Designer: Kelly Purkey

What's better than an idea for hand crafted giftwrap? How about two! First dress up your gifts in bright flowers!  By using stamps and ink you can customize your paper to coordinate a handmade flower gift topper.  A coordinating card adds to a present that you’ll be happy to give or receive. Next add a little edge to your gifts with the Ink line of products.  These are the perfect accessories for personalizing a gift bag and card for a teenager or the rockstar in your life.
