Small Pinstripe Kraft Boxes - Curtsey Boutique

In the Sound of Music Julie Andrews claims brown paper packages tied up with string are included in her favorite things - I couldn't agree more!

These 2" x 2" x 2" boxes have a hint of a pinstripe design and are perfect for tucking in candies or small gifts.  They are now available in the shop. I'll be listing two more bigger sizes within the next few days.

Accenting negative space is all the rage these days and these tags came together quickly with my favorite Christmas punches. The top circle was embossed with my polka dot embossing folder and the two layers were offset by dimensional adhesive.  Light brown ink was used to distress the edges.

If you are short on time in making your own tags, these too are available in the shop.
