This week’s Valentine’s gift wrap idea is all about the handmade. From the sheet of wrapping paper to the burlap heart tag, it’s a perfect way to show your love.
1 Create your own wrapping paper by stamping love all over a sheet of white paper. Our Love Stamp is perfect for this! Once it’s dry, wrap your gift!
2 Wrap some red glitter string around the package. Tie the two loose ends together on the back.
3 Cut out a large heart out of burlap paper.
4 Pin the heart to the package using a glitter clothespin.

These custom baby shower invitations were all about class. A black bow tie was the focus in the design, with playful type accompanying it. Printed on smooth white paper — and then coordinated with brown kraft envelopes and sunshine yellow twine, these invitations were simply adorable.

Inspired by yesterday’s classy black and white inspiration palette for Valentine’s Day (perfect for those who are tired of pink and red), this week’s Valentine’s gift wrap idea is black and white on kraft.
1 Place your gift in a plain kraft box.
2 Cut out two hearts, one from black paper and one from a textured white/ivory paper.
3 Dab dots of glue onto the black heart and add some glitter for a sparkle effect.
4 Place the second heart on top of the black heart, punch two holes, and string some black tinsel ribbon through.
5 Wind the tinsel ribbon around the box a few times and secure with a knot on the back.

After all the whirlwind of Christmas and the New Year — and then getting miserably sick for eight days — I’m finally getting around to sharing one of the cutest cards with you that I had the privilege to make last year. The newly-married wife wanted something special for her husband, and what else than something incredibly personal for the couple? The gal has an adorable nickname that she dubbed her love, and it was used as the inspiration for this card.
A teddy bear was assembled from twelve pieces, given a sparkling gold hat, and a jar of dripping honey was placed in front.
