Last Minute Gift Wrapping & Tag Solutions using Recycled Paper and scraps from your crafting stash Stampin Up! UK

Today I am offering you some last minute Gift Wrapping and tag solutions

This is pretty much how I wrap my gifts each year, just using different stamps and accessories
The Tags are made using Crumb Cake Cardstock and stamped in either Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow or Night of Navy Classic Ink Pads
I have used a selection of this years Autumn/Winter Seasonal Catalogue Stamp Sets for the tags
For the wrapping paper, I used my Wheel stamps
Sadly they are now retired, but they remain in my stash and come out for all my gift packaging solutions throughout the year

I like to co-ordinate my tags, inks and ribbons/trims with my parcels as it has a classy look to it, and of course this year we had all that lush Cording Trim which has been used extensively in the run up to Christmas

I hope the photo's below will give you a little inspiration for wrapping your parcels this year.

Tutorial

  1. Die cut x 4 pillow boxes pieces using the Square Pillow Box Die, from Basic Black Cardstock I cut down A4 sheets into A5 sheets so the cardstock would go through the Big Shot (15 cms wide
  2. Tape, fold and Burnish the tab on each piece, ensuring you keep the tabs on the right hand side
  3. Using a little Tombow,  stick 2the boxes together at the semi circle scored area - again, ensuing you keep the tabs all on the right hand side, you should end up with each beox being x 2 die cuts wide, and x 2 die cuts long
  4. Fold the box in half and burnish the fold again (as it is now a thicker fold)
  5. Stick the 2 boxes with the tape you placed on the tabs earlier
  6. Gently run your finger around the score lines at the top and bottom of the box, and tease the concave edge into place
  7. Trim a piece of Designer Series Paper (decorative paper) to 6cms x 40 cms
  8. Usubg your Metric Scoring Plate, score at 10.5 cms & 21 cms
  9. Apply tape to one short end of the DSP, wrap around the box and stock the DSP together using the tape you just placed on one end.
  10. That is your basic box, now it is up to you how you decorate your lovely boxes, that can also be used to create luxury crackers for your festive table
