Have you guys started getting ready for the holidays yet? For the last few years, I’ve waited until the last minute, but this year I’m trying to get ahead of the game and wrap some gifts that I already know I’ll be giving.
My Holidays book is a good way to start. And I wanted to wrap them in a cute, quick and totally customizable way. So I’m working with Zazzle.com to create fun, custom cards and packaging. You can upload your own photographs or artwork to their site to make endless types of unique gifts from shirts and phone cases to lunch boxes and lamps. Lots of stuff.
I stayed with paper products though and made something special for the holidays. I used some of my photographs from the book to create illustrated versions of my cake pops, so the whole gift could be one cute coordinating package.
I started with cards, but soon stumbled onto stamps!
Ack! Have you ever made your own stamps? This is such a cool extra touch that makes mailing something more special.
The only problem is they are so cute I don’t know if I can stand to send them away. I think I’m going to just have to order more to keep for myself.
I also made these sweet stickers in pink and green… because, as usual I couldn’t decide on just one color to stick with.
But let me show you my favorite new thing to make.
Wrapping Paper!!!!
Yes, rolled wrapping paper. You can get so creative with this for special occasions. Birthdays, anniversaries, the holidays, of course. I can’t wait to make more.
Okay, let’s get wrapping!
Oh yeah, I’m popping a few sticks inside the box with my book, so I relabeled them to match the packaging.
Wrap in tissue, stuff with some coordinating paper filler and then seal with a sticker.
Add a coordinating bow and it’s wrapped and ready!
Yay! One present down.
And here’s a few more. Pink wrapping paper for these adorable little Frosty Friends Mini Kits.
I’m thinking stocking stuffers.
Now, who should I send some to?
I thought I’d give away three gift sets if you’d want to get ahead of the game this holiday too and let me wrap a present for you.

They are both cute but I would choose pink!
How adorable! I like both, but I think I prefer the pink.
Green! So Cute :)
I know green is a typical Christmas color – but who could resist that pink. PINK. PINK. PINK
please.
Green! I love Green :)
I would love to have the pink! It’s so adorable! :)
What is more perfect than give away cake pops for the holidays!! Definitely I choose the GREEN wrapping paper since it is the holiday season and also because the little cake pops details already show the bakerella style!
I would love either one. I would love to design a North Pole exclusive type wrapping paper, something that was property of the North Pole so you know it came from the big guy himself.
I love pink! The wrapping paper is super cute, i’m going to have to chek it out and create some!
My forever-loving Pink girl is now into Green. So green is my choice.
How did you make wrapping paper? That’s so cool! I love the green. But I’m a sucker for traditional Christmas colors.
I like the pink paper best and love the idea of designing your own wrapping paper!! So stinkin’ cute!!
Love them both, but loving the pink a little bit more! Thanks for having this giveaway! :)
Love them both! I think I would let you surprise me. :-)
Green!!! Really cute wrapping…
So cute I can’t believe it! Pink for me!
Green all the way! It’s both of my daughters’ favorite colors!
Love the Pink and all of the coordinating other items that can be made on Zazzle, thank you for sharing the fun!
Green. I would like to make wrapping paper with origami figures on it.
Pink for my new baby girl!
love the green. You are so creative!! Great marketing!
Love the pink! Thanks for the giveaway!
I love the pink!!!! (I´m not from USA so I hope I can enter the contest) :D
I love them both – but if I was able to customize my own paper, I’d pick something with the Mandelbrot set on it.
Seriously. Google it. You’ll want it too.
So adorable!! I love it! Green is my very favorite color, so I would have to pick it, but pink is my second favorite! I love those two put together! What a fun give away! I might just have to start always making my own wrapping paper!
PINK, PINK, PINK…. I have a 5 year old Pink Princess who would just scream with delight!!!!!
How neat !! Always something great on your website!
I like both – although partial to the green..
Custom wrapping paper – how awesome !
at our house it would have to be green. Because, that is the color of alligators. I wonder how it would work to make alligator cake pops? my grandson is obsessed at the moment!
That wrapping paper is the best! I love both, but I’ll go for green!
Love the green!
Green Please!
green is so bright & cute looking…
I have to choose???? They are both soooo cute!! Green goes better with Christmas but pink is my favorite color. I think pink. I should make some wrapping paper using my oil paintings!! Great idea!!! Thank you!!!!!!!

I think I prefer the pink one but the green one is beautiful too!
Green or Pink with a Silver Bow:)

Ooh, it’s such a tough call, they are both so pretty! I think I have to go with green.
Pink please :)

I love both the pink and the green and the stamps! I think I would like a general cake pop wrapping paper for all occasions not just Christmas!
I am a big fan of pink, but would love any color you generously send. Thank you dear, and I hope you are feeling well!
I am loving the pink wrap! I am so jealous at your creative abilities… Love,love, love it!

They are both adorable, but nothing’s better then pink and Christmas!!
Both are adorable but I prefer pink!
