How to Pretty Up a Package

These days I find myself celebrating a lot of milestone birthdays for friends and family.

For these special birthdays, I like to present a pretty package.

Now, one of my "very serious" faults is that I cannot wrap a package for the life of me.

I try...but my corners are never right, there is tape everywhere - you get the picture, right?

So I have taken to embellishing and creating fun ways to pretty up and personalize packages (to divert attention from my other wrapping faults)! 

Using  my Lifestyle Crafts Dies and Evolution Die Cutter, plus some fun chevron washi tape and miniature pom poms...and anything else I can think of, it is easy to create pretty packages for those special people in your life.
