Have a heart for

...lovely things with an emphasis on ~ packaging!

 
I am sure anyone would really appreciate a good package : both receiving and sending them. Lately with the holiday season around the corner, i've been thinking alot about a cheery makeover on "So Cute It Hurts" packaging ~ finding creative ways to package. It is as fun as coming up with what goes inside. I wanted also to offer homemade treats wrapped in papers or bags that echoes my heartfelt sentiments. I've received several of the most loveliest packages, you know, the kind that make you immediately bust out your camera to take pictures before you open it up? And i wanted to create this exact feeling in "So Cute It Hurts" packaging as well.

 
I've been experimenting and trying to master the basics of wrapping a package ~ learning from books on the prettiest ideas, hands-on with lots of ribbons and paper crafts recipes and thank you to Martha Stewart. Through this learning process, i realized that one of the many secrets lie in its nearly folded ends. My packaging ideas and designs run from tags, ribbons, stamps to eco bags.

Here are just a few of my favorite recipes and prettiest packaging ideas ~ it's incredible and amazing how creativity flows through your system when your heart is really in what you are creating, everything just comes together for you.

 
 
Have a lovely merry happy mid-week! Lots of love to you and yours as always!

Wow, the packaging looks darn cute and fantastic! I would totally whip out my camera for that...very thoughtful of you to research into that part...because it's true that when you receive something in the mail - it's that first impression. All the best to you!

I must say your packaging is adorable. I am a big fan of lovely packaging myself. I sometimes will buy a product just because it looks so pretty all packaged up...bring it home and leave it on my table to look at in the packaging for a few days! Thanks for all your wonderful comments you leave on my blog my friend..you are my encourager!

So adorable! Sometimes I think I get more excited with how beautifully wrapped a present/package is than the object itself. Thanks for sharing these ideas for the holiday season!

What lovelies you have in your studio Jacqueline! All those pretty ribbons and bags -- and I adore your stamps with your logo. How darling! I think it is true what you say about having your heart in it and everything comes together. I know that experience! Especially I know it the other way, too, when you are not feeling like doing it and you try and it's all wrong. I can feel the joy in your work from start to finish -- I appreciate that so much. Plus, something in those photos looks familiar!! I can't wait to get my little elephant cozies! My teacup is trying to be patient . . . : )

So lovely - you're getting a really nice vibe going with your shop now! :) Have a lovely weekend!!

A well wrapped package definitely makes the gift inside that much better! Such pretty colors in your photos and the stamps, tags and ribbon with your logo are so great, I'm impressed. I saw your button for Marisa's new e-course "together", are you taking it in January?! I will be taking it with my husband, so we'll be classmates again! xo

I'm big on packaging too - makes all the difference doesn't it? Your packaging is so beautiful - I am just awful with packaging so you've definitely taught me something here. :)
And I love your stamps too!! Awesome!!

[Tammy]

I love your stamps and ribbons. Where did you have your stamps and tags made? Those are great.
I was just thinking of this, this week, too. I am planning on baking things to give out, and realize that the tags and labels that accompany a gift are just as special. Thanks for the inspiration and folded-corners, tip. Wrapping is my weakness.

[Mina]

You are such a creative and talented artist, Jacqueline! I love all your packaging kit and your stamps and tags are lovely! Wrapping is so important and it really makes the difference.
Have a wonderful weekend ! with much love, Mina
