Good morning, I am so excited and privileged to be joining the Creating Kindness Design Team today as their Guest Designer. I was so excited to be asked and even more excited when I found out the subject was to create a gift or gift packaging!
Now anyone that knows me, knows that this is probably my favourite thing to make. I love nothing more than to create pretty packaging. When I am out and about at the shops (not very often at the moment!), I am always on the look out for small items that I can gift to somebody just to say thank you or a simple hello.
So on a recent trip out I picked up a couple of small items which have inspired my packaging today.
Here is what I have made...
When I was creating this packaging I wanted it to be a Christmas gift but I also wanted it to be quite sophisticated and the Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper just oozes sophistication with its beautiful copper tones running through it. This is a returning paper from last year but it really is timeless and so pretty.
So, what's inside...
As you can see, it's a mini bottle of Prosecco with some seasonal chocolates alongside. I thought this was a perfect little gift that I would be delighted to give to someone special.
I also recreated this packaging using some alternative papers from the Brightly Gleaming suite and this time in my favourite colour of all time, Pretty Peacock.
This is the box I recreated in my video to show you how it is made.
And here are the two together.
I really hope you like my project and may be inspired to give it a go.
Lou is up next who I know will have something lovely to share with you today, I cannot wait to see all the projects and have a go myself. You can follow the hop by clicking on the next button below.

Happy Craftin'

Great box!! Love the idea and would love the written measurements. I have been making cards just over a year now and I enjoy learning, trying new things. Will be watching for more interesting projects. Thanks!
