Last weekend I had a workshop at my friend Pam’s house.  I wanted to show them the Big Shot and make a quick hostess gift.  So this is what I came up with…

I used a piece of Kraft card stock and ran it through the Big Shot with the Fancy Favor box die.  Before I assembled the box I stamped the front and back and both sides with the large floral image from the Elements of Style stamp set.  I used Chocolate Chip ink and also sponged the edges of the box with Chocolate Chip ink.  I assembled the box and added a quick handle made from Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon.

On the front I used the Two-Step Bird punch in Really Rust to create my bird – sponged, of course, in Chocolate Chip ink.  I also added a little tag using the “for you” stamp from the same set.  It is tied with Linen Thread to the handle.

This project fits the Late Night Stampers Challenge for this week – Make it from the Mini.  Speaking of the Summer Mini we are having lots of fun with the summer mini at Create with Connie & Mary – and its not too late to join us.

Thanks for stopping by!
