Oh hoppy day! Sweet hostess gift wrapping inspiration.
Thursday, 4 April 2019
Looking for a fun way to package chocolates and baked goods as hostess gifts? Check out our cake pop boxes! They're not just for cake pops.
Sources: Chocolates and cookies from Christy's Gourmet Gifts | flowers from Flower Treasures | cake pop box, sizzle, ribbon
We simply added an Easter message to the box by adding "faux" hand lettering using a Sharpie paint marker. The ribbon is actually our plain white 1 1/2" satin ribbon that was coloured using watercolour paints.
Keep reading for the DIY instructions for adding hand lettering to the window of this box.
We added small chocolate bunnies and cookies from Christy's Gourmet Gifts to this cake pop box as a hostess gift idea. Green sizzle was added to the inside of the box to keep the chocolates and cookies in place and to add a pop of colour to the presentation.
Flower Treasures spray painted baby's breath in colours to match the watercolour ribbon.
The cake pop box also makes a great container to carry large chocolate Easter eggs. The sizzle keeps the egg from rolling around and covers the holes in the cake pop base.
Note: The cake pop box is sold in two parts. The lid makes it easier to transport cake pops on the base and is sold as an add on. Both are available in white and kraft.
Here's how you can recreate the "hoppy day" hand lettering on the cake pop box window:
- Download the printable template.
- Print the template "size as is" to fit the box window.
- Cut the lettering out and centre it inside of the box as shown above. Use painter's tape to hold the lettering in place.
- Using a white Sharpie paint marker, trace the lettering on the outside of the window.

You can also use the "hoppy day" template to add faux letter on glass containers.
Use the same white Sharpie paint markers on glass so you can remove the lettering later using water and a paper towel.
If you try any of these ideas, tag us at #creativebaginspire and @creativebagco so we can see what you've created.
Hoppy Easter!

Sweet packaging ideas for Easter using our macaron boxes
Tuesday, 27 March 2018
Our macaron boxes are a customer favourite all year round. Today we are going to share a couple of ideas for using our single window macaron favor boxes for Easter celebrations.
These macarons are from Macaronz. The macarons were hand painted with whimsical designs for Easter and packaged in our single macaron favor boxes. Simply embellish these boxes with ribbons and gift tags if you want to use these as party favors.
We added ribbon "bunny ears" to the bunny macaron packaging for a whimsical touch.
Note: you can find a DIY tutorial for painting on macarons here.
You can also use these single macaron favor boxes to package many other sweets. Here they were used to package Easter treats on lollipop sticks. Continue reading and we'll show you how!
Use a hole punch with a long reach to punch a hole in the bottom flap of the box.
Close the bottom of the box.
Slide the treat into the box from the top so that the lollipop stick come out the bottom.
Once the treat is inside you can close the top of the box.
Ribbon makes this packaging complete.
Don't forget we also carry candy bags that can be used to package these sweet holiday treats!!

Homemade Gifts in a Jar
Friday, 8 December 2017
We collaborated with blogger Nicole from Simply Nic Nutrition to create a number of handmade holiday gift giving ideas. Nicole created all of the homemade gifts and packaged them using our glassware, ribbons, twine, holiday stickers and gift tags.
Who doesn't like freshly baked cookies? Give the joy of baking with this Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oat Balls holiday gift jar. Nicole shares her recipe for the dry ingredients on her blog and the gift tag download contains the instructions for how to make the cookies. You can package the cookie mix in 16oz mason jars for this project but we liked the idea of using a mug. Did you know that we have custom printed mason jar mugs online?
Featured Products: mason jar mug, baker's twine, moose & buffalo plaid stickers are available in store only.
Nicole shares her simple recipe for making a healthy holiday jello using cranberry juice and gelatin. The jello was packaged in 4oz quilted crystal jars and decorated with stickers and burlap ribbon. We think that these would be perfect for holiday entertaining and would look wonderful stack up for guests to serve themselves.
Featured Products: mason jar mug, burlap ribbon, moose & buffalo plaid stickers are available in store only.
Make your own apple cider using this recipe and package it in tall swing top glass bottles. These glass bottles make great single serving containers. Perfect for holiday entertaining, just add straws and let guests serve themselves.
Featured Products: swing top glass bottle, twine, moose & buffalo plaid gift cards are available in store only.
Gifts in a jar don't all have to be something edible. We love this peppermint hand salve holiday gift idea. Swing top jars or mason jars can be used to package the hand salve.
Featured Products: large swing top glass containers and moose & buffalo plaid stickers are available in store only, satin ribbon.
Nicole is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist who blogs about recipes, food information and
inspiration that is simple and wholesome. You can find all of the recipes for these projects and more on the Simply Nic Nutrition blog.
Special thanks to Heidi Lau Photography for all the the photos in this post.

