Inspired by yesterday’s inspiration palette, today’s gift wrap idea just needs some white sparkly ribbon, metallic tissue paper, and mini pinecones. Make mini tassels out of the tissue paper (this DIY doesn’t teach you how to make mini ones, but at least you’ll get helpful hints on how to make them) and tie them in a row along a piece of the sparkly ribbon. Secure that strip of ribbon + tassels onto your wrapped gift and then glue the mini pinecones in between the tassels. Voila. You’ve got yourself something perfectly wrapped.

Wedding Stationery: Desert Cactus

This couple had a southwestern theme for their wedding with peach and turquoise blue as their colors. We kept the invitation itself soft hued and then added the turquoise punch with the envelopes. Printed on smooth white cover paper, these invitations conveyed southwestern all over with the touches of fringe, the cactuses, and the choice of fonts.

Gift Wrap: Desert Print

gift wrap: desert print // #anastasiamariecards

Inspired by yesterday’s inspiration palette, this week’s gift wrap idea is all southwestern. To get the look, cut out square pieces of paper, then cut those diagonally in half. Use mounting tape to secure them onto the top of your wrapped gift. This will give the triangles a 3D look. For some extra fun, toss in something sparkly to dazzle the person you’re gifting this to.
