Christmas Card and Gift Wrap Ideas with Bella Blvd

Hey there! I hope you all had a nice weekend and you're enjoying the holiday season. Today, I'm sharing my latest Bella Blvd Design Team Project that was inspired by ... Christmas gifts! I was thinking of all the different ways we wrap items, so I came up with a few fun ideas using the cute Fa La La Collection (links below).

 

Let's start with the Christmas card. I love giving handmade cards and this one is easy and so much fun. It's like decorating a cupcake with lots of sprinkles on top! A card is the perfect spot for paper gifts, like ... event tickets, recipes, photos, pressed flowers, bookmarks, gift cards, and cash.

To make it, I cut out a piece of 5x7 inch white cardstock and layered the red Deck the Halls print & the green Daily Details gingham on top. Then, I cut out a white 4" circle for all the super cute stickers. My favorite!

I began with the larger epoxy pieces from the Wonderland set. The "merry" and the "25" are from the Christmas Words set from the Bella Blvd, Santa Squad Collection. Then, I simply filled in with some matte enamel dots and shapes from the Hearts / Stars Christmas Mixes (links below).

 

To complete the front of my card, I added a tree from the Wreath Cut-Outs (Santa Squad Collection). I backed the shape with the green holly Candy Striper print and the red floral Deck the Halls print, then popped it up with foam tape for a little dimension. I added the pink Fa La La die cut from the ephemera, and ... ta daaaaaa!! What a cute card. 💕

 

Now for the reindeer gift bag. I used a cutting file by Lori Whitlock called Bag with Window (link below). This is a really useful file that I've used for lots of other occasions. Just change the paper and use it for any holiday, birthday, gift, or party favor!

 

To make it, I enlarged the file so that it took up most of the 12x12 red Dear Santa paper. I cut and glued it together ... then, added a small piece of acetate behind the window, some colorful epoxy stars, the reindeer ephemera piece, and a red gem nose. Perfect! Rudolph looks adorable and ready for gift giving.

 

Last, but not least is the mason jar. It could hold ANY type of gift, like ... sweet treats, nuts, jewelry, small toys, recipes, spices, cute socks, a tie, etc. I added popcorn & trail mix to mine.

 

To create this, I wrapped my jar with the blue Christmas Village paper, the red & white striped Doohickey border sticker, red adhesive scallop ribbon from MayArts, and some twine. Then, I added the circular Doohickey sticker on the front.

 

To embellish the top of the lid, I added the cute little "Snow In Love" Bella-pops snowman. I'm "snow in love" with him! The tree covered die-cut tag is from the ephemera package and it was the perfect size to hang off the side for a special handwritten note.

Thanks for visiting the blog and I hope you're inspired with these fun gift wrap ideas. Enjoy the season and happy crafting!
