Your Guide For Stylish Living
This year my holiday gift wrap was all about a classic Christmas colors and fun embellishments. I always add a little something extra to any gift I give but during the holidays I tend to embellish my gifts more.
In my world, giving a gift that is beautifully wrapped is part of the gift giving experience.

I started wrapping gifts last night and decided to change things up a bit and not rely solely on ribbon to finish off my gifts. Given my love of ribbon I know this must be shocking but what I came up with adds a bit of fun and whimsy to my gifts.
I’ll have more holiday gift wrapping ideas for you next week!

It’s the holiday season and that means gift giving time. One of my go-to gift wrapping supplies during the busy holiday season is gift bags. I usually don’t but the pre-decorated bags but instead opt to decorate my own to create something unique and special for my family or friends.
To create this gift bag I started with a simply brown Kraft bag. I love the look of Kraft paper with traditional Christmas colors.
I then used my circle cutter to cut 4″ dia circles from red tartan plaid paper and white card stock.
Next I used one of the Yes Chef stamps designed by Jennifer Garant and stamped the chef on wheels in the center of my white cardstock circle. I then added some color to the design using Prima Markers and hand scripted the Eat, Drink and Be Merry message along the bottom. A classic red and white diamond print ribbon finishes off the circle.
The last step was layering the plaid and stamped circles onto the front of the gift bag and adding a red pom-pom as my bow.
This fun gift bag is being filled with libations and treats and I know the person receiving this will definitely Eat, Drink & Be Merry!
If you’re doing any holiday crafting this season, check of the full line of Craffiti Direct Stamps. There are so many wonderful designs to choose from and right now they are running a 25% off sale on all stamps.
I’m using one of these stamps to make some of my holiday gift tags and this stamp to make some New Years party invites. I’ll share those projects with you next week.
Happy Holiday Crafting!
Happy Friday!
Happy Monday and happy 4th of July week.
Sorry I was MIA the end of last week. I was a busy bee and blogging just had to take a back seat for a moment. Today I’m back, rested and full of new inspiration!
Since this is a short week and most everyone I know is looking forward to the fun and festivities on the 4th of July, I thought this week on ConfettiStyle would be all about crafting and DIY projects. I’ve been busy painting, decorating and getting crafty so check in daily to see what I’ve been up to.
Today it’s my latest gift wrap inspiration, inspired by the 4th of July.
I love to gift wrap and when glitter and sparkles are involved it’s even more fun. The 4th of July is a big deal for those of us that live here in the US and the symbolic colors of the 4th inspired these fun gifts.
Since the boxes I was wrapping were small, I decided to use 12″ x 12″ scrap-book paper as the wrapping instead of traditional gift wrap. There are so many more design options available in scrapbook paper so finding a fun combination of red, white and blue patterns was easy.
I wrapped each of the boxes in a different paper and used contrasting red, white and blue ribbons on top. I purchased all of my ribbon from Grosgrain Annie’s Ribbon Emporium at the Lakewood 400 Antiques show. Joanne has a great selection of unique ribbons and one of the best velvet ribbon collections I’ve come across.
To give my gifts and little extra something, I layered the ribbons and then added some fun embellishments on top.
Isn’t this red diamond ribbon fun? The diamond pattern reminds me of stars so it worked great with my 4th of July theme. To created the fullness in the bow I cut several strips of ribbon and tied multiple single bows together.
The red shimmer pom poms I had left over from a Christmas project looked great on this package.
The red and white damask paper looked great with this wide ribbon which I wrapped around the box to create a wide band. Then I added a few glitter stars and glued a white button to the center of the red star. Very festive!
For this last gift I wanted to create a DIY sparkler topper. All it took was a few Lollipop sticks and more shimmer pom poms. Layered stars finish off the top of the gift.
Wrapping these gifts have definitely put me in the mood for a hot dogs, fireworks and a fabulous 4th of July!
See you back here tomorrow for more DIY fun.
