Kraft Wrapping Paper

Instructions:
1. Wrap gift in kraft wrapping paper. Using Glue Arts High Tac adhesive, attach a paper doily to the center of the gift box. Then adhere a belly band of patterned paper around the box. Affix a glassine bag over the belly band.
2. Cut a length of ribbon that will wrap around the box, leaving enough extra ribbon to tie into a big bow. To give the ribbon a soft wash of color, drag both sides across the Pearlescent Yellow ink pad. Repeat the process until you achieve the desired wash of color. 
3. Tie ribbon around the box. 
4. Stamp a large sentiment onto a manila tag using the Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Edge the tag with Pearlescent Orchid ink and tuck tag into the glassine bag.

5. Die cut butterflies from patterned paper and stamp matching images using the Tuxedo Black ink. Apply Pearlescent Yellow ink to the butterflies using a q-tip. Attach butterflies to the gift box using Glue Arts U Cut It Foam adhesive. 


6. To create the flower for the bow, punch 2 large and 3 small flowers from patterned paper. Scrunch each flower into a tight ball and then smooth flat. Drag the Pearlescent Orchid ink pad across each flower. Layer the flower punches together from largest to smallest using Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares. Top with a button. Color two pieces of hang tag string with the Pearlescent Orchid ink pad in the same way we did the yellow ribbon. Tie into a bow and adhere pink bow and flower to the box.
