A catalog for Mrs. Prindable's handmade confections came to my house recently, and of course, I found inspiration inside. The goodies themselves look yummy, too!
Check out this stack of gifts:
And here's my stack of gifts:
I used a new embossing folder by Sizzix called Powdered Sugar which has vertical rows of flowers, dots and diamonds. I thought it would echo the vertical stack of presents.
And the presents....I made them by using 1", 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" square punches on retired flocked SU paper. They have scalloped "lids", using a scallop border punch and white cardstock. Each gift is propped up on dimensionals, and a metallic thread ties them all up together (each thread end is taped onto the backs of the smallest and largest gifts). I also tied a bow separately near the top.
I am entering this card in five places:
I believe my Creativity just walked back in the door.
