I had so much fun decorating the wrapping paper for this gift and wanted to share a picture with you of the final result.
I'm normally too much of a perfectionist and it gets in the way of me enjoying some artsy/craftsy things. This time I somehow turned off the inner critic and just had fun! Nothing is really even, the wrapping job is a bit lumpy... and I don't care LOL!
The stamps: the star stamp was hand-carved from an eraser. The rest were store bought from Michaels.
The ink: inexpensive dye-based stamp pads - also from Michaels. The silver dots on the trees were added by hand with a new gel pen I am loving.
The paper: I have supplements shipped to me by mail and I always save the packing paper to re-use. It is not very strong so I doubled it up to make sure it wouldn't rip when the gift was handled.

I love your paper, it's so pretty! And am happy you had fun creating it. I have also been getting quite creative with wrapping paper, and have been making my own Seasonal/Christmas up-cycled cards. I have shared one on my latest post. Hope you are well. ~
