Let's Talk Packaging

Depending on where you are it may be craft fair season. Here in New Mexico the fall is a huge time for craft fairs but also there are a lot of outside summer fairs. And so today I am bringing you a couple of packaging thoughts. I make cards. So one thing I like to do is sell a few cards together in a bundle. I am using my Craft Fantastic medium round glass and medium round glass tray, Craft Fantastic Image Sheet, Glaze and Glue, and Sticky Dots. Take a look.

Another possibility, many people are using Mason Jars and this is another thought for you.Take a look.

I have used an image from one of the image sheets. But you can either go with your logo or some art that identifies your business, or you can go with an image that treats the piece as both packaging and an extra item included with your product.

What other ways are you all using Craft Fantastic in your packaging? We'd love to see!

Hugs,

Judy

Some Saturday Fun With The June Kit!

So for some Saturday crafting  I am bringing you a an easy layered card The papers and stamp set you see is included in the June kit. Check it out!

 

So in todays lesson to be learned, when your child borrows your stamping tool for example your misti or other similar tool, don't assume she has cleaned it from any ink that may transfer on to the next project. Yup, black ink is now on my yellow stamp pad. I am working on cleaning it, and of course did flip my paper and restamp after cleaning my stamping tool. Oh well, I would much rather the lesson be learned and she love to create!

A CAS card with the June Kit! And more on that Giveaway!

Happy Friday! So for today I am bringing you a somewhat CAS card (clean and simple), but that is still fun and perky and has a lot of energy. Everything you see is included in the June kit. Check it out!

 

Now I tend to save scraps when I create. I hate to waste anything. So for example the balloons in the upper right corner were cut with scraps from earlier in the week as is the gummy bear strip down the side of the card. I also had a little of the baker's twine left and used that for the balloon strings. And the cupcake is actually from the die cut pack and is on acetate. I actually adhered it to a piece of scrap white cardstock and fussycut it so the colors would stand out better for this particular project. And as you can see I did round the corners of the gummy bear paper to match the rounded corners of the glitter frame. I am a bit of a perfectionist. However I did "eyeball it". My corner rounder decided to play hide and seek with me and is currently MIA. I am sure it will turn up, but at the moment, well...

Packaging Idea With Craft Fantastic

Hi Everyone! You are all fans of making things, beautiful things. Like perhaps even earrings or necklaces? Ok so once you have made these, what do you put them in? Here I am showing you one of my favorite ways to package the jewelry pieces I make. For packaging I have a lot of paper so instead of spending on premade boxes I make my own. And to finish off the packaging we will use a large silver jump ring, a fan charm, a small round pendant tray, a small round jewelers glass, jewelers super sticky dot and glaze and glue.
I decided to use a leftover piece of the fancy specialty paper I used on the box itself to put under the jewelers glass.

Apply your glaze and glue to the jewelers glass as normal, hold the glass until it grips the paper and is dry. Trim and using a super sticky dot adhere the glass into the pendant tray. Then using the large jump ring attach both the tray and the charm onto the jump ring.

Then thread the jump ring onto the ribbon and tie your bow as normal.

Pretty huh?
I would love to know what you think of this packaging idea!
Hugs,

Judy

Have You Checked Out The June kit? OMG!!!!!

Hi Everyone! Today I am sharing with you this super fun box card that I made using the Creative Escape Papercrafting June Kit. This is such a super fun kit. The colors are fabulous and oh so many goodies!

So today I am sharing this super fun box card. I have used the solid blue 8 1/2 x 11 paper to make the base of the box card. The patterned paper on the base was made using one of the adorable sheets of pattern paper that is in the kit, and from there it is simply playing with some of the die cuts in the kit. How fun and easy is that!

Stay tuned! More fun and adorable cards will be coming your way!
And be sure to check out the Creative Escapes Facebook group and the store and sign up so you don't miss these amazing kits!
