Gift Wrapping Inspiration and DIY

I absolutely love wrapping gifts! Heres what I did with a bridal shower gift this past weekend. 

I used:

Washi Tape

Map Paper

Embossing powder

Ribbon

Mini Clothes peg

Shipping Tag

Versamark Ink

Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Broken China

Martha Stewart Heat Tool

I wrapped it with some map paper and 1.5 inch tule ribbon in a green similar to the tones on the map. I used a shipping tag and gold embossing powder and stamp to add a sentiment. I added washi tape along the corner tucked it under the ribbon and pinned it on with a tiny clothes peg. 

I also gold embossed the wooden peg by pressing the top of it into some Versamark ink and then heat embossing the gold powder.

 The envelope matched the tag and gift wrap by having some washi tape along the edges. I added a circle cut out of the map paper to coordinate. I used foam adhesive to put the name of the recipient and inked the edges blue with some Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Broken China.

Valentine's Day cards are up for sale!

Here is what I was busy DIY-ing this weekend! They are slowly being posted on the Etsy shop, ready to be ordered! If you live in Toronto and would like to meet up to save on the shipping fees, this can be arranged as well. You can send me a message though my Facebook page for that. I have already had a few people asking about the cards and their availability will be updated as I go along right on the Facebook page, so keep updated there!

Hope these inspire you to create some of your own, or to share your love for Valentine's Day. If you choose to make one of your own, remember to hashtag #eatlovecraft on both Instagram and Twitter (find me at @dasootas and follow).

Enjoy!
