This month's Guest Designer challenge at MFT is to create Pretty Packaging. I had a few different thoughts on what to do, and finally ended up with this:
Frosted Christmas Roses
I wanted to do a Christmas package, but I don't have any MFT Christmas stamps, so I decided to show how you can use die-namics for ANYTHING!
To start, I die cut a Fancy Flourish out of scrap paper to make my stencil for the wrapping paper. I then sponged cream ink over the stencil, creating a patterned wrapping paper on my kraft cardstock. I wrapped the present, which is a clear plastic box filled with some MFT cards, of course! I knotted some May Arts gingham ribbon around the box, to which I attached my tag. To make the tag, I started with a 1-3/4" circle of cardstock as a base. I cut and rolled three large roses and glued them on the circle base. I added holly leaves cut from two colors of green cardstock, and two flags stamped with "christmas" and "joy". To frost the roses, I squeezed some Crystal Effects on the edges and dumped Sugar Dust on them, and let it dry overnight. After I cut the frame from First Class Friend, I added some pearls on the bottom and just slipped the open frame under the loose ends of the ribbon knot on the package. I used green Mono Multi to glue the rose base to the ribbon knot. That stuff is the best!
Here's a close-up of my frosted roses:
Thanks for stopping by, I am off to try to clean up Sugar Dust,
that stuff is worse than glitter!
