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.
Enter for a chance to win one of three (3) Cake Pops Gift Sets that includes a signed Cake Pops Holidays Book with lollipop sticks and a Frosty Friends Mini Kit all wrapped in cute custom paper.

Definitely pink. What cute products!
I’d love pink! I am the only girl in my house, and sometimes I need some pink!
Love your items, green is my choice of paper goods. Once I saw you on Martha Stewart gave me the inspiration to make some cakepops. Made for Christmas dinner, everyone LOVED them and requested to make for each year. Keep inspiring me and others. I would love a copy of your Holiday” book.
I would LOVE green!!!!
Oh no! I am comment #1,273,475! I KNEW you were popular, but this is crazy. Really, I am only 1,600 or something, but not for long.

Pink!
I like the green. Both are sweet.
Too cute! I would prefer the green paper please!
Wonderful job. I like pink.
oooh! PINK! ‘Cause as much as pink is NOT my favourite (and I know that, as much as i love them, I will probably never make any cake pops), my best friend, Polly, loves pink and she and her beautiful baking daughters would make some FOR me!!
Blessed are the wonderful friend’s, Mama’s and sister’s who feed the cooking-challenged, hooray!!
I would love a green wrapped one!
CUTE!
Both are cute but I like the pink best.

That’s a hard decision! I love both! Maybe someday I’ll make dancer gift wrap.
Thank you for sharing such awesome ideas with all of us. It makes me smile. Pink would be great!
I love both of them! They are equally cute! If i could make wrapping paper I would create to feature a cute little turtle I drew in illustrator. Add a Santa hat for Christmas or a party hat for Birthdays :D
Green please! Thanks:)
Green, Thank You!

Both colors are adorable, but I think the green is just that extra level of precious. :)
Green is my choice!

Their both so cute! I think I’d have to go with the green though.
If I was lucky enough to be chosen I would choose green – it is such a festive colour.
I would love to make a paper with a picture of my children on, although I don’t think I would be able to bear to throw it away after it had been unwrapped!
Love the blog x

They’re both cute but I’d go with the pink!

I love the green (and the pink) — but green is so sweet! I love that everything matches, but what else would we expect from you! I found your blog years ago, have followed your success, your health scares, your book release and now … all this too! Congrats and thanks for making pop cakes so wonderful
Pink please!!!
Love the green and more importantly, so would my sister!!
I would love the pink but the green is great also. How do I chose? Okey, Pink, Thanks.
Hi! I must say that this is the cutest wrapping stuff thst I’ve ever seen, considering myself obsessed with all that kinds of gift wrapping stuff. You really never fail to surprise me, your creativity is endless. Congratulations, another point scored. Now on the contest, my favorite is everything pink. PS. I love that your contests are entirely based on luck and not on number of likes or having to like a number of pages or adding extra social networks or so.
This is so cool! LOVE LOVE LOVE the pink set!
hi, green please! happy holidays.
This is such a fun idea! The green one is perfect for Christmas.
Love both! But pink is my fave!
green is pretty adorable
With two girls, I love the PINK!!! Thank you thank you!!
I love the green, Merry Christmas and Happy Thanksgiving!
Green! So adorable…
Absolutely Love Zazzle! They are so cool! And the green is adorbs!!
The green is so perfectly festive!
Usually Pink is my favourite colour. But for Christmas the Green is great too.
Oh by the way you are right in that the postage stamps are too cute to send!!
Pink please!
Pretty in pink!!!!
Pink pink pink!
Ohhh. I love them both! I have to go with Pink though – not enough girly in my house! I love the idea of making my own wrapping paper – I might have to make some Minions, from Despicable Me – is that allowed? I just made fabric at Spoonflower with Minions to make bandanas for all my furry friends. They would be adorable in matching wrapping paper!
Id pick the green!
Green…..although teal would be nice too! (I’m an ovarian cancer survivor….teal is the color!)
Green!
these gift sets are adorable! i love the green. thanks for the giveaway! xo
Well, this is a tough one, but I think I would have to go with Pink! Otherwise, I would absolutely LOVE to make my own wrapping paper. I think I would put pigs on one, pugs (the dogs) and dachshunds on another, and Donald Duck on the third (If I could without any legal issues). I always have trouble finding Boy/Guy paper, so I would probably also do power tools!
Ooooh, I love the green paper. Thanks for all your creativity!
Pink! Because I’m a mom with 3 boys, and a husband, and a dog that’s a boy, and I’m regularly suffering from testosterone poisoning! Thanks for a chance to win!!!
I like the green, such cute wrapping paper!
In honor of my newest nephew, I’m going to choose GREEN! These are so fun, I love the holidays!!!
They are both adorable, but I’d have to go for the green!
PINK!
I love pink, but green looks so cute for the holiday season.
Oh, I love me some pink wrapping paper!
Green for sure!
Pink!!!
Cute!!! I like the pink.

So cute! Pink, Please!
OMG! I love this post. I’m really drawn to the pink paper. There is so much eye candy here it just makes me giddy. The stamps are a REALLY cute idea.
Adorable, I would go with pink because it is my favorite color!
Your ideas are always too cute! I like the green paper the best.
They are both very cute…pink or green! I would love either one. If I made my own paper… I would use pictures of candy- like snickers, gummy bears, m&ms, etc.
Too cute!
Green! Love it! That’s so amazing you can make your own stamps and wrapping paper. Gotta check it out.
So adorable. I love them both and I think I have to have the pink! Love your talent!
Pink, of course!!
Both colors are lovely, but I’d go with green because it’s my favorite color!
Oh gosh that green paper is fantastic!
So creative and fun! I would totally have to go with pink!

Normally I’d choose green in anything, but the pink paper is just too cute! I choose pink.
Green! It’s both my favorite color and reminds me more of Christmas (my absolute favorite holiday)!
And you are absolutely right… If I got the stamps, I might not be able to mail them out!
Love those stamps and the pink wrapping paper! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and holiday season!
Pink please since it will be for my sweet niece!!
Love it!
