Sugar & Cloth

It occurred to me that not everyone needs a Valentine idea for this year, and just so you know I’m thinking of you, I have come up with three solutions: 1) boys, who needs them? 2) you can use this wrapping paper tutorial for revenge mail if needed, just leave out the o’s, use some black paint, and don’t be so careful with the x’s. 3) win a giant gift basket from DecoArt.

Materials:

• DecoArt paints
• brushes
• white card stock/computer paper

This might be the simplest wrapping paper you’ll ever make: All you have to do is paint x’s and o’s all over the computer paper! Once it’s dry, wrap your box like usual and tie it with twine. If you need to wrap something a bit bigger, you can buy sheets of drawing paper at the craft store to use.

To win the DecoArt giveaway, just leave a comment below! If you’d like additional entries, “Like” DecoArt and Sugar & Cloth on Facebook and leave separate comments telling me you did so. The giveaway ends February 13th, and a winner will be announced on Valentine’s Day. Open to U.S readers only.

I can’t help but show you my ridiculously cute Rifle Paper Co. Christmas postcards. Mostly I’m just proud about the fact that I’m getting around to sending anything out at all, but then when you add red and white twine on top of it, I’m about as proud as Buddy the Elf after spreading Christmas cheer.

On a more relevant note (that you’ve all been waiting for), I’m excited to announce the winners that were randomly drawn for the Potter + Butler and Jelanie giveaways! Drum roll please:

Go ahead and clear your inboxes, Holly and Eleonora, we’ll be in touch with info on your gifts! For those of you that didn’t win, don’t fret, you can enter plenty more giveaways (14 to be exact) on 24 Merry Days. Thanks for all of your enthusiasm and to our awesome sponsors!

For the third day in the 24 Merry Days blog event, two lucky S+C readers will be randomly selected to win one of the following two prizes by Potter & Butler and Jelanie:

I’d like to throw it out there for the winners that I do, ironically, accept mini cloud bracelets in exchange for DIY’s just in case you feel like sharing the awesome.

P.s.- You can also enter the previous two giveaways, plus mark your calendars for the next 21 prizes, right here.

Every now and then I subconsciously pick a favorite DIY, and this paint splattered coaster project is definitely one of my recent loves! It’s really fun, and really easy. You can check out the full tutorial here, and in the mean time, get your giveaway boots ready because S+C is a part of this bad boy! –

I’ll be announcing each giveaway and blogger in posts, Facebook, or tweets each day in December up until Christmas, so keep a look out.

P.s.- The S+C giveaway is this Monday, eek!
