Christmas Chaos: Oldie But Goodie Wrapped in Chaos

Good morning!  Welcome back to Day 6 of Catch the Bug's Christmas Chaos!  Today we challenge you to create holiday packaging...we would like to see your holiday wrap, tags, bags, tins, etc.  The possibilities are endless!

I have a bunch of these "Hershey Nugget" tins in my stash; I like to have them on hand for a quick little gift.  Let's face it...there are not a lot of people who don't like chocolate!  (My favorite is Extra Creamy Milk Chocolate with Almonds and Toffee...yum!)  I've colored the image, matted it with a die cut, and added glitter to the Santa hat.  I used coordinating paper to wrap the Nuggets and the tin, securing them with a small piece of Sookwang tape  Voila'!  A quick and easy gift!  Here's a close-up of the Nuggets.  (Hint: a 1x3 piece of patterned paper is perfect for wrapping the Nuggets.)

Instant witch...

Good morning!  It's ABC Monday at Catch the Bug; for my "anything but a card" I made a treat container.  I actually had planned to make some treat packaging for my kids, but when I saw this fun image, already printed, and laying on my table I switched my plan.  Gotta love Stella!  And her sass!

The image is colored with pencils and I've accented the green brew, the star, and her purple eyelids with glitter.  I matted the image and adhered it to a basic tag; the sentiment is also a tag and I've tied it all to the container with twine and a button.  The container is covered with patterned paper held in place with a strip of double stick tape; I've filled it with iridescent shred and it's the perfect size for some instant coffee treats.  Voila'!  Cute packaging that's quick and easy!

Halloween Skelekinz Topper

Good morning!  Monday means it's "Anything But a Card" at Catch the Bug; since Halloween is right around the corner, I thought it would be fun to make a topper for a caramel apple.  (Not only was it fun to make the topper, it was fun to eat the apple!  LOL)

The image is colored with pencils, matted with CS that's been scored and folded, and adhered to the packaging with glue.  Quick and easy!

Birthday Cupcakes

Good morning!  Monday means "Anything But a Card" at Catch the Bug....  Is it just me, or is this a really hard challenge for you too?

It took awhile, but once I had a plan I got busy!  I've used one of Jodi's adorable new images...Mouse Candle...it's perfect to embellish a box of birthday treats.  The image is colored with pencils and layered with die cuts; I've added brads for embellishing and a "band" to wrap around the box.  Tip: if you score the CS it will fold neatly around the box.

Here is a larger peek....

Inside the box is Cappuccino Chip and Cherry Almond...both very delish!

Anything But a Card....

Good morning!  It's time for another challenge from Ruby's Rainbow; this fortnight my teamie Jackie has chosen "Anything But a Card".  Sounds interesting, right?  The possibilities are endless!

At first I wasn't sure what to do, but I happened to find some fun little tin pails at Target's Dollar Spot.  I bought a few to have on hand and decided to embellish one and make a tag to match for our challenge.  It will be good to have on hand when a birthday party pops up.  The bucket could hold candy, nail polish, a gift card or all three!  LOL

I colored my little chick with pencils and cut her out with Nestabilities.  The tag is cut with a PTI die and I used Jen del Muro's July SFYTT for my layout.  I added a bit of ribbon, Baker's Twine and some brads.  The image panel is popped up.  For the pail, I picked assorted coordinating ribbons and tied them onto the handle.
