Not all gifts need to be wrapped in ribbon and bows and today, I’ve got an idea for you that requires no ribbon. So for those of you who can’t tie a pretty bow, this is for you! Inspired by yesterday’s palette, I punched out flowers from glitter paper, bent the petals up, and secured them onto the top of the wrapped gift with tacky glue. Then I filled in the middles with white puff glue. And that’s it! If you’ve got a big gift, this will be very time consuming, so I guess this would work best if you’ve got a little gift, like the one I wrapped up.

This custom card shows the story of a long-distance relationship. He lives in Portland and she lives in Seattle. Yes, that tree is the divider between realms. On his side, it’s the city of Portland with Mt. Hood; on her side of the tree, it’s Seattle with the Space Needle.
The story behind this card is adorable — that even though they can’t be around each other all the time, they still find time to be “together.” Here they are sitting under a tree reading the same book and thinking of each other…

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!
