Challenge 12 at Crafting with Dragonflies.

 

Good Morning Bloggers

 

How the last fortnight has flown by.

Admittedly I was away for the best part of it so that is why I think it flew past me.

 

So today we head on to CHALLENGE #12.

For this fortnight we have another challenge for you and this time it is to make a

Gift Box/Holder and add at least 3 cards.

 

I saw this tutorial HERE after Kelli showed the Design Team.

 I saved it for future reference and it wasn't till Kelli posted her photos

that I realized it was the one I had kept for a rainy day

(didn't rain while I was making it lol)

 

I pretty well kept to the same theme as the tutorial because

the digi I had picked from our generous sponsor

 

 

was perfect for a CHRISTMAS GIFT.

I chose their CHRISTMAS POINSETTIA

 

I love using this flower at Christmas time

 but also any time during the year as it doesn't have to be red.

 

Here is what I made.

 

 

Pretty simple really.

 I used green scrapbook paper for my folder.

Red card stock as a backing for my Christmas Designer Paper

and cut the bottom edge with a MS Punch.

Added a few embellishments and tied a Christmas ribbon to the top.

Finished with a Christmas Peg.

 

The inside I added 2 embellishments.

 

This is a close up view of the Poinsettia on my cards.

 

My Folder & Hand Made cards

that fit in the slots at either end.

The snowflakes were heat embossed with glittered embossing powder

and sentiments are from various stamp sets.

I popped the poinsettia flowers on the cards for dimension.

 

It was nice to get an early start on some Christmas projects

 thanks to our Leader HILDE.

 

We will have a few more Christmas type challenges a little later in the year.

 

Thanks again for stopping by to see my latest Dragonfly Creation

and hope to see yours over there soon.
