You've gotta love the dollar bins at Michael's. I found these colorful Mary Engelbreit emery boards and wanted to package them to give as little gifts. My stepmother, Linda, calls these little presents "happies"...just a tiny something to brighten someone else's day. She's a master at being thoughtful in this way. To make these little happies, I put the nail file in a Stampin Up 1x8 inch cellophane bag. I then used cardstock to match-real red and certainly celery.
The small green topper measures 2x4 inches. I just folded it in half and backed it with red cardstock measuring 2 1/4 x 2 1/4. I colored the bell image with so saffron and real red markers and punched it out with a 1 1/4 circle punch. The ribbon is certainly celery also. I added some red rick rack that I had on hand. The tiny brass bell made a great finishing touch. I bought those at Hobby Lobby.
I got the idea for this project from the fantastic Becky Roberts.
I hope you enjoyed learning about this fun craft. Thank you for stopping by my blog!
