Nina's Southern Accents: Gift Wrapping Southern Style

Hey Y'all!

One thing I love about gift giving is the presentation...I want my present to be the prettiest one on the table! I titled this post "Gift Wrapping Southern Style" because nothing says Southern to me more than red gingham and sunflowers.

For this gift of kitchen essentials, I made a wrap by cutting the bottom off of a brown paper lunch bag, then cutting it down the middle.

Then I used the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and stamped the sunflower and leaves in a random pattern all over the bag. To add more to the shabby chic look, I used a journaling pen to add black "stitching" to the edge of the bag, and also to highlight the stitching on the tag. I wadded up the bag, then smoothed it back out to give more texture.

For the tag, I used my favorite set of dies, the Stitched So Sweetly dies and the Toile Tidings DSP that I am SO GLAD returned in this year's Holiday Mini Catalog! I inked the small sunflower in Bumblebee, and used a sponge dauber to add the Mossy Meadow to the leaves. Raffia and a silk flower attached with hot glue "wrapped it up."

If you will notice, there is a brand new product listed in the product list below....The Stampin' Cut and Emboss is available to customers! I love mine! You can pay full price, or you can get it for $99 and free shipping if you sign up as a demonstrator. AND the month of September, Stampin' Up! is offering even more than the usual $125 for $99. You get 2 extra stamp sets plus rhinestone embellishments, and enough precut card kits to make 16 cards, in a class if you choose to.

So you can be a "kit-napper"-get the deal one time and never order again, be a "happy shopper" -buy from yourself at a discount, or share the love and build a business.
