Personalized gift wrapping

by Cards_by_Paula @ Friday, 20. Jun, 2008 - 11:40:40

My son is going to a birthday party today (another one!) and I thought that as he's going to give the birthday girl a handmade card and a couple of handmade hair clips it would be nice if the wrapping would be special too so I chose a brown envelope and embellished it like this:

Embellished envelope to be used as gift wrapping

The little cupcakes were transfered onto white card and the outline embossed with gold embossing powder. Then I coloured in the paper case and the cake with my pastel Whispers pens and sprinkled some Bridal embossing tinsel, melted the embossing powders with the heat gun and then did the cherry using Red tinsel embossing powder. What I found out when doing this is that when the Bridal embossing tinsel melts the colour underneath still shows through which I think is a very good trick ;-)

Clever idea and a gift is so much nicer when it's personalized. :)

I think she liked it :-) I love to wrap up gifts and give them that special different touch. Thank you for your comments.
