How-To

Blueprint Wrapping Paper

Blueprint, November/December 2007

Our first gift to you: This stack of spirited wrapping paper -- designed by Blueprint, and not sold in stores. Just print out one -- or all -- of the five patterns (11-by-17-inch paper works best).

Wrapping Paper How-To

Our custom papers are meant to be combined (as we did above) or used separately with other things you have around the house. Feel free to mix and match as you like. If you like the look of our set, here's how we did it:

Wrap a gift with our swirly paper, then print out an oval frame accent and adorn with a picture or type. The striped-paper box is accented with a cummerbund dotted with frame windows (feel free to fill in the recipient's name or a festive message like we did. Our fancy cummerbund paper can be cut out in strips and used with plain white paper or a patterned paper in a similar color scheme. The last present's graphic print needs only a simple black ribbon and an ornamental plaque to cut out and affix to the gift.

    I'm on an Ipad- I can't see the Cameos either?

    I agree with Tigerlilly - I can't see the CAMEO. I was able to print on 81/2 x 11 without a problem.

    Hi....

    I have a Mac and I have no problem seeing the Cameo!

    The description states to adorn with your own picture or type, so the cameo is just for inspiration.

    When I download the cameo cummerbund wrapping paper, the cameo is not there. Am I missing something?

    Zaliasherfinn, Im not sure what kind of problem you are having printing. The advice that I can offer you is make sure you are using 11 x 17 paper. It turns out the best that way. And you also have to make sure that your printer settings are set to acccept 11 x 17 paper. After pressing file print, click on properties, and then advance, somewhere there should be a tab or something ( depending on your printer) that says paper size. Hope this helps

    Thanks for the gift, BP staff! I really like your pared down choice of black and white with lots of scrolly elegance. I plan on paring some of these paper choices with silver and gold. P.S. Saw the paper as part of The Today Show gift wrap sequence, and fell like a stone for it the moment I saw it.

    PLEASE! , give us the flourish design in the back ground! These designs are nice but the smaller and tighter designs won't look good unless you have a high quality printer. I'd rather use the dramatic and elegant design BEHIND these boxes.

    Black and white paper can be elegant for using in scrapbooks or the wrap gifts.
