Hey friends....it's Michelle back with a new project for Crafty Meraki and this week it is all about the gifts! Have you ever needed some gift wrapping paper, but didn't have enough? I'm going to show you how you can make your own fabulous paper using few supplies any crafter or cardmaker will have. Let's get to it, shall we!
I wanted to create my own wrapping paper to make my box, so I went through my 12x12 papers and found an ombré sheet that would be perfect. It was going to be for a birthday, I got out my Birthday Balloons Stencil, an embossing ink pad, an ink blending foam tool (reserved only for embossing ink!) and clear embossing powder. I started by placing my stencil flush against the bottom left corner of the paper and started pouncing on the embossing ink, using the foam tool. I removed the stencil and sprinkled on the clear powder. I heat set that and then moved the stencil to the right. To ensure a seamless look to it, I made sure to place the last line of balloons on the stencil over the last line of heat embossed balloons. I continued pouncing on the embossing ink and then the clear powder over the entire 12x12 surface until it was all covered in shiny balloons. See how it appears that the paper was printed covered in balloons!?!
Next I got out a box making punchboard I've had for years from Stampin Up! and made it using that, so unfortunately I do not have the dimensions of where I punched it and scored the paper. Just be sure to score it at exactly the same spot on each side or it may get a bit lopsided or wonky when you fold it up (as mind did lol).
I secured the corners by adding some strong double sided tape to the insides of them, added a coordinating ribbon to it and the happy birthday sentiment from the Gilded Greetings EAP and added it using some foam tape.
And that's it! It is so easy to make your own 12x12 wrapping paper using a stencil and the end result makes it seem like it was like that all along!
Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope that I have helped to inspire you in some small way. I wish you all the most wonderful and crafty day and until next time, Michelle :)

I have been suffering from a deadly disease (Hsv) for the past 2 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how Dr Oyagu helped someone in curing his (Hsv) herpes disease, quickly I copied his email which is oyaguherbalhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on oyaguherbalhome@gmail.com visit his website https://oyaguspellcaster.wixsite.com/oyaguherbalhome Or WhatsApp him via +2348101755322

In just three days, this fraudster wiped out my Ethereum—$81,000 gone in seconds. It began harmlessly: a DM from a self-styled “crypto trading expert” in an investment chat. His profile looked legit, full of screenshots showing unbelievable gains and raving testimonials. He pitched a guaranteed 60% return in 7 days. I was suspicious at first, but his confidence rubbed off. He used technical jargon, name-checked bogus trading platforms, and even sent a forged contract that seemed real. Against my better judgment, I moved my Ethereum into his wallet. For three nerve-wracking days, I kept refreshing my balance, waiting for the promised profit. Instead, I got radio silence, then demands. First came a “blockchain verification fee,” then a “liquidity tax” supposedly needed to release my funds. Each time, he pressured me: “Pay now, or your investment is frozen forever.” Fear clouded my thinking, and I sent more money, sinking deeper into the trap. By the time I understood it was all a lie, the scammer had disappeared with my life savings. I felt devastated and ashamed, and didn’t tell anyone for weeks. When I finally told a friend, he urged me to contact Certified Recovery Services, a firm that handles crypto fraud. I reached out and they answered right away. The team traced my stolen Ethereum through multiple wallets, followed the scammer’s trail, coordinated with exchanges to freeze the assets, and used legal channels to recover every cent. Within weeks, my money was back in my wallet. If you’re scammed, act fast—immediate action gives you the best shot at recovery. Thanks to METATECH RECOVERY PRO, I didn’t just get my funds back; I got my peace of mind. If you’ve been targeted, don’t stay quiet—contact METATECH RECOVERY PRO via.

My girlfriend ended our relationship for seemingly no reason and I came to understand that my financial struggles may have contributed to this, as a healthy relationship is difficult without money. For spellcasting, Lord Meduza is the right person to turn to. My girlfriend left me for another man due to my financial situation, but after connecting with Lord Meduza, he created a spell that not only brought my girlfriend back but also made me a lottery winner of €116 million by providing me with the 6 lucky numbers to play the lottery. My life is incredibly beautiful and I owe my deepest appreciation to Lord Meduza I strongly encourage everyone to reach him for help through his email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com or you Whats_App this number +1 (807) 907-2687 or visit: lordmeduzatemple.com
