Author Notes: This gift wrap is easy to make with an oval paper shape cutter and Christmas rubber stamps. It makes a neat, flat package, perfect for easy mailing.

Supplies: brown craft paper
Christmas rubber stamps -- we used two by Creative Expressions, the Snowmen and the Christmas ornaments
red and green rubber stamping ink
4 oval paper cutouts -- one large double oval mat for the package embellishment and one smaller double oval mat for the gift tag (we used the Fiskar's Shape Cutter tool to cut our ovals)
a length of sheer ribbon (we used black ribbon for the package in the photo)
adhesives (we ran our paper elements through a Xyron machine)
tape
Instructions:

Step 1. Follow the directions at this link to make stamped gift wrap using a Christmas ornament stamp and red ink.

Step 2. Wrap the box in the stamped gift wrap paper. For detailed wrapping instructions, click here.

Step 3. Cut a length of sheer ribbon and secure it around the package, lengthwise. Secure the ends of the ribbon in back with tape or double sided tape.

Step 4. Cut four paper ovals -- a large and a small red oval and a large beige oval, and a very small green oval (we used Fiskars Shape Cutter with the oval template to make quick work of the task).

Step 5. Stamp the Snowmen image on the large beige oval paper piece.

Step 6. Use your adhesive of choice to mount the Snowmen image on the larger red oval.

Step 7. Use your adhesive of choice to mount the small green oval on the small red oval.

Step 8. Use your adhesive of choice to glue the two ovals to the ribbon and package front.
