Sometimes a gift is all about how it's presented. Even when someone has asked for something to be created, it's fun to come up with a unique way to hand it to them. I have a great neighbor who is getting ready to move into her first apartment soon. She had asked me to help her make a small banner. Instead, I just surprised her and made it so she didn't have to worry about anything. Of course I couldn't just hand it to her, I needed to come up with a fun way to present it:) She loved it and well, making someone happy like that, by stamping, makes me happy:) All I did was cut a piece of butcher type wrapping paper, fold up to create a pocket, glue the edges together and left the top open. I also ran the folder bottom thru the Big Shot in the embossing folder to create some texture. Super simple and quick!

LOVE it all! I wanna see the banner too!
Actually the banner consisted of night of navy, crumb cake and very vanilla triangles that I sponged and she attached to twine with mini clothespins. No pic, sorry:(
