This gift wrap is inspired by yesterday’s palette. I took some kraft paper, crumpled it up a bit and used that as wrapping paper. I then took a metallic gold ink pad and lightly brushed across the top of the wrapped package. This colored the bigger of the crumples for some added texture. Next, jute string was wrapped around the box and little ribbon knots were tied onto it. For the tag, I just took a piece of scrap paper, punched the corners with a decorative punch, and voila — a perfectly wrapped gift!

Valentine’s Day is tomorrow and for those of you who have yet to wrap up the gift you’re giving to your love, here’s a fun one. I had a bunch of hearts left over from a previous project, so I decided to use them for this plus some fun dotted paper. I am kind of obsessed with dots at this point as you may have noticed since my last gift wrap idea had dots too. I think they add so much playfulness to everything.

So this gift was wrapped in dotted paper and then I secured some mounting tape onto the back of some paper hearts and applied them on top of the wrapped gift. Four of the hearts spelled out “love.” This can be achieved by using letter punches or an exacto knife.
