Embellished Gift Wrap
By Guest Artist

Heather Doran shares how to create gorgeous decorated wrapping paper.

Featured Product:
CL383 Antique Engravings


Hero Materials:
CL139 ClearDesign: Birthday Messages
CL383 Antique Engravings
CL495 Blossom Art
VC250 VersaMark Watermark Stamp Pad

Additional Materials:
Roll of craft paper, vellum, gems, white embossing powder, string

Instructions:
  1. Cut pieces of paper from the roll to the appropriate size for each gift.
  2. Stamp each piece of paper repeatedly with a butterfly from the Antiques Engravings set using VersaMark.
  3. Using VersaMark and white embossing powder, emboss the butterflies and flowers on vellum, cut out and add gems.
  4. Emboss the birthday sentiment in white on vellum and also on a small piece of the blue paper.
  5. Adhere the sentiment which is on blue paper to a piece of cardstock (for added strength) and cut out.
  6. Cut out the sentiment which has been embossed on vellum. Using adhesive foam pads put the sentiment layers together and attach to the centre of the large parcel.
  7. Finally, add some string to the small parcel and adhere the butterflies and flowers to the parcels using adhesive foam pads.

Variation:
Keep a stash of pre-embossed and cut vellum butterflies and flowers on hand for when you're wrapping in a hurry.
