Thankfully my mojo has returned, in time to get a few Christmas card prototypes done and a swap gift completed. Thanks to the little mystery elf, whom I’ve still to identify!
The photos today are of a gift basket I made for my local demo group’s gift exchange that was last night. I found a card size acrylic box at Container Store, stuffed it with tissue and fake snow.
Then, I decorated a Papertrey Ink tea tin and nugget tin using Soft Sky print papers, Wild Wasabi textured cardstock and Certainly Celery wide grosgrain ribbon. I used a printer to print the labels (font is CK Kolette, my ultimate favorite font). The nugget tin has miscellaneous silk flowers in it, along with some Heidi Swapp ghost flowers. I’m sorry there’s not an individual picture of the nugget tin- but it also has a label similar to the tea tin. There is a plastic stack of spiral clips and 8 rolls of ribbon spools divided into two groups of 4- with a scallop punch topper.
I wrapped more of the grosgrain ribbon around the whole box and put a tag on the front with Whisper white, Wild Wasabi and Soft Sky – handwriting the “Jewelery Box” on the circle. Then packaged up the whole deal with clear plastic wrapping paper.
The Tea Tin is filled with chipboard alphabets – an “A” is attached to the tag and put where the A for the word “Alphabits” is. I didn’t want to adhere the A permanently to the tag, so the recipient could use it, so I punched 2 holes with a 1/16″ hole punch and threaded silver cording thru the holes. I then attached the tag with a brad to the label.
I have plans for the remaining tea tins and nugget boxes- food related! I will have those done this week and post those for you. Please ask if you have any questions on these projects since the pictures may not show them each in their individual glory! LOL!
