Introducing Perfect Presentation

Good Evening! Do you ever look at something and say, "I can do that." but never get around to it?  I have finally done something that I have wanted to do for a long time but was too lazy, didn't have time, fill in any old excuse here, etc.  I have started making my own templates for packaging.  If you are a regular reader of my blog then you know I am a template freak.  I have wanted certain types of packaging and decided to stop waiting around for someone else to make it and just make it myself.  Perfect Presentation is a line of printable templates for a perfect presentation!

I will have all 3 file types available: .svg, .gsd and .pdf.  When you purchase the .svg or .gsd, you will get a copy of the .pdf version at no additional charge.   I am working on making sure the .svg version is ok and will have that file type available soon.
*********************************
The first template is called Favor Box (original, huh?!) and if you can come up with a cooler name, I'll give you the template free.  So, leave a comment for a chance to name the template and win a copy.  This is a roomy box measuring 4x3x3 not including the handle and will hold quite a bit.  The template purchase includes instructions with photos and uses 2 sheets of cardstock.



This one is for my husband for Valentine's Day and is minimally decorated.  It's probably still too girly for him *sigh*, but he'll just have to say he loves it to continue living here.


Here's the inside view.  I'm thinking it's kind of a long time until Valentine's Day, so I should probably go ahead and eat that candy and buy him some more closer to the big day.  Wouldn't want it to go stale.

View from the top.  The side flaps fold over the handle.


 I've got a few templates ready and am putting the finishing touches on the instructions and will show those when they are available.  I am also having a talented designer work on a blog badge and will have that up when it's ready.

Check my sidebar and grab a badge made by the awesome Veronica McCollum at VK Design Co.

 Fun times ahead!   

The contest to re-name this template will end on January 1st.  (Don't worry, if you HAVE to have this template now and happen to win the name contest, you can choose from one of the other templates that will be available.)

Thank you for stopping by!
