How About Orange has a great tutorial that shows you how to make cute little gift bags (aka Baglets) from regular envelopes. What a useful and fun idea for all different types of occasions! Fill them with Easter treats, and these would make wonderful little gifts for the upcoming holiday. And, if you’d like, you can also download labels to print onto the envelopes.

Free Votive Wraps from The Fussy Designer

I spotted these lovely votive candle wraps by The Fussy Designer over at iDiY the other day. They’re meant to be printed onto vellum for a lovely translucent look when wrapped around a lit votive. So pretty, and such a great idea. Download and print the wraps here, and check out last year’s damask versions, as well.

Stephanie Fizer Prints

March 27, 2009 // kristen // 1 replies

I’ve become a shameless owlophile over the past couple of years, so it was love at first sight when I saw all of the owlish prints in Stephanie Fizer’s Etsy shop. Stephanie specializes in illustrations that feature a number of cutie patootie characters and woodland creatures, so if you’re not a fan of owls (sacrilege!) you’ll certainly find something to love in her shop. She reproduces her original works as mounted prints, bookplates, and many more items to decorate your life. And, if you like printables, Stephanie also has a shop called Digital Sweets.
