new hang tags!

I ordered some custom stamps for my new hang tags and they arrived today. I'm super excited! Plan is to use shipping tags and then stamp on my roma info. I wanted something crafty looking but simple and clean. What do you think?

colors, details and packaging

After posting about brown paper bags, I totally got lost in the blog world of packaging and couldn't resist posting these images of packaging with colors. I love the unique shapes and patterns. Above is from Lisa at A Creative Mint. She also post on Decor8 in a category called Color Me Pretty. Check it out for more themed colored packaging,

Another fun idea from mint, spray paint newspaper!

Packaging - Brown paper bags

 I love the simplicity in brown paper bag packaging. It's so fun to play around with, decorating with colors and textures. I also love the sustainable idea behind it: reusing. As I look into developing packaging for Roma, I found these crafters and their beautiful brown bag packaging worthy of noting. If you want more info and fun images please check out the following links with posts about the importance of packaging.

Yellows and grey are currently trendy and nice. I like the complimentary white doodles. These are reused Trader Joe's bags.

This girl has got the best packaging ever! Danni from Oh, Hello Friend is so talented. I recently ordered a watch necklace from her { love it! } and I received this cute little box like in the image above, which of course I'm saving. For more packaging ideas please check out her blog!

Love the bag, lace and twine.
