Weekly Wrap #104 : Paper Bag Dress Up

Weekly Wrap

Paper Bag Packaging

This sweet and simple gift and favor packaging idea comes from The Party Studio. A brown paper bag can be dressed up in so many ways, and I never get tired of seeing fun new projects that incorporate this humble supply. Grab some decorative edging scissors or an edging paper punch (to fancy up the top of the bag), a little twine or string, and tags of your choice to create everything from party favors to Valentine’s Day goody bags for the classroom to gifts for family and friends. Lots of possibilities! – via pin

2012 Valentine’s Day Cards, Part 4

1.24.2012 6 Comments

Today’s Valentine’s Day card roundup includes a number of cheeky greetings for those who like a little irreverence in a Valentine’s Day greeting. Don’t worry, there are plenty of sweet greetings, too, but be warned that the words “naked” and “vomit” will be making an appearance. *wink*

These “love day” greetings from Wit & Whistle make me giggle:
