Chris is our hostess in the Color Challenge this week. She has given us a classic palette to work with: Basic Black, Basic White and Real Red. All this month, the dessert option is Christmas in July.
I had several ideas for cards for this week, but after seeing Sam Donald/aka Pootles showing how to make an adorable little pouch, I decided these would be great table favors for Christmas dinner. You can see Sam's video .
Following the video step-by-step made cutting and assembly easy. The only changes I made were that I added DS paper to the back (2-3/4" x 4") as well as the to front and that I glued the bottom shut. I'm thinking a few Ghirardelli chocolate squares would fit and would be a lovely treat.
The poinsettia is die-cut from Real Red cardstock. Real Red ink was sponged into the openings in the dies to create the detail on the petals. A tiny golden enamel dot decorates the center of the flower. The little "Joy" tag dangles from a loop of gold thread.
Looking forward to seeing so many red, white and black creations in the gallery this week. Please join us!
