Our former neighbors have a little dog named Mamie. I get her a cute outfit each Christmas. This year I didn’t find anything I liked, except a little knit hat. I can’t wait to get a photo of her wearing it! Of course, the hat needed just the right gift wrap.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s how I did it:
For the box:
The White Gift Boxes from this year’s Holiday Catalog are the perfect size for a small gift like this. They are 3″ x 3″ x 3″ and come with clear acetate sleeves. I cut 5 pieces ofPresents & Pinecones Designer Series Paper to 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″. I used the 1″ circle punch to cut small piece from the top of the front piece to accommodate the cut out in the box. I glued the DSP pieces to the four sides and the top of the box. I slipped the clear sleeve over the box, then tied a piece of Emerald Envy Ruched Ribbon around it.
For the tag:
I stamped the dog from the Bella & Friends stamp set in Basic Black ink onto Thick Whisper White card stock. I used a Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Write Marker to color in the heart. Then I cut it out with the Tags & Labels Framelits. Using the Labeler Alphabet stamp set, I stamped MAMIE in Emerald Envy ink onto Thick Whisper White CS, then cut it out with the same tag Framelit.
I used a larger Framelit from the same set to cut a piece of Cherry Cobbler CS and a piece of Emerald Envy CS. I glued the white pieces onto the colored pieces, then punched holes in the tops with the 1/8″ Circle Punch.
I braided pieces of Emerald Envy, Cherry Cobbler, and Whisper White Baker’s Twine and used it to tie the tag onto the gift’s bow.
Here’s what I used:
Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
