Pillow Box & Gift Tags - Global Design Project #gdp011

Another week has flown by, and I am still giddy from the fabulous weekend I had in Melbourne for 'On Stage 2015'. Catching up with fellow Demonstrators and meeting beautiful creative souls. Also, getting to see and play with brand new products in the upcoming 2016 Occasions Catalogue ! It's all so exciting...

This week the Design Team for Global Design Project have a Theme Challenge:

Here is my creation:

A Square Pillow Box made using the 'Home for Christmas' DSP music sheet. I daubed the edges using Crumb Cake ink to give a Vintage feel to the Pillow Box and Embossed Circle. How gorgeous is this Designer Series Paper? And there are more beautiful designs within this 12 page series.

 I have also made some Christmas Gift Tags to go inside the Pillow Box. I love the Holly stamp from the 'Embellished Ornaments' stampset. And the Ornate Tag Topper Punch creates lovely Gift Tags with a vintage feel. The recipient gets to finish the tags with some Gold Baker's Twine - which is absent right now!

Whilst I was making and creating, I had a thought to make a Christmas bauble (or two). I have had a couple of empty baubles sitting around and seeing as I had all the paper and ink and stamps on my table, these ideas came to me...

I have fussy cut the Holly spray and I added a few teeny pieces of Stampin' Dimensionals to lift the holly inside the bauble. And a few dashes of Dazzling Details glitter for a little bling. (It was difficult to capture the inside, as the early evening light is reflected on the outside of the bauble.)

And another version, with fussy-cut holly and the beautiful stamp 'Silent Night' and the music notes from the 'Jingle All the Way' stampset.

I had fun making this weeks Christmas Theme projects. There is still time to join in on the Challenge, and I hope I have inspired you to get your Christmas creating happening?

Thankyou for stopping by, and I love hearing from you. D x
