Anything But A Card
Our challenge this week is brought to you by our dear teamie Natascha!
You must know that I would love this challenge! I made this cute little gift bag with my Silhouette. I did add an extra 'shadow' on the belly band and circle in the center to make it stand out a wee bit more. Isn't this the perfect paper to go with this stamp??? Christmas candy is so happy! I added a few Martha punched holly pieces and embossed the circle piece for a little added texture. And yes, I parted with a wee bit of my pretty satin cream ribbon too! I am such a hoarder LOL!
It is always nice to get started early(HA! for me that is) with little holiday gifties. Since I had parts and pieces of paper left over, I made a matching card with my new Sizzix die Fancy Flip It's. It was calling me...The double sided paper combo is so perfect for this die!
Give me candy!!!
I wish it could be Christmas every day. (sentiment by Penny Black and available at Simon Says Stamp-linked below)

Beautiful, project Sue, so festive, and I do hanker for Candy canes around this time of year xxx
ReplyDeletePerfect perfect perfect! And my next big splurge is the flip it die. Yes, I can make on the Silhouette, but so quick and easy with the die. I had my first grandbaby born 3 weeks ago, just sold the house, helping with baby while mom goes to PT...complications at birth and building a small cottage to move in....that has taken all my time away from craft time.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute gift set, Sue! this is darling the way you have cut out the HM character to place in the embossed circle! Darling gift bag and beautiful card! hugs, de
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
