I decided to make a project for the Verve challenge that can be found here:http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=399538
The challenge is to make anything but a card, or ABC challenge : ) I chose to make this cute box in a bag. You can find the instructions for this here:

For my paper I used Scenic Route Sonoma DP, Kiwi Kiss, Very Vanilla, and Chocolate Chip. I followed the instructions for the bag, stamped my ornament image with VersaMark and embossed with copper embossing powder. I colored the image in with sponge daubers using my Kiwi Kiss ink pad, colored the stripes in with my Real Red marker, stamped the Merry Christmas with Chocolate Chip and cut it out. I raised it up with foam squares onto my squares that I cut with my Nestabilities. The snowflakes were punched with a Martha Stewart snowflake punch and I put a Kaiser green rhinestone in the middle of each one. I used polka dot red sheer ribbon to tie the tabs together, and Offray red ribbon for the bow on the ornament. I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

You know what I love about this is that the packaging is so pretty and it's a gift on it's own - doesn't matter how small or cheap what's on the inside is...this is the best part of the gift. Way nice, Kerri!
ReplyDeleteThanks again Michelle! I think I'm going to make a couple more and use them for teacher's gifts. I thought I could put some hot cocoa and marshmellows, maybe a couple candy canes : ) Even an ornament would be nice for somebody! The possibilities are endless!
ReplyDeleteThis is so well done! Congratulations!
