Metallic Pen Gift Wrap

This hand-drawn gift wrap idea by Kate from Mini-eco has been popping up all over Pinterest lately, and every time I see it I smile because:

1) it looks like a really fun project … and easy, too!

2) it’s such a clean and modern look

3) as Kate from Mini-eco says, this gift wrap is “un-squashable” (always a plus if you have to ship a lot of your holiday gifts)

4) metallic pens and markers are making a comeback, which makes me so happy because I loved my stash of metallic pens when I was a kid. Does anyone else remember the metallic pens with an underlying color that outlined the metallic line when you wrote with it? I had a silver one with purple, and I loved that thing!

Have a great weekend, everyone, and to all of you who celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday, hope it was a great one.

Holiday Paper Goods Deals

Have you checked out Paper Goods Sales, Deals, and Events lately? I’ve been gathering some pretty sweet sales and events that are happening right now (or will be starting soon) in the world of paper goods, including a Black Friday/Cyber Monday event in the Wiley Valentine shop, a Cyber Monday sale at Smock that benefits Earthworks, and a secret deal for Paper Crave readers on the new Silhouette Cameo. You can find all of the details on these and many more specials right here.

If you’re a purveyor of paper goods who has a sale, deal, or event that you’d like me to share, please email me so I can add it to the list!

Happy Thanksgiving

I’m just about ready to sign off for the Thanksgiving holiday, but before I do I want to wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving. May your day be filled with much fun and tasty food, and if you’re one of the millions who will be traveling over the holiday weekend, safe travels to you.

A new Weekly Wrap will be posted on Friday, and I’ll be back next week to wrap up my holiday calendar features and to share many more holiday cards and some gift ideas, too. Have a wonderful holiday, a great weekend, and I’ll see you back here on Monday!

P.S. If you’re looking for some last minute decorations to add a little pizzazz to your Thanksgiving table, check out these printable place cards from The Paper Nut.
