The holidays are coming and I wanted to share with you a quick and easy gift for that special friend or coworker. Are you a BATH & BODY WORKS addict? Do you just love going in the store, wander around sniffing bottles and checking out sales? Me too. I know everyone I know would love a gift from that amazing store. For today's project, I just created a pretty tag for a holiday hand soap and a coordinating card featuring the JOY OF CHRISTMAS SUITE. Love these projects, especially the DSP.
For the tag, I cut out two concentric circles using the LAYERING CIRCLE DIES. For the 2-3/4in circle, I cut out a piece of the gold foil wood grain DSP. For the 2-1/2in circle, I cut out a piece of CHERRY COBBLER card stock. On the CHERRY COBBLER circle, emboss the sentiment using VERSAMARK INK and GOLD EMBOSSING POWDER. Layer the two circles together.
On a scrap of BASIC WHITE card stock, stamp the greenery branch image using VERSAMARK INK and emboss using GOLD EMBOSSING POWDER. Color in the holly berries using CHERRY COBBLER BLENDS and cut out using the coordinating die. Adhere the branch to the tag using DIMENSIONALS.
Punch a hole in the top of the tag, string a piece of the METALLIC GOLD TRIM through the hole and tie to the neck of the hand soap bottle. DONE!!
I was inspired for the ENVELOPE CARD by several stampers I found on PINTEREST and wanted to give it a try myself. Start with an envelope, seal it and cut the short end open. Create the panel for the inside of the card first.
Cut a CHERRY COBBLER panel measuring 5-1/2in by 4-1/4in Layer on that a BASIC WHITE panel measuring 5-1/4in by 4in. Create a tab at the top by folding a strip of CHERRY COBBLER measuring 2in by 1in in half and stapling or gluing it at the top of the large panel. Using the CLASSIC CHRISTMAS STAMP SET and the JOY OF NOEL STAMP SET, I stamped a holly branch image and the "Season's Greetings" sentiment with CHERRY COBBLER INK.
Slide the panel inside the envelope. Cut a panel of CHERRY COBBLER measuring 4-1/4in by 10in and a panel of DSP at 4in by 10in. Layer these panels the lay them face down on the work surface. Center the envelope on the panel and using a BONE FOLDER, score on each side of the envelope. Fold the panel around the envelope, overlap the ends and adhere.
For the embellishment on the front of the envelope, die cut a 2-5/8in CHERRY COBBLER circle. Stamp the larger holly branch image in VERSAMARK INK on a scrap of BASIC WHITE card stock. Emboss using GOLD EMBOSSING POWDER and color in the berries using CHERRY COBBLER BLENDS. Cut the branch out using the coordinating die. Add to the circle using DIMENSIONALS.
Lastly, stamp the "Making Spirits Bright" sentiment on a scrap of BASIC WHITE card stock using CHERRY COBBLER INK. To give the sentiment a smaller profile, fussy cut around the words. Adhere to the branch. Add the circle to the envelope using TOMBOW. Tie a bow using the GOLD METALLIC TRIM and add it to the card front using MINI GLUE DOTS.
