Not much to say on this one. A nice business card paired with and interesting product. In this case, doing as little as possible to cover up the product ends up showing of the sellers work best.

From the person who wrapped this:
“The paper is an Italian Florentine Print called Arabella. The white base is beautifully patterned in an array of bright colors exquisitely enhanced with metallic gold. Layers of gold and blue ribbon … satins and sheers … added texture, structure and an elegant bow…
I think this paper looks incredibly sophisticated, elegant and expensive, but it actually cost me only $3.80 for a 27” x 39” sheet. After wrapping this gift, I still have enough paper to wrap a couple of CDs. Cool!
And the ribbon? I buy rolls when they’re on sale, so this was already on hand. If you plan it right, you can give a gift that looks like a million bucks even though it’s actually quite affordable.”

Another great use of seals. I would use gold foil though and use an embosser, it would really make the label stand out.

This seller used a metal letter stamp set with clay. As you can see the result looks classy, and expensive, but it was probably very easy to make up a ton of these at once. Get some clay from your local art or crafts shop, and make some of these in any shape you like. Sticking to one color may be best if you’re going for minimalist and classy design, as well as being a timesaver. If you feel creative though, by all means try something different.
As always, If you try something you see on this tumblr, please let us know or send us a picture, we’d love to see it (mention your shop as well if you have one, so we can share it with our readers!)

Very simple, but effective packaging
This etsy user makes her own handmade wrapping paper. If you want to add a personalized touch, you can easily do this. Just make your stamp once and buy an ink pad, and your set to go. Or, even better, make a few different stamps and pattern them on the paper, with a few different colors. In this example, maybe some orange and green stamps would liven up the background
