I confess to being very organised - my DH says I scare people with my organisation! LOL Anyway, that is how I am and I hate to do anything last minute.
So I can tell you that my Christmas shopping is all done. :) Yay! I will just be hanging decorations and baking during December - no trailing around the shops for me.
Now there is a reason I am telling you all this - and it is to do with today's project. I always wonder what to do with all the brown paper - reams and reams of the stuff - that arrives safely packing my Stampin' Up! deliveries. It usually goes in the paper recyling bin - but I decided to try a bit of re-purposing and use it for my Christmas wrapping.
I had already made my Christmas tags, (I know scary organising again!), so I stamped the paper in matching Elegant Eggplant ink using the Serene Snowflakes stamps.
The paper is quite crumpled as you can see - but I think it gives a Shabby Chic wrapping effect that I like. So what do you do with your Stampin' Up! packing paper?
Now that is a great use of the packing stuff. I like the purple stamped snowflake on it. Thanks for sharing this fun idea
ReplyDeleteLove it, glad I am not the only one who gets all the presents done by Thanksgiving. I like to keep December open for fun stuff :)
ReplyDeleteexcellent! You get a virtual star for being green. Love it.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's a great idea! I always end up with tons of that stuff!
ReplyDeleteI haven't even thought about Christmas shopping yet.... I'm honestly not in the mood to "do" Christmas this year after losing my Mom in September. You totally impress me, though!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE the idea for all of your packing paper wrapping paper!!!
Great job!! Love that idea for your Christmas wrap too. I am a little over half way done with my shopping. I try and have it done by Thanksgiving and then the holidays are more enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, you are amazing! Kudos to you for already finishing up your holiday shopping. I am SO jealous! This is a wonderful idea to reuse that packing material. I just got an order the other day, now I'm going to rescue that paper from the recycle bin! Haha! TFS! :)
