Hello friends,

Katie here.  The holidays are approaching and one of my favorite parts of the season is wrapping gifts.  Unfortunately, I am usually running around at the last minute, and I run out of time to do much more than wrap the gifts and hastily stick a label and plastic bow to the center.  My plan this year is to finish my shopping early, so I can spend some time thinking about presentation- pretty papers and stunning accents.  To inspire and motivate myself and share some inspiration with you, I am sharing some ideas for festive gift wrap.

I love these elegant gifts adorned with feathers and touches of gold. I think the Feather More stamp set and Feather More dies would help replicate this look.

These gorgeously textured gifts were wrapped in wall paper and fabric- what a great use of materials from a DIY home improvement project!

Kraft coupled with black and white makes for a trendy and timeless presentation.

Replace the plastic gift wrap and bows with eco friendly kraft and natural materials including evergreens, cinnamon and berries. These presents smell as good as they look.

I adore this sweet color combination of red, pink, aqua and lots of white.

Since my holiday shopping isn’t finished yet (or even started!), I decided to get my gift wrap fix by playing with the Little Gifts stamp set along with the Stocking stamp set, Tiny Star Die and Tiny Twine Bow Die.  I would love for you stop by my blog for more details and how to’s!

Thank you for sharing all these wonderfulness with us today, Katie! Your card is adorable!
