Handmade Gift Wrap


One of my favorite things is packaging, paper and presentation. Find me one of those fancy stationary stores, and I'm in heaven.

This year, I was inspired by a few of the blogs I follow to make my own gift wrap. And my ribbon of the year was this turquoise!

This first gift above was for my niece. I fell in love with that big lollipop when i saw it, and I hand carved the stamp used on that paper and added a little frosted greenery.

The second gift below was for my mom. A little winter wonderland of a present with a hand-glittered polka-dot design.

I created a few other hand-stamped gift wrap options but didn't get to photograph them. And I never did get to attempt this more elaborate hand-carved stamp. There are many more holidays to come however. Who says my creations have to be limited to Christmas!?
