I have a bit of a thing for making gift boxes - I make one for each of my team at Christmas and fill with goodies for them (I have quite a large team!) so always on the look-out for something quick and easy to make. And then, I make extras for other work colleagues who help me out! So yes, I need quite a few!
So I was having a play with some of the Ho Ho Ho 6x6 papers - I glued two together (be careful with patterns!) and then when that was dry, I glued the other two edges together to create a tube.
Glue one side closed as shown - I used clothes pegs to keep it all together! They have a better 'reach' than bulldog clips and are kinder on the grip!
Whilst waiting for all this glue to dry, I cut some holly leaves using the Holly and Spruce die - I've coloured these leaves with Promarkers to match the leaves on the paper! I've added them to a tag (Basic Tag dies) cut from a scrap of card and then used some Dew Drops for berries.
I've now held the opposite sides together to create a triangle and punched two holes (I actually used a hole punch as the holes were a perfect spacing) and threaded the red ribbon through with the tag.
In total, with drying time, this took about an hour, but I didn't just sit around waiting for the glue to dry - I was productive with my time! I'd like to enter the following:

Polkadoodle Challenge Week 1 - Anything Goes
The current Polkadoodle challenge still has a week left to run and its been an extended one due to the festive break. The theme is Anything Goes.
I've made another gift card wallet this week but used papers from Twiggy and Toots Festive Fun which I printed onto thick card. Again, no actual template used - just made it up as I went along!
I've recycled a thick kraft envelope as my base and then added papers from the cd plus the sentiment. Quick and easy! The 'berries' are doodle dewdrops also available in the store.
