350 Cards & Gifts Week: The Gift Wrap Challenge

Paper crafted gift bags, tags, wraps, and boxes--it's all about giving of ourselves to make our gifts personal, and heart-felt. A specially crafted, personalized gift wrap makes the recipient feel even more special than the gift inside might suggest.

Because that's what we do--we express ourselves through our craft and we share it with others.

350 Cards & Gifts is all about inspiring that gift of giving. It's about showing you innovative, stylish, and super fun ways to impress your friends, family, and co-workers with creations you've made from your heart. Take these gift wraps, for example--from the heart in every way. Check it:

Happy Banner Gift Bag by Stephani Halinski, p. 84

Moxie Fab Alert: Who wouldn't want to receive a gift contained by this cheerful, fun, and easy-to-make gift bag? I know, right?

Happily Ever After Gift Bag by Kelley Eubanks, p. 92

Moxie Fab Alert: Weddings are a big deal. A once-in-a-lifetime ceremony in which two people pledge their love for one another and make a profound commitment. It seems only fitting that the gift you give would be as beautiful and enduring as the occasion itself. This gift bag both acknowledges the seriousness of the event, as well as its utter loveliness.

Miss You Gift Bag by Teri Anderson, p. 69

Moxie Fab Alert: The possibilities for gift bags are as diverse as they are for card making itself. And remember, it's always possible to take a card design and adapt it to a gift bag and/or tag--and vice versa. This little number could easily be transposed into a card as well.

And so, my friends, in our third day of celebrating the art of the paper crafted gift, I challenge you to create a gift bag, tag, box, or creative wrap that you will pledge to give to someone dear. In exchange, I'll select two random winners to receive a copy of this moxie fab issue--so the more you enter, the better your chances of winning!

Here are the deets you'll need to join in on all the fun:

• Create a paper crafted gift wrap (bag, tag, box, wrap) to give to someone dear.
• Upload it to your blog, click on the title of that post, copy the URL, and add it to Mr. Linky below.
• Tell your readers that you've created your project for the Gift Wrap Challenge in the Moxie Fab World and link it back to this post to encourage your readers to play along as well.
  
• If you don't have a blog, upload your project to this flickr gallery, copy the URL to your project, and add it to Mr. Linky below.
• Upload your projects by midnight EST on Thursday, April 21.
• Two random winning projects will be linked on this blog on Wednesday, April 27 and will receive a copy of 350 Cards & Gifts. 

Let the gift wrappy linking begin!
