It is Monday, which means that Kitchen Sink Stamps has their weekly crew challenge today. I am very happy that I had the time to play today! Actually, I made this box bag this past weekend, and it just fit perfectly with the challenge that they posted today! Great Challenge Emilia!!
Today's challenge was to make a gift for a friend or relative, you could only use kitchen sink stamps, and you could not use any designer paper... so I crated my own with their wonderful 3 step poinsettia set.
I stamped both the large and small poinsettia's on a piece of pink pirouette paper, with pink pirouette, regal rose, ruby red, riding hood red and chocolate chip inks. The leaves were then added with mellow moss, old olive, always artichoke, and chocolate chip.
I then added the thank you tag which was punched out with my square punch and my square scalloped punch, and tied to the top tab with some brown twill ribbon. Here is a close up for you to not only see the tags, but the wonderful images that the three step poinsettia makes...so very detailed!
The best tutorial I have found for making these box bags can be found on
Diana Gibbs blog. They truly are fun and easy to make!! I made this particular one for a hostess of a party that I will be going to next weekend. I plan on making many more of these this Christmas for all my friends and relatives, only I think I will be using DSP for those! :)
As you can see, in the first picture, two bags of hot chocolate fit perfectly into the bags. I also got some chocolate dipped peppermint stick (also known as north poles) from William Sonoma that will compliment the cocoa perfectly!! Hope everyone likes them!!
