Here is my project. I created this pretty card and little gift bag set. It is the perfect set for a co-worker or teacher gift. It features the Christmas Farmhouse Floral die.
The card is an A4 top folding card. The base is from black cardstock. I cut a mat from some plaid digital paper I created. I then used the largest Double-Stitched Oval die from the Nesting die set. It is part of Cottage Cutz Basics line of dies.
I then cut the Christmas Farmhouse Floral die from some white cardstock. I set about coloring all of the images. I picked up some markers on Amazon to give them a try. I then used some of my chalks to blend the colors.
I then used this sponge applicator to ink some dark gray ink all over. This gave the can some pretty good texture.
Here is a closer look at all the beautiful foliage and flowers you get with this one die! I layered the poinsettias and then added some touches of stickles and scattered some sequins for a little extra bells and whistles. Of course I finished off the can with a cute little organza bow.
Here's a look at just the little bag. I created the file for the little bag. I cut it out of some black cardstock. I used some more of the plaid paper I created to cut a mat for the front and back of the bag. It matches nicely with the card. I used another double stitched oval die from the set and then created a couple of mats. I layered that all underneath another of the beautiful Christmas Farmhouse Floral die set.
To finish off both of them, I added a sentiment to the smallest scallop stitched rectangle from that basics set.
Here is one last look at the set. I think it turned out super cute and it was simple enough, that you can re-create it in multiples.
