Hopefully, we are all doing our part these days to save our plant and keep some things out of the land fills for a while longer. Here is one idea that will help save trees and and your wallet at the same time. 🙂
If you are a serious Stampin’ Up! product nut like I am, you probably have lots of that brown paper that is packed in the Stampin’ Up! boxes you receive from the UPS man. You know the cute guy in brown that we all stock, lol.
As you see in the picture below, I flatten the brown paper out and wrap it around an empty cardboard gift wrap tube to store it. It packs up nicely and doesn’t take much space to store.
Now that we have our paper all rolled up, let’s get started on creating our gift wrap. By the way, the paper can be used as is. Just add a rustic looking ribbon and it looks great.
Supplies:
| Stamps: Stampin’ Up! Medallion, Ornate Blossom |
| Paper: Stampin’ Up! Packing Paper |
| Ink: Stampin’ Up! Baja Breeze & Rich Razzelberry |
| Accessories: Stampin’ Up! Rich Razzelberry Grosgrain Polka Dot Ribbon |

First thing I did was cut a piece of paper off the roll that would fit the box that I wanted to wrap.
You will want to use some big bold stamps for a piece this large. 🙂
I selected the Stampin’ Up Medallion stamp and stamped it in Baja Breeze ink in staggered rows across the paper.
Stamped the Stampin’ Up Ornate Blossom stamp using Rich Razzelberry ink between the Medallion stampings.
Wrapped my gift and added a Rich Razzelberry ribbon. You will want to watch the ribbon when the gift is opened. If the recipient does not want the ribbon, snag it before it hits the trash. 🙂 Again to recycle.
Here is a smaller package, wrap done with Old Olive, Early Espresso and Cajun Craze inks. 🙂
I hope you find value in this tutorial. Now let’s get to recycling!
May your day be filled with all the gifts this wonderful planet has to offer.
Until my next post. . . . . . . .
Hugs,
Michelle
