Not just because I was a little late with getting a birthday present to my sister in law, but also because she deserves something pretty, I took a little more time to wrap her gift. Working on mostly recyclable using brown paper I added some flowers and a handmade tag with a little stamping to make this gift a little more than just pretty.
Using punches, patterned papers and some simple embellishments I created a gift that I'm hoping she found hard to open because the wrapping was so pretty.
The flowers you can simply punch and use a bone folder to gently curl the individual petals up or down and then add punched leaves from the Spring and Leaf Stampin' Up! punches. Some I scrunched up to add to the texture and some I sponged the edges with a dauber.
Stampin' Up! Floral Essence flower centres are also a perfect fit for the flowers made from the beautiful Dressed to Impress designer series papers from the Stampin' Up! Spring Mini catalogue.
Hopefully I'm forgiven for being late and hopefully the gift has been viewed, but if it stayed on the sideboard for a while to be admired then that would be a real honour.
For my tag I used the very modern stamp set called Label Me Bold that I also used on my last post with the Peaceful Poppy Elements. It's got some fun background, splatter type stamps and some very up to the minute font sentiments that do exactly as the stamp set name suggests..... they say it bold and simply.
If it's your birthday I hope you have a great day.
Back tomorrow for the Totally Techniques blog hop when we'll share a technique that works for everyone.
Happy stamping
