Have you seen the Stars Treat Bags?  They are a great way to gift wrap as they are or easily dress them up for a personalised present.  But, if you need a larger gift box, then take a look at this fun idea by Caroline van der Straaten... the Stars Treat Bag is turned over and is now the lid for a tall Christmas box!

Stars Treat Bags (159833) - $21.00
10 food-safe bags: 8.9 x 13.3 cm (3-1/2" x 5-1/4")

The base is a simple open-top box created from the Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper, the Stars Treat Bag is then slotted over the top, and then it is all wrapped up with the gorgeous Gold Shimmer Ribbon.  Although this is planned for a Christmas gift, this packaging idea would be great for birthdays too!

To the Stars Gift Box, I have added a gift tag with a fun pocket in the front.  This idea was inspired by the Christmas Gifting Kit, where you can insert a hand-written message or a gift voucher.  Here are the three different designs I created...

The stunning designs on the front of these tags were created using the Labels Aglow Dies.  I made custom masks by die-cutting three different designs out of a Window Sheet!  I then applied VersaMark ink through the custom-made masks with a Sponge Dauber, added Gold Embossing Powder, and then heat set.  I love how they turned out!

The Stars Treat Bags and Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper are both in the Last Chance Product Sale as they are all retiring when the current mini catalogue finishes.  Be sure to get them before they are gone!
