New Packaging: Gold Boxes, Pink, Green


A New Year means new packaging. I'm such a sucker for pretty boxes, bows, flourishes, hearts, embellishments, etc. and try mightily to add a nice pop to my packages that go out. For this year, I feel like gold is a necessity.

These boxes are accented with our logo sticker and simple bow. Inside you can find a logo card and lovely piece of jewelry. It's simple yet bright. Definitely something I want for this year.






A little sneak peek on a new necklace design, which is an update on a classic hmh necklace.




  
Lastly, my favorite colors for 2013! What are yours?

Put a Heart on It: Bright Gift Tags

I think I always have to add a heart to things I create. It's some sort of necessity. The Bright Gift Tags were great on their own, but I had these glittered hearts that had to be place atop the gift tags. I had to put a heart on it ;)


Neon green twine was also a must.










Here are the tags in action on gift bags for my cousins :)

Bright Gift Tags

A recent purchase of brightly colored gift tags inspired me to create some fun packaging. Washi tape and twine were added to complement the bright colors, and the gift tags were done!






Bows were tied to the tops and then the tags were affixed to white cards.






Tags attached to bags with heart paper clips! They can also be taped to the top of wrapped gift boxes. Adding them to any present is like a cherry on top of an ice cream sundae.

Peachy Packaging

Inspired by Pantone's 2012 color of the year, Tangerine Tango, I started to collect ruffles/streamers/ribbon/sequins in various shades of orange. The lights and bold oranges mixed with all of the texture allows for a seamless fit to my current style and aesthetic. I think the colors will freshen up the look of my table design and bring the extra pop that I like. And an update in table colors brings an update in packaging!


With the use of good old Japanese washi tape and some glitter hearts comes some peachy boxes for 2012!!


I like how the coral pink and peach tape coordinates with the purple of the boxes.




Yay!

Do you have a favorite color for 2012? Will you be adding some tangerine tango to your look?

Lovely Package Exchange

I recently participated in the Lovely Package Exchange organized by oh hello friend. It was a simple swap of small gifts wrapped up in lovely materials to spread holiday cheer. My partner in this swap was Lauren of laurendy home. Her blog was one I was happy to discover and I loved getting the opportunity to share this exchange with her. Below are the packages we mailed each other.


A little "hi" inside of the box for Lauren.


Surprises wrapped in colorful tissue paper. The pieces are tied up with gold and silver rope and a sequin band while a glittery gift tag sits atop it all.


Lauren sent me this awesome mix of neutral and bright! I am in love with the fluorescent color of the bow.


Happy packages.

Thank you Danni for organizing this swap and Lauren for being a generous partner!!

Have you gotten all of your gift wrapping done? I am happy to say that I have 3 more parcels to wrap up and I'll be ready for Christmas.

Glittery Gift Tags

In the midst of Christmas preparations and wanting to create a little extra love to wrapped gifts, I put together some glittery gift tags. With soft blue or lavender base, the tags pop with gold or silver glitter flowers. They've got a bit of whimsy and a bit of sparkle, the perfect accessory for any brown paper package.


Purple and gold is love.


Little gold flags! You can write names or celebratory words like "cheer" and "joy" on them.











A few packages with the tags. Love how they dress up plain packaging.

Hoop Earring Packaging

My usual earring packaging consists of card stock stamped with the honey my heart logo. It works for stud earrings and dangle earrings, but didn't look right with hanging hoops. Because the hoops hang from almost the edge of the card and the logo is smallish, there was just too much open space. There was not enough depth. I brainstormed a few option (using business cards, stamping my logo multiple times), and then I turned to my washi tape collection.

Washi tape is one of my current favorite items to use when packaging and in card design. Not only does it hold things together, but the designs and variety of colors brings depth. Below are a few of the cards that hold my hoops.


Teal, blue, and light blue work well with these blue stone and silver earrings.






And teal, light blue, and purple to complement the gold fill and amethyst earrings.

I'm excited to see how the hoops are received this weekend.

What are your favorite uses for washi tape?

PS happy Thursday! Who's excited for The Office tonight?

Blue Boxes

Carrying on with my current infatuation with blues, I decided a little packaging update would be good. While I still have plenty of my mini boxes for smaller pieces of jewelry, these boxes are perfectly sized for longer necklaces and dangling earrings. The boxes are a vibrant blue and embellished with a doily, heart, and a little washi tape. I can't wait to use them at my next show :)










Hope you have a lovely Wednesday!
