Fancy Folds and 3D projects ESAD blog hop 10/2017 - Holiday Catalogue



Welcome to my contribution for the Fancy Folds and 3D projects ESAD blog hop using the Holiday Catalogue products - I will admit squeezing a few extra Annual Catalogue goodies in as well.




Today I decided to pull out an old favourite of mine The Gift Bag Punch Board. With Christmas coming very fast I thought some packaging would be great to get started on. I love the Merry Little Christmas spread in the Holiday Catalogue on pages 10-13 so decided to follow suit. I am giving jewellery to those owning the little box plus the bags and the big box will hold a bottle of perfume perfectly. They looked a little naked without some sparkle so I added a little bling with the initials of the gift recipients.

 
 
These 2 are bags made according to the instructions with the paper cut for the large bag 6"x12" and the smaller bag 6"x10" I scored the top at 1" to fold it over on the smaller bag to get the contrast.
 


 
So onto some boxes - still using the Gift Bag Punch Board - now I don't like to reinvent the wheel so I headed over to YouTube to find a video on how to do this. I found Amanda's video HERE and all the instructions including the measurements for the tall box are there.  The little box is a cut down smaller version as I need that size for earrings and a necklace.
 
 
Using the Everyday Label Punch and the Labels To Love Stamp set I have made this tag - its 3 layers, Whisper White, DSP and then the Stamped Christmas Tag.
 



Thanks for stopping by I hope you have liked my projects - please hop on over to Rebecca's page and see her great table settings and matching card that she has to share with us - till next time!
