Well, there was a tip (several actually) that I really liked - it was simple, practical, achievable (most important of all) and cheap!
Instead of buying different wrapping papers for birthday's, babies, anniversary's, engagements and Christmas etc, a 'pea' suggested plain kraft wrap and a coloured ribbon. It became a 'signature' wrap for that person.Well, that took my fancy, so much so, that when I popped out yesterday to Westcity to buy a couple birthday presents, I brought 2x (large) rolls of ribbon and a roll of kraft paper.
The results:
I needed a tag for the gifts - P helped me with the names, using some old alpha stickers I have - recognise the CM at the back??? - and I pulled out my cupcake punch from Martha Stewart to make a boarder. I must admit, I like this idea!
This is actually only 1 of the many ideas I have picked up from the thread - I am gonna try to implement some more other the tips from there! :)

This is deff a great tip. I have to admit I always have a roll of brown paper tucked up the corner of my craft room along with brown paper bags. They look great with stamped images on too. My daughter did a lovely parcel for her dad this Christmas with a snowman stamped in the corner...I have to say it looked fab under the tree.
ReplyDeleteLove the tags you've made Jamey, the parcels look really lovely.
