Design team member Aphra Bolyer created the perfect packaging for holding a gift card or other small holiday gift. Here’s what Aphra had to say … “Gift cards are a popular item on many of my family member’s Christmas lists this year. Since buying a gift card is pretty simple, I like to take a little extra time to wrap it in a creative way. Pebbles Welcome Christmas line was perfect for creating this pillow box for holding my brother’s gift card. The colors are traditional and bold and the patterns are graphic and masculine. LOVE the houndstooth! I think my favorite touch, though, is the mini clothespin for the tag. Too cute!”

Design team member Kim Kesti combines family traditions with her handmade gift this holiday season. Here’s what Kim had to say … “I love blending my gift giving with family tradition. Every family has special holiday foods they look forward to, right? I thought it would be fun to decorate a recipe box and fill it with some of our favorite family recipes. Embellishing the box was a snap with the adorable Pebbles Welcome Christmas collection. The cards were fun and easy, too. I printed the recipes then added a strip of paper and some border stickers (I wanted the cards to remain flat). Lastly, I stamped the cute little flower in pale ink to add some texture. I think my new sister-in-law will get a kick out seeing what dishes are must haves at our family gatherings.”
