I’ve mentioned TapeSwell here before but today I’m pleased to welcome them as one of our newest sponsors! TapeSwell, home to some of the coolest packaging tape around, has been up to some pretty exciting things lately. They’ve added new patterns, a whole selection of envelope wraparounds, combo packs AND a new blog! There, you’ll find some clever ideas for using these pretty tapes along with updates about their products.

TapeSwell is also generously offering a 15% discount on all orders through December 31, 2009, just see the ad to the left for the promo code. Be sure to check out what they’ve been up to and how to make all those packaged goodies even prettier this season!

Can you believe it’s December already, my goodness! I just wanted to take a moment to welcome and thank our newest sponsor to Twig & Thistle. For those of you that read t&t with any regularity, you’ve probably noticed that I’m a complete and utter sucker for packaging so I’m extremely excited to share Garnish with all of you. Garnish is a one-stop-shop for all your gift packaging needs. The great part is that each item comes blank so they are completely customizable and ready for your crafty goodness!

Garnish has an Ideas page that shares creative uses and inspiration for their products and you can easily order a kit or just the individual pieces. This is a great resource to have and particularly fitting for the upcoming holidays. Enjoy! …Also, if you’re interested in becoming a sponsor, send me a note and I can fill you in on all the details.
