I made this for today's TLC. The inside bit still has Stickles drying on it, and I have to sew the lining into a cot blanket, so that's the rest of my evening accounted for.
I don't really give gift cards, so I wasn't sure I was going to make this. But between Faith's blog where she showed how she used the Labels 1 dies, and Cindy's blog where I saw her CCEE challenge card, I went for it.
I don't have anything at all like a poinsettia except for the Flower for All Seasons stamp, but when I was picking out some Primas today to send a friend with some things I had punched out for her, I came across these red snowy Christmassy ones, and left them out to remind me to use them.
The base is deep blue Bazzill. As per Faith's tutorial it's cut out with the Nestabilities dies, and another single layer is attached on the front. Before attaching the black music layer, I wrapped some wide metallic gold ribbon round it, shaping it to fit the contours of the label. The next layer is embossed red paper from Dovecraft, and then green Bazzill. The edges are lined with a clear Sakura Stardust pen. I added two of the Primas, and a little stamen punch with gold Stickles for the centre. A big gold bow at the top and that's it, although I see I need to plump the bow up a bit .
The inside will be another label die, gold paper with presents and stars on it, and Joyeux Noel stamped in black. Edged with gold Stickles, which is what is still drying...
TFL, and thanks Faith and Cindy for giving me enough inspiration to go for this one and not sit it out.
