For today’s blog hop, I created a stamped wrapping paper to use as decorative packing for a personalized monogram gift. Handmade packaging is a great way to add an extra special and personal touch to your presents.

gift


I started by stamping floral images from Engraved Flower Stamp Set with black onto a plain kraft packaging paper and I used it to wrap my gift.

I added a decorative lace ribbon, a monogram that was cut with the Mega Alphabet K die out of gold glitter cardstock, a fresh greenery and that’s it!

This set features eight gorgeous floral images along with five endearing sentiments. The images have beautiful details that give them an engraved look.

I stamped my images with black ink and used Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers to do some colouring.

hello


For my next card I used Handpicked Bouquet Stamp Set. This set features a sweet rose bouquet that has multiple layers.

thank you


I decided to use only the outline images and again used Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers to colour them in. To finish the card I stamped my sentiment and added some ink splatters.
