Inspired by yesterday’s inspiration palette, I wrapped up a little thank you present in tune with it. I wrapped it in my gold kraft paper, but used the opposite side for a more subtle look. Then I glued a mini translucent envelope on the top with a little thank you card inside and some hot pink confetti. Sealed it with two types of gold washi tape, and then added a little bit of gold washi tape on the sides and hot pink ribbon to finish it off.

I’m heading off on a much needed vacation somewhere tropical, which means the shop will be closed and the blog won’t get any new posts for a while. So, just to keep things fun, I’m having a big giveaway — both to celebrate one year with my new brand and to say thank you to all of you who continue to support what I do. Less than a year ago I revamped my creative space to actually be a place where my creativity can flourish.

I find myself unusually attracted to wrapped packages decked out with a paper flower on top. You might remember my fuchsia inspired one, which I believe was my first official gift wrap post in this new series. Inspired by yesterday’s inspiration palette of anemones and blackberries, this week’s gift wrap idea is all about paper anemones.
Each flower had five layers, two layers of petals in white and then a center with two layers of blue and a gold glitter brad glued on top for some fun. I used dried leaves as fillers and added a mauve satin ribbon to complete the look.
