Another gift card holder is complete and I am sharing this one over at Freshly Made Sketches #717. As soon as I saw the sketch I pictured these elements. This scene could depict someone hugging their gift or the gift exchange game where people pick a gift under the tree, then others can "steal it" three times before it stays with the last person who had it. Everybody wants that exceptional gift and this could be two people fighting over it.
- My Favorite Things Craft Hands die set, tag sentiment
- Stampin' Up! inside sentiment, ribbons, patterned paper outside
- Altenew Obsidian black ink pad
- Spellbinders silver gems
- Tear tape (to make the bow)
- Foam tape (to pop up the gift)
Just a couple of notes: I added tiny gems to the gift paper for festive fun and I made the miniature bow like ones we used to make years ago. I die cut the hands but didn't put the cutting plate all the way to the arm end of the die so that I could make the arms longer by using scissors to cut the forearms. The tutorial for the bag is here and Amanda Mertz made a very clear and concise way to make these inner bags. I sneaked in my sentiment as the gift tag on the box to go with the FMS sketch and the arms are the elements that come in from both sides like the cute Santa belt by DT Michelle Langley. Just love the DT cards for this challenge.
Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year! I'm so glad you visited here.
