Good Morning!
Today's C4C challenge is to make a gift card holder. I went a step further and made a gift to go along with my gift card holder.
The six pack holder is by Art Blanche and can be found HERE! The pretty pink paper is some I picked up at my LSS and is by Melissa Frances. I punched the top and bottom using my MS scallop doily punch. The bottles used to hold Prima flowers and now they hold bath bubbles, bath crystals, body wash, white chocolate mint candy and chocolate covered peanuts. I will give you a closer look at the jars in a minute! The image is from The Greeting Farm and is called Me Time Anya. Rachel is currently out but I am sure she is reordering so if you are interested in this set, just contact her HERE!
Here is a closer look at the image ~
I made the little window using Whisper White CS and adding THIS DP in the background. The candles are included in the set and I made the shelf from dark brown Bazzill CS. The "rug" is a large oval punched from Whisper White CS and then I added snow white Flower Soft. Anya's "towel" was paper pieced using the same pink DP but I added white flock to make it look fluffy. I also added white flock to her robe.
Here is a closer look at the gift card holder ~
I made the box from a template I made using one I bought at target for $.99. I will try to figure out how to upload it and pass it on if anyone is interested. I embossed the bottom of the box, before I taped it together, using my Victoria embossing folder. The ribbon is from May Arts, rhinestones are from Zva and the darling pin is from Making Memories. The little flower is from some old trim I had laying around.
Here is the image I put on the back of the carrier ~
Some quick details I added on this are white flock on the slippers to make them fuzzy, Stardust Stickles on the bubble and I paper pieced her little headband with the same DP.
Here is a picture of one of the jars ~
I printed the ingredients on the same DP and then punched them all out using my SU! large oval punch and then matted using a white scalloped oval that I cut using my Nesties. I tied these on using black and white May Arts ribbon.
Sorry this is such a quick post and definitely lacking in details but I still have so much to do to get ready to go to The Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg. Joey's entire football team and their families are going so it will DEFINITELY be a great time!
