Hello and welcome to the Heart of Christmas from the Art with Heart Team.
My goodness, the weeks are just flying by aren't they!
After tonight, there are only 3 weeks left of sharing our festive projects with you all in this weekly blog hop.
Here's my creation for this week.
In last weeks Colour Creations blog hop I made a simple divided insert to place inside one of the C6 Acetate Card boxes to create a gift box. I just had to make a Christmas version for tonight of course, and here it is.
I used this gorgeous stripy pattern from the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper to make the insert, the card and to wrap the minties. The stripes reminded me of peppermints and candy canes. I didn't have candy canes to hand, but I did have minties in the pantry. I cut 1" wide strips to wrap around each one, and secured with a glue dot. The length of each strip was different because the minties aren't all the same size, but the width is perfect.
The card base measures 3 5/8" x 10 7/8", scored @ 3 5/8" and 7 1/4" to create this simple Z-fold. I stamped two sentiments and the poinsettia image from the Words of Cheer stamp set in Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow, adding some Real Red dots as well. I adore the little poinsettia and holly leaf dies from the coordinating Christmas Cheer die set. I added them to my Stitched So Sweetly layered labels.
Aren't they cute!
If you would like the measurements for the insert, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
See below for a list of the Stampin' Up! products I used to create this fun, and easy gift box.
I couldn't make just one!
They would make lovely teachers gifts. They really are a great idea!
That's it from me tonight everyone, thanks for stopping by.