The Sweet Life collection is basically white and gold with a "sprinkle" of colours. Think of it like holiday sugar cookies that are just waiting for you to add whatever colour of icing and sprinkles that you want - pastel or brights - because everything goes!
Featured products: gold heart wrapping paper, cookies and sprinkles wrapping paper, satin ribbons, striped ribbon, baker's twine, pink and gold gift box.
Products in the collection were intended to be used for gift packaging. Wouldn't these look amazing in window and instore displays in both bake shops and retail stores.
Make it fun with lots of colours or keep it sophisticated and simple by just using white & gold like our custom cookies by Emma's Sweets. The DIY cookie cutter ornaments were created using oven baked clay and custom cookie cutters that match our "cookie and sprinkles" print.
Featured products: gold heart wrapping paper, cookies and sprinkles wrapping paper, satin ribbons, striped ribbon, baker's twine, pink and gold gift box, gold heart tissue paper

Party Inspiration: Modern Wilderness Baby Shower. Let's Eat.
Thursday, 20 July 2017
Welcome to our Modern Wilderness Baby Shower.
We teamed up with an amazing group of local entrepreneurs and makers to create a styled shoot filled with unique details that are sure to inspire. This is the first of three posts and today is all about our sweet table set up because honestly, who doesn't love a sweet table?!
The party colours were primarily black and white. It's a perfect palette for a gender neutral theme and you can add pops of colour with the food and flowers. As you will see, a few pink elements will be revealed during the party.
A modern wilderness themed nursery was the inspiration for the party. A few baby gifts were left unwrapped and incorporated into the party decor. The black and white striped play tent will make a wonderful gift. We placed it beside the sweet table so party gifts could be placed inside. Balloons and paper lanterns are easy to set up, take up a lot of space and are available in colours to match almost any colour palette.
Our adorable two tier cake was inspired by a handmade fox doll and the hand drawn graphics printed on a onesie. We added a striped paper straw to the acrylic love cake topper to add a pop of colour.
The toy camera is a reminder to grab a real camera for the cake cutting.
The cake cutting reveals an ombre pink filling - a clue for guests that a little girl was on the way.
Find it here: Cake serving sets. Wrapping papers to cover books and to laminate for cake liners.
Find it here: candy cups, chalkboards, paper straws, faux antler card holders, baker's twine, eat cake acrylic sign, gold foil edged gift boxes, round boxes, striped ribbon, printed napkins.
Our beautiful floral arrangements were created using our exclusive gold foil edge gift boxes. They were topped off with "eat cake" acrylic signs and an adorable felted bird.
Our Mama-to-be above is wearing a teething necklace that is as practical as it is fashionable.
You can find more photos and details about our styled baby shower shoot in the current Mingle Magazine. We're pretty excited that our party is featured on the front cover so we are doing a giveaway on Instagram. The giveaway is going on until July 30, 2017 so hurry over and enter to win!!
In our next post, we'll be sharing more details from the baby shower. So stay tuned.
