Hi everyone! Christmas will be here in just a week, friends! Eek! Do you have all the shopping and gift wrapping done? Well, in case you still have some little gifts to pack, I have a couple of wrapping ideas for you using Waffle Flower Crafts stamps and dies.
The fist one is a very merry pillow box. It can fit jewelry or a gift card, for example.
I die cut the box from patterned paper with the Silhouette Cameo and then went to town decorating it. I started with a white cardstock strip where I stamped a sentiment from Holiday Labels - Merry. Once it was adhered, I die cut the leafy vine and the bow from Loved stamp set. I love that this set has coordinating dies!
The bow was heat embossed in gold. Then I added the berries. I used a tiny circle punch. Here's a trick: I wanted the berries to be the very exact red as the box, so I punched the tiny circles from a scrap of the same patterned paper. You could also use tiny rhinestones or pearls, or add dots of red glitter glue.
The second idea is a gift bag. I used the WRMK Gift Bag Punch Board to make the bag and had a lot of fun dressing it up!
Some green cardstock straps came in very handy to make the stripes. I just trimmed the scraps to the same width and adhered them with scor-tape.
For the label, I used Holiday Label 1 die to die cut the label from patterned paper. Then I stamped and heat embossed the coordinating label outline from Holiday Labels - Merry. Next, I stamped and heat embossed the big tag that comes in the same set, and trimmed it partially so I could fit it perfectly inside the label.
I finished the bag with bakers twine and some glittery dots that I've had in my stash forever. They're super cute!
That's all from me today. I'm currently visiting my family in Spain, so in case I don't have a moment to pop around again before the big day, I wish you a Very Merry Christmas!
These are so bright and festive! I love that bracket on the bag, great mix of woodgrain, embossing, and white!
