Card a Palooza challenge 7

Wahoo! We are half way there. If you have completed the first SIX challenges you have TWO chances to win! AND if you did the Hybrid Bonus challenge, you have THREE!


So today's challenge is to create a card that looks like a present. See how I used the dies and the hemp to make it look like it's wrapped? You can use ribbons, paper, anything you want.

These are GREAT for any kind of gift giving cards and love to do these for Christmas.



Make sure you post in the gallery and link back here by August 17th, midnight PST.

Great card Ellen !!!!

Here is my take, tfl!

LOVE IT! Great card, Sherry! it's brilliant!

Thank you, Ellen!

I tried to make my card look like a gift box by using foam adhesive squares to give a little height to the "lid".

Here is mine:

oh these are so great guys!!!

Here is mine, TFL...

I had the hardest time with this challenge! I made a card, and spent a ton of time on it, and totally don't like it. So, I decided to go a bit of a different direction and made a card that looks like a gift card holder. The message goes inside and can be pulled out of the pocket.

Wow! I'm blown away by the creativity here! You girls are amazing card makers! One of my fav challenges is this one! Great job!

Not sure I pulled this one off. I have a ton of those little jewelry making charms so I added one to this to resemble a "gift tag"....not sure I love it though.

it's cute! i love the colors, too

Oh Melonie, I think its adorable! That charm does look just like a gift tag!

Here is mine using a shape from the Silhouette!

Here is my present card:

Here is my take on the challenge. I tried to make it look like a gift box.
