Rose Gift Box

I haven't made a pillow box gift box for a while so decided to include one in the recent class.  The beautiful rose is made using the owl punch and two circle punches and the lovely Just Add Cake DSP.

To add some texture, we used the Perfect Polka Dots textured impressions embossing folder.

This is just perfect for a chocolate treat or maybe a small piece of jewellery.

Christmas Gift Card Holder and Pillow Box

As promised, here are the final two projects we made at Julie's workshop last Saturday.

The gift card holder is just perfect for the credit card style gift vouchers which all the stores are selling now.  The front flips open and there is a slot just right to hold the voucher in place.   To make this project we used Crumb Cake card stock, some more of the Jolly Holiday DSP and the ornament and sentiment stamps from the Contempo Christmas stamp set.  The Ornament Punch and Scallop Trim Punch have also been used.  To finish off we tied the gift card holder with striped Grosgrain Ribbon.

The pillow box was made with the fabulous Big Shot and the Pillow Box Die.  It has been decorated with swirls from the Baroque Motifs stamp set and a poinsetta made from the 5-petal flower punch added to finish it off.  This is just perfect for a small present or treat.

As you can see, we had a very productive day and really got in the Christmas mood!

Pillow Box and Flower Daisies

I've just tried two of the new dies from the Mini Catalogue and they are fabulous.

I cut a pillow box from Newsprint DSP and then flower daisies in Brights DSP.  The daisies have been layered, using alternate sides of the Brights DSP.  The pillow box die creases the fold lines so it's very easy to put together.  The flower was adhered to one side of the finished pillow box - now all it needs is a treat to put inside.

Simple but very effective.  I think I'm going to be making lots of these somehow ...
