Day 2 - Caardvarks with Creative Cuts and More Blog Hop
Again, I’ve had the pleasure of participating in the Caardvarks and Creative Cuts & More Blog Hop. Today’s theme is Holiday packaging. If you have reached my blog from Kayla Dupont then you are on track - if not you want to start at the beginning - Caardvarks - you won’t want to miss any eye candy and there are some blogs that have candy being given away….. So here’s a look at my Holiday packaging project for today. I kept mine simple and pretty straight forward - I do have to say in advance - I’m not a seamstress!!! rarely do I sew - at least on fabric - so this was a little bit of a challenge for me.
I used Gingerbread and Ric Rac felt die cuts from Creative Cuts & More - decorated the little boy and girl like cookies using the felt Ric Rac, a couple of dark brown brads, and some buttons. The large piece of white Ric Rac that was used for the snow was first covered with Stickles Glitter Glue, dried and then glued on. For the bag itself, it is simply a piece of felt, sewn on the sides and bottom and then trimmed with pinking shears. Ran a piece of narrow taffeta ribbon through the top, gave a little cinching and there you have a little gift bag.
Just a couple of other quick notes before you head to your next eye candy stop. Leave a comment on my blog for your chance to win BLOG CANDY offered at the end of the three days - BLOG CANDY offered from my site will be a package of goodies from Creative Cuts & More. Come back tomorrow for another Holiday challenge. Don’t forget to mark your calendars for a MEGA RECIPE BOOK BLOG HOP sponsored by Creative Cuts & More - starts Nov 9th-10th. Your next stop will be Lindsay Weirich. While you’re cruising through - be sure while at the Creative Cuts & More site you sign up for the Newsletter, and lastly at the end be sure to leave your comment at Caardvarks. Until tomorrow, Enjoy and Create, Lila
PS: Creative Cuts & More is offering PRIZES throughout the hop - along with a shopping discount 15% - Nov 1st - 4th
