Hi everyone! Ashley Haake (@magmagandme) here today sharing this sweet, little gift I created using the beautiful Succulent Stamp Set. 

I don't know if it's just my circle - but we are currently obsessed with having themed parties for EVERYTHING. Your baby's coming, let's dress up like zoo keepers. Your son is turning two, aye matey let's board this ship and party. You got a new hair cut, lets play dress up and go out. I took white, 32# paper (thicker than copy paper and buttery smooth) for the "wrapping paper" and stamped it, using all the combinations of the adorable succulents and their jars/vases. Then I made a tiny card to match. I decided to do something different/funny with it since I talk about my friend being unique inside. Can you spot it? Here's a hint - she's left handed. :) Okay that is just an excuse to get dolled up. But this week a girlfriend is starting a new job - so I wanted to make my wrapping paper match the theme of embracing where life takes you and bloom!  The Succulent Stamp Set had just the right sentiment and stamps fro the project. I thought about just making a card to fit - but why not take it one step further?!

Making your own wrapping paper is easy one way to add that personal touch. Helps if you gift is small too! :)  What is one way that you use your stamps in a different way? I hope you feel inspired to get out those stamps and use them in a non-traditional way.

The possibilities are endless with this succulent set - get yours HERE.
