Winter is now blasting through the midwest so its pretty easy to start feeling a little festive about the coming holidays! Its Day 3 of Cut Card Stock’s Holiday Countdown and I thought it would be nice to show off some different packaging ideas.
I like to present gifts in unique packaging whenever I can. Recipients usually appreciate the personal touch and they look great under the tree! Since I’m always surrounded by such great Cut Card Stock paper, embellishments, etc. its a shame to limit myself to JUST traditional wrapping paper for gifts. Go ahead and take out some of that paper and scrap paper that you are not using and get creative with those packages!
Note: If using 8.5″ x 11″ card stock, you will be limited to your smaller packages. Try larger sheets if you have some larger boxes in mind…
Chalkboard styled package

- Invisible Tape
