This year I decided that Christmas was going to be glam meets nature. I don't know why, but I've been loving bright ass magenta lately. I have always been a secret fan of hot pink, but I thought it would be fun to do for the holidays.
I think the sputnik is to blame. We will see if I get it all done. I'm kind of famous in my own mind for having a ton of plans of what I'm going to do and getting everything wrapped and decorated right before Christmas. I love wrapping gifts, but it would be better if I got to enjoy the wrapping a bit longer.
I already bought the hen feathers from this seller on etsy. I love them. She let's you say exactly what you want and they got here super quick. I made some stamps, but I have to go out and get a gold stamp pad. I bought a light color craft style paper from Ikea early in the season because believe it or not I ran out of paper last year. It felt like a grand accomplishment.

I have some I-<3-the-80s hot pink gaffer's tape I use for everything in the studio, and it's the BOMB. You can order it from Dick Blick online!
ReplyDeleteI totally want to hoard those guinea hen feathers, too! LOVE.

ReplyDeletewoah, loving this. big time. I've been stamping a little copper on kraft (as you may know) and I just love metallic on natural. big time. feathers don't hurt either!
ReplyDeleteI always love your wrapping inspiration Desi.I won't have many boxes to wrap this year b/c I'm giving mostly jars....maybe I'll just wrap empty boxes for fun!
ReplyDeleteThat hot pink tagging ribbon is hanging on my wall right now. I'll send you a photo.
Those feathers are killer. Can you wrap all my gifts for me?
