Oooo a cheery cherry gift set to show off to y'all today! This was SO much fun to make. I know I'll be making a few more soon. :)
The box itself (
tut here) is made from Bazzill red cardstock and the dp paper is from the uber yummy
Konnichiwa line from Basic Grey. It was hard to think about cutting it up to use 'cause its just sooooo pretty! Then I realized that having it sit in a box was a complete waste of its lusciousness, so I held my breath and started cutting.
There was still some paper left and the cards were yet to be created to go in the box...so I had to put on my big girl britches and use the rest on the cards. This is a gift, so its worth it. I mean when you can enough to send the very best... :)
This whole set is going to a teacher friend from another school who helped out with the set up of a new program. Sparing y'all with all the boring deets, she saved use HOURS and HOURS of work. This little set was the least I could do!
The cards that went in the box have to be fairly flat in order to fit them and the envies. Do you have any idea how hard that is these days?!?! No foam, no big bows, no nutin'. Texture made up for some of the flatness and the cheery cherry factor helped me move past the flat flattiness. :) Hope she likes this. One of my teacher roommates is giving this box 'o cherries this weekend. Can't wait to hear what she thinks!
I'm off to get a baked french toast casserole ready for dinner tonight. We are hosting some of my DH's coworkers and our theme is "Breakfast for Dinner"- french toast, hash brown egg baskets, fruit cup with sherbet, and spiral ham. They are engineers so this dinner concept may rock their world. LOL!
Any yummy plans in your weekend?
