Reindeer & Tree Stocking Stuffer Packaging Ideas

Card Front Panel—I started with a 3-1/4" x 4" piece of Whisper White that was embossed with the Softly Falling Embossing Folder.  Next, I stamped the Santa's Sleigh tree in Garden Green ink onto Garden Green card stock and the reindeer in Memento Black Ink onto Crumb Cake card stock, then die cut both of them with the coordinating Santa's Sleigh Framelits.  The tree is adhered with SNAIL and the reindeer is popped up with Dimensionals.  I finished the look with a few Gold Sequins and a Real Red Baker's Twine bow, each adhered with Glue Dots.

Card Front Closure Panel—I adhered a 4" x 2-1/2" piece of Warmth & Cheer Designer Series Paper to the front closure flap.  For the sentiment closure, I stamped the greeting from Oh, What Fun in Memento Black Ink and die cut the shape with the Layering Ovals Framelits.  It's layered on a Garden Green scallop oval, also cut with the Layering Ovals, and popped up with Dimensionals.  TIP: When attaching the sentiment oval, only adhere the Dimensionals to the bottom of the oval, then adhered it in place with the front panel tucked underneath to create the closure.

Inside Elements—The gift card pocket is a 3" x 4" piece of Warmth & Cheer DSP with a semi-circle punched out of it with the 2" Circle Punch.  I adhered both sides and bottom with Tear & Tape Adhesive to create the pocket.  I finished the card by adding a 3-3/4" x 4" piece of Whisper White, stamped with a Santa's Sleigh phrase and embellished with a strip of Warmth & Cheer Washi Tape.

Merry Tags Reindeer & Tree Gift Bag

Pair your gift card holder with a coordinating gift bag created with the Petite Café Bag!  Here's how to decorate it!

Basic Tag—I started with a 2-1/2" x 5" piece of Whisper White.  After rounding the corners with the Project Life Corner Rounder, I ran it through the Big Shot using the hanging tab hole die from the Baker's Box Thinlits.  Next I embossed it with the Cable Knit Dynamic Folder for that cool, extra-deep sweater texture.

Ribbon Accent—I threaded a 6" piece of Burlap Ribbon through the hole, then tied it up with the Cherry Cobbler 3/8" Silky Taffeta Ribbon in a double knot. 

Merry Tag—For the focal point, I die cut the Merry Tags shape three times: a base in Gold Foil, plus Soft Suede for the reindeer and Garden Green for the tree.  I trimmed down the reindeer and tree and adhered them to the Gold Foil base with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen, then adhered the whole tag to the larger tag with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen.

Sweet Sentiment—I die-cut a sentiment from the Christmas Greetings Thinlits in Cherry Cobbler, then added that to the front with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen.  The whole tag is attached to the front of the Petite Café Bag with Dimensionals.
