Sparkles Christmas Challenge 183 has just gone live and Sue has chosen Gifts as our theme for May!
This die (Sizzix Gift 2) is an oldie but a goodie! It's one of those old thick original Sizzix dies and it cuts just the one piece - gift + bow! However, as I wanted the bow to really stand out against the present, I cut it once from patterned paper and twice more from red cardstock, then snipped away the gift part from the bow part on the red die cuts, stacked them and laid them over the patterned paper die cut. Then I added some glossy accents so the bow would shine.
Sentiment is also an oldie but a goodie too - Waltzing Mouse Stamps Compliments of the Season.
I decorated the inside and the envelope with a stamped image of a wrapped gift (Love2Craft)!
