I bought a BUNCH of various and wonderful wrapping paper at a sale several weekends ago- my goal will be to use it up the rest of the year! No Christmas wrapping paper in December for me!

one large image in the middle of the piece of paper... I love this one too! My mom actually framed one of these pieces for me, and it's now part of the holiday decor collection.

I was inspired by this on the website heroarts.com/stampcraft/stampcraft.cfm?craftID=97&catID=. I love the way the box, wrapping paper and cards are all co-ordinated.

 

The set I made is for a new baby girl. I had great fun making the box, card and wrapping paper. But I’m glad I didn’t have a huge size present to wrap as there was plenty of colouring and applying stickles on this size one! I’ll definitely make lots more wrapping paper in the future.

I found this felt in my craft closet, decided to use it on Christmas gifts...no peeking Ramsey!

With their weird neighbors The Gruesomes! This is probably from the '60's or '70's.

I'm wrapping Christmas presents and catching up on Tivo tonight.

 

Edit: Yay, thanks DCist!

This was a fun gift to wrap ... partly because Kathryne loves to receive really pretty packages. She saves the ribbon and paper, so I don't hesitate to spend a little more to get supplies that go the extra mile when wrapping gifts for her.

 

The colors used to wrap the present were chosen to match the gift inside (see previous photo). This paper is stitched with a floral pattern using silver and white thread. It's unique and very, very chic.

 

In order to let the stitching on the paper create a sparkle all on its own, I chose not to use silver ribbon in the bow. Instead, I used a wide, sheer pink ribbon with solid borders, a narrower, structured ribbon striped with black, white and gray and a fancy, pearlized, cream ribbon to echo the stitching in the paper and to add texture.

 

The technique I used to make the bow is a combination of styles learned from Carolyne Roehm and Martha Stewart with a twist of my own thrown in to simplify one of the steps.

 

The "hydrangea" card is by Ellen Blonder, one of my all-time favorite illustrators.

 

Despite the fact that several of our family members were still recovering from a week of illness, we had a great time celebrating Kathryne's birthday. We ate homemade chocolate cake along with scoops of vanilla ice cream in homemade frozen chocolate cups ... cool! I pretended that those items were on my diet in honor of the occasion.

 

Thank you, Kathryne, for giving me an opportunity to be creative and indulge in some of Gran's wonderful homemade desserts. Happy birthday!
