Wrapping presents is one of my favourite parts of the run up to Christmas. I love making each present look beautiful and like time and has been taken to make it special. I always take special care to choose the right paper each year. This year I bought my wrapping paper (in black and gold) in a three pack of different designs and it came with tags and ribbons. I was disappointed when I opened up the pack to discover that the tags and ribbons were not quite as pretty as the paper itself. So I decided to make some. At first I thought about using the different papers to make some tags when I remembered I had some of Anna's beautiful collage sheets that I printed but hadn't used yet.
I thought the beautiful colours in the October sheets would pop perfectly against the black and gold papers, so I glued the paper to some cardstock to give it strength and cut out some tag shapes. I did some embossing with some Christmassy stamps I had and I think they look perfect against the papers.
I also cut out some thin strips of the papers and used these like ribbon to wrap around the presents here:
I hope you are finding some time to be crafty in what can be a crazy time in the run up to Christmas.
