I was so excited to participated in Oh Hello Friend‘s Lovely Package Exchange this year. What a fantastic idea! The concept is simple: send a gift to your exchange partner with an emphasis on packaging it in a really beautiful way.

As luck would have it, my partner wrote in her notes about herself that she loves PAPER & CRAFTING. So I thought, what better present then a lot of fun paper & a craft kit? I put together a DIY card making kit for her and had such fun with the packaging aspects too.

The kit included 20 blank cards with coordinating envelopes in the pretty blue boxes, Divine Twine, cute Kraft brown stickers, a roll of printed Washi tape, a variety of patterned papers, & velvet gray ribbon. The little odds and ends (ribbon and twine and tape) found a hope in the burlap bag and the cards themselves were in the blue boxes, while the paper was so pretty rolled up and tied neatly with Divine Twine.

    You are the friend everyone wants because at least we'll have on decent looking gift. I'm lucky if I can get the present in a Christmasy looking sack. You're impressive.
