authentique & twinery hop

If your visiting my blog via the hop.. thanks for stopping by! If you're coming by way of Goldicar Designs you're on the right track. If not, make sure you start at the beginning over at authentique paper blog and don't forget to check the bottom of the post for giveaway details..


This weekend cyra has plans to attend a birthday barty for two very special twin girls.. so we worked together to wrap some special gifts.


First we made some letter cut-outs using authentique paper's uncommon collection and hung them with twinery blossom twine. I laminated the letter cut-outs so they would last longer.. i think these would be sweet as tags for a backpack or lunchbox. Finally we taped them to the package using some pretty japanese washi tape. 


These twin girls are turning 5.. and I wanted to incorporate their age in the packaging.. so I wrapped the larger box with five strands of twinery blossom twine.. made mini flags using washi tape and finally used the petite type circle stickers also part of the authentique uncommon collection.  Each flag & strand representing a year of their life.


For the twig ornaments, I followed the traditional native american god's eye technique and used twigs with beautiful pink sorbet and lilac twinery twine. For a special touch.. cyra painted the twigs pink and purple before we wrapped the ornaments.. these would also make special holiday decorations..



Special gifts for some special friends, all wrapped with love.
