gift wrapping : : stamped paper

Rubber stamping is a good way to decorate paper for wrapping small gifts. Using a rubber stamp on large sheets of paper can get really tedious. Both of the above were wrapped in 8.5 X 11 paper. The ribbon is Ikea paper twine.

I got this set of plain geometric shape stamps in a children’s educational set.

You may have noticed I use this paper a lot.
I made up a bunch of sheets to sell at a local museum and they decided they didn’t want to use it (long story).  The stamp is made from a foam bath toy.

Above is a twenty year old gift wrapped for a kid’s birthday party. His name was Harry.

Same vintage as the above – this time teacher’s gifts. One of my favorite stamps is a circle offset inside an oval.
