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.

The green is a great color. Especially for the holidays!
That wrapping paper is the cutest thing I have ever seen! I prefer the green as I feel it is slightly more festive even though the pink wrapping paper has a certain Cindy Lou Who vibe from the Grinch Who Stole Christmas! I would love to make wrapping paper with my own Christmas cookie illustrations.
That green wrap it too cute!
Gotta say I love the pink more!

Adorable!!! Thanks for introducing me to Zazzle and your new kit. :-) This is the year my sibs have all decided not to exchange gifts anymore. Well, that can’t stop me from making delicious treats, right. And those Frosty Friends look perfect. Thanks Bakerella!
Oh, almost forgot. Green. Lovely, lovely green. :-)
I would combine them into a pink & green candy stripe. I just love the two together! Luv Zazzle btw & I’ve actually been on Zazzle’s site playing around with making my own wrapping paper. If I could afford it, I would wrap all my family’s gifts with pictures of their childhood Christmas’. I’m hoping to do this for next year. ;)
I love the green. It looks festivefor the holidays,
I am a pink everything kinda girl!!! Pink for me please!!

I’m not a pink person, so I’d open the green one first :)
Both are adorable. I can’t choose. I didn’t know you could easily make your own wrapping paper. Being a novice photographer, I would choose one of my favorite photos.
