Eeeekkk!! I'm so embarrassingly late with this House-Mouse & Friends MC
Midway challenge reminder. BUT... it's my great hope that you will
somehow forgive me once you see how time intensive this little project
was and the special prize I have to offer if you play too! :) Our
Teamie, Natascha, set the challenge theme for * Anything BUT a card * Which means, you can create anything at all - whatever crafty little thing
your heart desires - as long as it is NOT a card and it features a House-Mouse.
I decided to CREATE 6 Hexagon Top Box Gift Card Holders featuring our favorite House-Mouse Designs Characters . This is what one of the finished projects looks like. First one features Maxwell's Winter Footprints

This is how this Spellbinders Hexagon box opens up
Here is what it looks like once the the card is out of the box
This is the sponged box interior
The back of the box is also decorated
This is what that back looks like when it is closed
And lastly, here is the decorated mini hexagon card for the giftbox
Whew!!
Loads of work to get there, but aren't these mini cards adorable?
Though time intensive (due to individually stamping, and coloring and
sponging and dry embossing and die-cutting all the pieces), but they
were super easy to make.

Isn't this a FUN idea? I searched online for ways to use this Spellbinders Hexagon pinwheel die and ran across a you tube video featuring one of my fave crafters; Christina Griffiths's Tutorial. I must give her FULL CREDIT for this idea and want to thank her for
inspiring me with her simple and amazing tutorial. If you'd like to try using this Spellbinders Die, that you tube link can be found HERE.
I do hope you will play because this fun challenge is very proudly Sponsored by;

Hi blogger,
ReplyDeleteI am so interested about your posting. Your viewed topic of… is so important to me also everybody. I gonna you can to view my blog about Baby books for boys. It is essential to know the character and the passions of the person before purchasing the existing because sometimes, Customised gifts to buy a existing that is more in range with something that they might like for themselves. They do not focus on the recipient's needs and wants. So, before purchasing anything do some research about the person?
Amazing stuff! i never seen this type of gift boxes.
