Wrapping gifts is one of my favourite "hobbies". I never look at it as a chore, but as an opportunity to be creative and have fun. For today's project though, I wanted to try something a little different, so instead of wrapping a box, I made some to look like birthday cakes! These little cakes are about 4" in diameter, and are perfect for little gifts such as jewellery or small toys and trinkets. They are also easy to put together with the right tools.

The nice thing about birthdays is that they are always coming and going, and when they are just about coming up - I like to put on my creative gift wrapping thinking cap! And I did just that to make these presents with layered birthday cakes on them. Working with a box is best, so if you have a present that's just like that, give this project a try! This is a great way to get rid of some of your scrap paper too if you have some. TOOLS & MATERIALS: Ruler Scrap paper Fiskars p

Friends, I'm excited to "wrap" up the holidays with this FF post bringing you all kinds of gift wrapping ideas. If you're still in this stage, I hope you'll find some inspiration below. I also want to wish you all a very, merry Christmas! THANK YOU for another great year. It did come with its challenges (with my new job in January, the blog did slow down for a bit, and I did have close my online shop and switch solely to custom orders), but it also came with lots of ups (re

I've been wrapping presents for days AND LOVING IT! If you're new around here, you'll quickly learn of my gift wrapping obsession. But taping pretty paper to a box is only the first step. What you put on top is the real pièce de ré-sis-tance! I took the merry pleasure to create these glittery word tags to spruce up some gifts. You can get your hands on them too! Just download this free SVG file for your Silhouette CAMEO, and cut on whatever glitter paper your heart desires

What I like about these simple gift toppers is the juxtaposition of the softness of the yarn versus the grittiness of the glitter paper snowflakes. It's simple, but it works, and below you'll find out how to make them. TOOLS & MATERIALS:​ Yarn (two colours per tassel) Card board or notebook (about 6" long) Scissors EK Tools 2" snowflake punch Glitter card stock Hot glue gun DIRECTIONS (PER SNOWFLAKE TASSEL): 1. Wrap both yarns tightly around the notebook about 15 times. 2. W

My favourite kind of craft is coming up with unique gift toppers, and no better time than the present to put on those creative thinking caps. The holidays are a perfect time of year to go nuts with creativity, because every little detail definitely gets noticed. Today, I'm showing you one of my favourite gift ideas to date! Hello Santa's shiny boots! Here's what you need to copy this look: TOOLS & MATERIALS: Silhouette CAMEO Silhouette cutting mat Black and silver glitter c

Show someone how much she means to you with these easy star-studded gift wrapping ideas. First, you want to warm up that Silhouette CAMEO and download this free SVG file. On this document there are three different size stars, but you can adjust them accordingly. Then pop in some glitter paper on the mat (I used pink and silver) to cut some star shapes. Create a garland of stars by taping them to string. After the gift is wrapped, wrap the garland around the top of the pack

In today's project, we're shoving aside traditional wrapping paper and making our gifts festive using 12 x 12 inch scrapbook paper. And, we're taking cues from these fun designs to create unique gift toppers, tags, embellishments, and more! With so many fun scrapbook paper designs out there, I think we sometimes underestimate their worth as wrapping paper. So, I think it's time we take a second look! This project works best for small gifts that can be fully wrapped with a 1
