Tour De Freaks November Blog Hop Tour: Gift Giving!

Welcome to the November Tour de Freak Blog Hop tour which officially starts November 20th!  We are so excited that you have joined us today on our Sixth Blog Tour.  This month we are featuring Gift Giving Ideas!  

Our tour is nice and short and features some of your favorite Control Freaks Stampers. You may have come here by way of Erin's Blog.  If so, welcome!  At the end of my post you will be directed to the next stop so make sure to keep on reading and don’t forget to click through on to the fabulous blog of Janine Tinklenberg.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the tour!

I decided to feature Gift Packaging.  You know...all those little things you find at the $ store.  Well - you need something FUN to put them in.

First up - Lotion and Nail Care

Luckily these products match Stampin' Up!'s Orchid Opulence cardstock and Ink! 

For the nail care gift, I just altered the package label and added some Organza Ribbon and silver cording. 

For the lotion, I made a 2-4-6-8 box (from 8 1/2 x 11).  Stenciled the snowflakes with Orchid Opulence ink using the Vintage Ornaments II stencil and a sponge.

TIP:  decorate the cardstock before scoring or cutting.

The white snowflake is die cut using the Merry Details Sizzlets Die and attached with a Ice Circle Rhinestone Brad.

Now..something for the kids.  Penguin lotion, notes and ornaments!

I found these adorable Penguin items at the $ store and just had to have them!  I thought - not only would they make great stocking stuffers, but that I could make some matching punch art ornaments. 

OK - so you have to know...I've never made my own punch art.  I mostly just copy others and have been amazed by their creativity.  SO....

Viola - Aren't these stickin' cute?!  I can't believe how adorable they turned out.  They even got husband approval.  I made them into ornaments to attach to the packaging.

I used vellum cardstock to wrap both of these gifts.  I made a vellum open "envelope" for the post-it notes

For the Lotion - I just wrapped vellum around the bottle, leaving a couple inches at the top.  Scrunched the top together and wrapped in Tempting Turqoise Ribbon and attached the penguin ornament!

I thought about stamping on the vellum (which would be cute), but I liked seeing the item through the vellum.  Sometimes less is more!

Well, that's it for me.  I hope you enjoyed this stop on the Tour De Freaks Tour.  Be sure to visit the next stop with Janine Tinklenberg.  We look forward to seeing you again on December 20th for our next Tour de Freaks Blog Tour!

 

 

Tour De Freaks Coming November 20th: Holiday Gifts!

Are you ready for another fabulous Blog Tour from the talented Control Freaks Stampers?

Be here Friday morning to see some amazing creations for the HOLIDAYS!

See you soon!

Nov Technique: Punch Art Pumpkins

Here's another card from this month's Technqiue Tuesday Class featuring punch art. 

The pumpkin was made with the Wide Oval and Word Window Punches.  The circles at the bottom of the card are made with the Slit Punch (push all the way in).  Then fold backwards and "back" with a piece of Really Rust - very clever.  I can say that, because I didn't invent it.

Supplies:  Teeny Tiny Wishes, Chocolate Chip, Real Rust, Tempting Turquoise, Confetti Cream Cardstock, Chocolate Chip Ink, Stampin' Sponges, Punches: Wide Oval, Word Window, Modern Label, Slit, Stampin' Dimensionals

Enjoy~Dawn O
