TGIF – Darling Wraps with Dawn

1.8K

Hi, Friends!  It’s Dawn here and it’s my turn to share for TGIF!  Today, I want to show you how you can use the most recent All That Glitters collection for Fall and Winter birthdays, too!  These items are not just for Christmas use!

I love that you can literally just wrap your gifts in plain brown paper and then dress them to the nines, by adding some pretty ribbon, piling on the die cuts and finishing with some darling custom gift tags!

I used the new Botanicuts Pinecone dies and tucked some of the new Large Leaves: Magnolia die cuts behind them.

PRO TIP: Add some additional interest and fun detail simply with some glue and glitter!! I followed the lines on the leaves with liquid glue — one side only! It’s more interesting that way! — and then sprinkled on some of my old favorite, Martha Stewart glitter! As for the pinecones, I just hit the tips with glitter and fluffed everything forward. Same with the leaves….be sure to put a little bend and movement in them!

For the tags, I used a pair of the Four Square tags and stamped them with the companion stamp set. I just jotted a little note on the second tag. And then I added one of the new large die cut Tassels on top!

PRO TIP: I’m a firm believer that multiple tags are just more fun! They have more movement and a bit of an interactive quality to them, since you have to move one to see the next. Always more fun, in my humble opinion!

For the second package, I used the new Magnolia Bloom die and the Large Leaves: Magnolia die, as well as more Four Square Tags and another tassel!

I love that the packages are different but totally coordinated!

PRO TIP: For a really striking center, drag glue from the center/base of the stamen out onto the petals and then top with glitter!  It’s sooo pretty in real life!  Also note that I used three of those stamen dies, folded and glued together, to give it a more 3-D feel!

I hope I’ve given you a bit of inspiration for how you can use a lot of the All That Glitters collection for year-round projects! 

Thanks for stopping by!
