Youth Fund Raiser Part 2 - Packaging!!! - Lola Rist, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

I had wonderful response to my FB LIVE yesterday!!! Thank you everyone!!! So many times we need to see products being used so we get that “AHA!” moment, don’t we???? I can not tell you the number of times I’ve looked at a stamp set and said “I don’t care for it” then all of a sudden I’m seeing it used in creative ways and it ends up in my order!!!! Sound familiar?????

Today’s Post – A Sequence Of Pictures!

***So do you ever use these 6×8 inch hidden gems in the catalog?***

I love the 6×8 inch cellophane bags in our catalog. These are probably one of those sleeper items you haven’t even noticed, but they are great for packaging cards and treats to give to others. In the pictures below I’ll show you my quick way of packaging so that all items stay in the bag and kept totally clean until the receiver opens them!

***I start with a 4×6.25 inch of card stock scored in the middle at 2 inches. After folding, I put several strips of tear and tape on the inside of the fold.***

***Tear off the strips for the bottom*** ***section, then center your package and attach. Tear off the top strips, and press down!***

***I had a strip of the Fancy Flora DSP so simply adhered it to the front of the flap. I’ve also stamped simple designs with a greeting on white card stock to decorate the top.***

These cellophane bags work great for our notecards and envelopes as well!!! In the packages below, I simply cut off 2 inches from the opening of the bag – use your paper cutter to cut 3-4 at a time! – then I can put 10 note cards and envelopes inside!

These were notecards/envelopes I packaged in groups of 10. This grouping of card packages went to breast cancer patients so they had thank you cards on hand to send to others who have made their journey easier with meals, transportation, and care.

Final Thoughts…..

I hope these two days of posts have given you some ideas how to use your papercrafting to help others! My goal is to have the cards for the youth fund raiser cut and stamped before we head to Norway mid May, then when we return it’s easy to assemble and package for them to sell. Until tomorrow, have a great day and God Bless!!!
