The Challenge Spark (gift packaging)

Jane from White Orchid challenged Tara from Country Girl Creates and me to do something different from cards this week. She wanted us to show her some gift packaging.

When I have a gift that is either too odd shaped, pretty or large to wrap, I like to use ribbons and just dress up the gift itself. In this case, I have this sign I painted for a gardener friend, and I used the Bouquet Bigz L Die to make a yellow flower in keeping with the garden theme as well as ribbon and I personally think it looks just fine to gift to my friend without wrapping it up!

I thought of making smaller flowers and giving away packages of seeds this same way....really anything would work!

(Since I had this post finished and scheduled for today before we decided to let the Challenge Spark rest for several months, I'll still post it.)

Very cool gift - your friend is very lucky! :) And I love the flower!! It totally looks awesome enough it doesn't need to be wrapped - in fact, if the gift is too odd-shaped, it looks a lot better to leave it unwrapped instead of a bulky, weird-looking shaped item!

Will look forward to your posts when you return after a summer break. Rest and recoup.

Oh I love the saying on your sign! And yes, who said a gift had to be completely hidden...
