Have you guys started getting ready for the holidays yet? For the last few years, I’ve waited until the last minute, but this year I’m trying to get ahead of the game and wrap some gifts that I already know I’ll be giving.
My Holidays book is a good way to start. And I wanted to wrap them in a cute, quick and totally customizable way. So I’m working with Zazzle.com to create fun, custom cards and packaging. You can upload your own photographs or artwork to their site to make endless types of unique gifts from shirts and phone cases to lunch boxes and lamps. Lots of stuff.
I stayed with paper products though and made something special for the holidays. I used some of my photographs from the book to create illustrated versions of my cake pops, so the whole gift could be one cute coordinating package.
I started with cards, but soon stumbled onto stamps!
Ack! Have you ever made your own stamps? This is such a cool extra touch that makes mailing something more special.
The only problem is they are so cute I don’t know if I can stand to send them away. I think I’m going to just have to order more to keep for myself.
I also made these sweet stickers in pink and green… because, as usual I couldn’t decide on just one color to stick with.
But let me show you my favorite new thing to make.
Wrapping Paper!!!!
Yes, rolled wrapping paper. You can get so creative with this for special occasions. Birthdays, anniversaries, the holidays, of course. I can’t wait to make more.
Okay, let’s get wrapping!
Oh yeah, I’m popping a few sticks inside the box with my book, so I relabeled them to match the packaging.
Wrap in tissue, stuff with some coordinating paper filler and then seal with a sticker.
Add a coordinating bow and it’s wrapped and ready!
Yay! One present down.
And here’s a few more. Pink wrapping paper for these adorable little Frosty Friends Mini Kits.
I’m thinking stocking stuffers.
Now, who should I send some to?
I thought I’d give away three gift sets if you’d want to get ahead of the game this holiday too and let me wrap a present for you.

Love the pink always the pink …
Normally I’d be all about the green for Christmas, but the pink is just too cute!
So cute! I’d have to go with green. Or pink! Honestly, either would be delightful.
Green is perfect for the holidays!!! :)
I love the green!
It’s all so adorable! I would love the pink! It’s so girly and fun!!
i love the pink…… thanks for the giveaway
What a great idea! I love the green paper.
Those stamps look awesome. I think green because it reminds me more of the holiday season!
Omg! The wrapping paper is so cute! I really like the green because its a Christmas color!
OH MY GOODNESS! These are ADORABLE!!! I love them both! I would have to choose pink, though, because we’re trying to adopt a little girl soon and pink would be perfect for her! As far as wrapping paper I’d like to make…I make handmade cards and some of the images I color for those cards would make adorable wrapping paper and such! It’s all too much fun! :)
There is no way I could decide between pink or green! They are both so cute! I love drawing swirly things so I’d probably draw something fun & make my own wrapping paper out of that.
The pink for sure, we the girls need pink.
I choose pink! You are so creative !
Pink please! Thanks for this great giveaway!
I LOVE the green wrapping. It’s so pretty and festive!
These are too cute! I love them! If I got to choose, I would go with pink because that’s my daughter’s favorite color and I’m sure she would love opening it and using them to make cake pops!
Both are really pretty but I prefer the green one ^ – ^
The green is superadorable and very apropos for Christmas.
The green is adorable. Fits right with the season. Thanks for all your inspiration.

I think both are so cute but I would like the green since I have a little boy to wrap presents for. This will be his first Christmas so we’ll be wrapping our presents in brown paper with his hand print in green on the top.
