Today, I found a project that I had created last year for a gift and never posted. Well, it's simply Too Cool not to share!
I absolutely LOVE the idea of creating a poinsettia flower from the leaf in the French Foliage set, so it is worth bringing back this awesome project idea this holiday season, too!
Making The Poinsettia—You can see all the details for creating the shimmering poinsettia at my previous French Foliage Shimmering Poinsetta post. The post features the beautiful card pictured above. Still one of my favorites of all time!
Box In A Bag—This project also features the Box In A Bag technique, which is a simple way to create a small, durable gift bag for any occasion. Check out how to make this fun style of box in my Spooky Box In A Bag post.
Other Project Details—The scallop border along the bottom of the box is created with the Tasteful Trim Die. The Jolly Holiday DSP has since retired.
I used the Round Tab Punch with Old Olive card stock to create tabs on the top of the box. I punched holes in the tabs with the Crop-A-Dile, then tied the bag closed with Chantilly Crochet Trim.
I stamped one of the Delightful Decorations ornaments in Old Olive on Very Vanilla, punched it out with the Ornament Punch, then layered it on Riding Hood Red and cut it out freehand. The tag is tied on with Linen Thread.
