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.

PINK!!!!
I’d prefer green wrapping paper.
This is awesome! I’d go for the pink- my mom would flip!
Love the wrapping paper and I would choose pink :)
I would have to go with green, but it’s a tough decision! I didn’t know about the stamps; what a great idea for Christmas cards!
Pink as that is my daughter’s favorite color! Love it!!
I’d like green, please.
I’d want pink wrapping paper, and I’d someday want to make a Harry Potter wrapping paper.
Love them both! I want to make edible wrapping paper! hohoho ;)
As much as I love pink I think I’d prefer the green – it will match my Christmas decorations!
Pink pink pink .
Totally love the idea of a wrapping n the stamp…just tooooo adorable for words
…I would love to win something that makes the creativity flow…n wrapped up so pretty! <3
I love them both! Either would be great for me!
Definitely Green!
They are both so cute but I think I would love to have the green one.
Green please! :)
Love the pink and the green! I just can’t decide! Would love either color! Just too cute!
I love the green paper! Such cute ideas. I’m already re-thinking some of my Christmas gifts because of this post. :)
I’d probably have to go with the green, but both are too freakin cute!
Pink for me!
oooh, i love pink – but green is pretty and perfect for Christmas! lovely ideas here; i’m so inspired.

I would be thrilled with either one, they are both lovely and inspired!! I would like to make an invisible wrapping paper for the people I love to protect them from accidents and disease. I think I might need some sort of magic ring for that!! Love your blog Angie. You are an artist!!
Both are super cute, but I am partial to PINK :) Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the pink.
Oooown *-* I’d like to have the two ones, but ok, i choose… humm… the green one!
I love the green!
GREEN!!
I choose – I don’t know! Pink or green! They are both so cute!
Pink is my favorite color, but I’m loving green these days. I guess that means I can’t decide! I’d make wrapping paper with cupcakes all over it! Maybe in pink AND green!
They are all lovely – but the pretty pink wrapped would be grand :)
So hard to choose because they look so good together, but since I have to make a decision, it would be the green, no the pink, no the green, okay the green.
Green! What a cute idea.
How cute! Love the green!
Oh my gosh, so pretty!! I would love either color, but pink is my favorite!!

Red’s my fav colour, but when I was pregnant w Daisy, I loved wearing green sweaters, T’s etc.
I thought maybe that would be her fav colour.
Turns out she loves purple.
But, I’m a convert. Green’s my new fav!
First in pink then again in green!!
Love them both! Awesome idea!
I LOVE the green!
Both look great to unwrap but i like the green more.

Would love to have the pink set! Very girlie girl :) I think it would be awesome to make my own wrapping paper..I think i would customize to each individual that im giving the present to by putting some of their favorite things on the wrapper. Just shows a little more thought was put into the gift! Thanks for sharing!
I love the green paper, great for wrapping gifts for both boys and girls!
So cute…pink!!
Cake pop tools are at the top of my wish list this year-and, green’s the best!!!
I like the pink one better! But both are adorable
I prefer the green one :)
I can’t decide so surprise me (that is if i do get picked)!
If I were to design my own wrapping paper it would probably look like a huge chocolate bar :)
If I had to choose…. I think the green! What an awesome idea, you just opened the door to so much creativity for this time of year. Thank you!

Hmmm..I tried posting once but I looked through the comments several times and didn’t see mine so I hope I’m not double posting. Anyways, I love them both. Pink is my favorite color but the green is adorable too and its a Christmas color so I really would be happy with either one.
PINK
I’m such a pink girly girl.
They are both adorable, but I think I like the green a smidge better.
Green, please!
I like the pink paper better!
Pink for sure, with two little girls, pink rules!
Green!!
Love it! I would choose pink! So creative :)
Adorable! Your comment about the stamps reminds me so much of myself! When I was little, I LOVED the Sanrio store–you know, the one that sold all the stationery, pencils, erasers and such emblazoned with Hello Kitty and her friends. But the problem was, I never wanted to USE any of it…it was just too cute! So I ended up with boxes and boxes of blank note paper and unused stickers. :)
Both colors are great, but I think I would go with pink!
I love them both, but to be more ‘generic’ I’d probably go with the green.
The pink really speaks to me!
How cute!! Love them both, but maybe the green is my favorite. Thanks for thinking of us too!!
Oh happy green!
