Kraft Paper Wrapping

I needed to wrap a CD to give as a gift. Rather than tissue paper and a bag {which I love to use....60 seconds and you are good to go!} I felt a little more creative today. It is my sister's birthday so I wanted the wrapping to be special. I used kraft paper, rub-ons {sister and crown ~ the crown was left over from my Dollar Store Princess frame}, some ephemera that was all packaged together and on clearance from Michael's {the dog is exactly like a stuffed one she had as a toddler}, a cupcake rubber stamp in pink {of course}, and a ribbon that said blessings {left over from a frame I did for my youngest when he was born.

The kraft paper is much heavier than regular wrapping paper so I wanted to plan my layout in advance noting where the CD would be and then just pressing the shape into the paper {I hope that makes sense}.

I placed my decorations in the area that would be the top/front of the wrap, used some scrapbook glue to hold it in place, sewed on some of the paper decor and rubbed on the others and that was it!
