It's a Wrap!
Love being able to make my own wrapping paper with my hand carved stamps. I think I've loved wrapping presents since I was a teen. I have to thank my mom for that. She always took as much care on the wrapping as she did finding the perfect gift for us growing up.

lovely!!! where can I find those rubber stamps??
@Las Cholas: I hand carved those myself :-)
Love this! Especially since it's handmade - with your beautiful birds. Your gift is even more special. Where do you find the paper you used? Thanks!!
that looks amazing, you could give cath kidston a run for her money as I'd buy your stuff any day :)
@Bubbles: You are too kind! :-)
@GrayFlannel: Thanks! It's just regular kraft paper.
Amazing! I'm even more impressed than I already was. I wouldn't have guessed it was kraft paper. Thanks for answering :)
a very creative idea !! i like it !!
Great wrapping paper.. I love it!.. and I love your work :-)
Love this! I'm absolutely inspired to try out that block and carving tool that I've been afraid of - btw, why do we do this? Makes no sense. You've given me the nudge I need.
The gift wrapping paper is sóóóó lovely : YOU're the best !!!!!
So nice - I also love the ribbon.
Amazingly special and beautiful...
No, you're the best!!!
What a lovely wrapping paper! so whimsical and cute.
wow!
How lovely, what do you make the stamps out of?
Love this! I stamp caft paper to wrap gifts in... but I adore your hand carved stamps!
I do this! But not with my own beautiful hand carved stamps!
Have not tried carving my own stamp yet, but I did bookmark a tutorial on how to do it. Seeing your fabulous wrapping paper makes me want to do it sooner, rather than later!
So beautiful. I wouldn't even think to open it to see what's inside. I'd be happy to just have that gift wrapped parcel displayed as it is.
I thought you'd had some printed. Gorgeous. i have such a soft spot for wrwpping paper. I buy it, but then ai don't want to use it as ai love it so much. I love the simplicity of the black ink on the craft paper. Actually I love stamping on craft paper; there is something about it which is so appealing.
This is so beautiful!
From the first picture I thought it was some new commercial wrapping paper of yours (should be). It's beautiful!
Love, love, love this! I also love the ribbon! Is it something you decorated too?
ah I LOVE this! You are so creative! <3
Toooo cute! Love the black striped ribbon also. The recipient is a very lucky person.
its fantastic!!! I wish to lern how to.. but I think that in Argentina, where I live, I will not find that kind of rubber to make them..
Beautiful paper! I've doing that for years, but mostly with carved potatoes, nothing fancy like that! I've ordered your book, can't wait to have it in my hand. Thanks a lot for one of the nicest blog on the net!!
Looks SO pretty! :-)
The beauty in your creations amazes me...
Your painting reports are nice.We want more paintings from your post.Thanks for this beautiful paintings to us.

Even if there were nothing inside, the gift would be awesome to get! Who pays attentions to gifts anymore? Beautiful...
it must be so special to receive a gift wrapped in hand-stamped paper <3
This is lovely. It's so nice to make handmade wrapping paper, it makes a gift so much more personal. The bird stamps are really beautiful, you must use really fine tools to cut out the design, are they lino cutting tools or do you use something else? I've been looking for finer tools to do more delicate work.
Just one word...fabulous! Love it!
I've been reading and being inspired by your blog for a long time. Your work is so special. If those stamps were in the shop here I would get every single one of them. Amazing work.
Qué belleza!♥
Truly lovely. I have always loved a well wrapped gift. I take special care as did your Mother and Mine to make the outside as personal as the inside. Your art is inspiring!
Your papers are exquisite. Oh to be so lucky to receivectualim 36
a gift wrapped like this.
It's absolutely beautiful and extra special as it's uniquely yours! :)

his is wonderful aand so unique. May I ask what type of paper you have used ... I always find it hard to choose when making my own wrapping paper. many thanks and have a lovely weekend, Petra.
@Rosie: I use the No1 cutter of my lino cutting tool for all the detailed work.
@PetraB: It's just regular kraft paper.
Thank you so much for your kind comments friends!
WOW! Geninne! Phantastic!!!! Wonderfull! Gorgeous !
I LOVE IT!!!!!
que bonito quedó.
What beautiful wrapping paper with all your birds! They look just as good in black and white as they do in color.
Gorgeous!!! You should market this paper like your cards. People buy nice wrapping paper by the sheet. I would do it with the black on brown kraft paper.
Oh Geninne , this is lovely! Such a great and beautiful idea! Thanks for sharing! Abraços
Oh wow, I would not want to open that gorgeous package!
With such a wrapping paper, i think no matter the gift i would be happy with anything as long as i can keep the paper... and even frame it properly as it desserves it !
exquisite!
Sonia, last year I went to buy the staedtler mastercarve block but I was told they do not make them anymore. Is this true? I hope not :( If not, do you order them and through what company? I am based out of Ontario, Canada if this helps. Thank you!!
Justine
Wow!! it was really great about wrapping design,We hope you people will more good wrap to us.Thanks for sharing this wonderful wrap.

And where can I get some of that wrapping paper? You really should develop a wrapping paper line, if you haven't already... pretty please? = )
I really LOVE your hand carved bird stamps! Especially this hand stamped paper is amazing.
I guess you will find the Tack'n peel (http://www.tsukineko.com/new2.php) useful for the thin open-wings bird.
(I'm not a seller, I swear : )
spectacular wrapping paper! You inspire me to carve some stamps! I too consider present wrapping an art form. Each one must be individual and give a delicious hint as to the wonders wrapped within.
I bought my kraft paper, my carving kit is being shipped, your book is on my wishlist and I'm just waiting for it to be released. I can't wait to see what projects you have for us inside!!
I JUST GOT YOUR BOOK IN THE MAIL!! Yay! Can't wait to sit and read through I'm so excited. I adore your work, just love, love, love it.
So gorgeous! I am so inspired by your work.
BIRDS... birds... I love you....
Thanks a lot for all those lovely things..
