Clean and Simple Gift Ensemble

Hi everyone, I hope Wednesday (or Tuesday for a lot of you!) is treating you well. I have a cute cute cute project for you today - and some fun news!

Not only is my gift card holder featured on Project Tuesday - but I've been picked for the design team! Project Tuesday is a great challenge blog - you use YOUR favourite supplies (and everyone knows mine are Stampin' Up!) on fantastic challenges - there are so many amazing 3d projects and templates available already, with more to come!

Today's challenge was this adorable birdhouse template from Brenda Quintana. Brenda comes up with the most wonderful templates! I created a little ensemble, complete with a square clean and simple card for CAS56.

Seriously, this template couldn't be easier. Print it, cut it out, score and it folds together perfectly. I used circle punches and acetate to put a window in the front of mine. I also created a little tile roof detail with my threading water punch (or use the scallop edge punch and punch holes in each scallop).

Here's what it looks like open. You can also glue it all together to make an ornament. It's a perfect size for a small gift or sweet treats.

Here's my matching card. I love this Rustic Rooster stamp set (hostess only) - it's so different from anything else in my collection. The colour scheme is a classic - Kraft, Real Red, Black and White. I just love that gingham ribbon, and it works so perfectly with this set.

Here's the inside. That swirl stamp is really unique - it has such a gorgeous printed texture - enlarge the photo to see what I mean. The sentiment is from an old hostess set - Warmest Regards.

I had to finish off my ensemble with an envelope - again made of Kraft. I love the gorgeous simplicity of Mr Rooster on the Kraft background, it's so effective. I hope you'll give this fun challenge a try soon!
