White Paper Packages Tied Up in Bling

You know how they say "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?" Yeah, well thats all crap. Imitation is the sincerest form of being unoriginal. But originality doesnt really matter when youre copying something thats pretty. It just...doesnt.
Take for instance the beautiful Christmas paper you see above/below. A few months ago, I found this artwork (which, incidentally, is a copy of some Kate Spade dishes), and decided to make my own Christmas wrapping paper in its form. Because, its like I always say: "whats on the inside counts, but its whats on the outside that MATTERS." (Its true for people and presents.)
So, armed with my one-dimensional vanity and a zest for Christmas rivaled only by the Target lady, I got to work on the project. The whole thing was pretty easy, save for the part where I had to cut out my own "stickers," but just like beauty, Christmas is pain.
Youll Need:
- White wrapping paper (I bought four rolls because they were fairly small--from Papyrus)
- Decorative paper (gold glitter, gold metallic, white glitter--all from A.C. Moore)
- Scrapbook circle punch
- Glue dots
- Your imagination
- An appreciation for beauty
Its pretty simple, really. Just cut out a punch of dots, put the glue dots on the back, and then place wherever you like on your wrapped gift.
I did an overlay scale design on this one, which was clearly my favorite.
I did a heavy concentration in the upper corner on this one, and let it disippate across the package.
