I posted here about why I don't use Gift Wrap any longer and have since come up with some ways to package gifts without traditional wrapping....
For my Friend's Birthday, I decided to make the Gift the Package and the Package is the gift...
This is my Baking friend that is always, Well... Baking... And so when I came across this cupcake carrier, it had to be purchased..... Along with the cool cupcake book and a scrapbook punch...
(we have a tradition now, that a birthday doesn't go buy with out a paper making supply)..... Not sure what the punch has to do with cupcakes, but I found the color of the punch to match a color on the book, so there ya go.....
And if your really creative, you can punch, then cut the scalloped circle in half to make a cupcake topper. Sort of like I did for the card... Which is fastened to the case..... Finished Gift, and no wrapping required!! Even the card was made out of scraps from my Stampin Up Stash.
(which also has colors from the cover of the book... See how I've learned to match?? My Baker/crafty friend would be so proud)
I can show it all here, because I already gave it to her.... Ummmm 2 weeks early! But you know... Thats just how I am.....
Happy Birthday Almost Baker/Crafty Friend!!!
