packaging solutions

Whether you're selling something that needs packaging or you're simply looking for a unique gift solution, here are some lovely ideas for adorning those little boxes. Tissue paper flowers and paper butterflies are nice when you're wanting a nice, airy look. Also, try stamping a simple image in the middle of the box and finishing it off with baker's twine and a decorative gift tag. And of course, ribbon, ribbon, ribbon!

Site Stumbling

Today at work, I stumbled across a fabulous site. Orange Beautiful is a letterpress company owned by a trio of creative gals. Their website itself is fun to look at, but if you click on over at the bottom right of their page where it says "The Scoop", you'll probably wander for hours, as I did earlier at work. This link takes you straight to their blog full of all kinds of pretty things.
