Gift Holder - Crafting with Dragonflies Challenge

This is the 2nd week of Crafting with Dragonflies' Gift Card Holder Challenge. I made a money holder, but I wanted to share another version of a Gift holder that I made for my Mom's birthday:


I based the design on my parents' house in Arizona. The window was cut srom a shiny white Core'Daintions' cardstock using the Conservatory Window die from Sizzix/Susan's Garden. I made the shrinky-dink hummingbirds on the front with a Kaisercraft set. I decorated the card with two green felt ribbons and some mulberry flowers. I used bright green Liquid Pearls for the centers of the flowers.

I bought my Mom this Hummingbird die by Dee's Distinctively from the SweetStamps shop. I used the die-cuts to decorate the card, and then presented it as a gift on the inside:


I made a simple pop-up with a green cardstock and a pocket with patterned paper to hold the package.

The quail were cut with a Cheery Lynn die that I also bought at SweetStamps. I had originally planned on gifting Mom this set as well, but we both loved it so much I bought my own!

I'm entering this project into the following Challenges:
Craft Your Passion: Use something Transparent (Clear Shrinky-dink plastic for the tiny hummingbirds)
Lawnscaping: Critters
My Craft Creations: Always Anything Goes


Thank you for visiting, and hope you'll join us at Crafting with Dragonflies,

  3. Beautiful composition and use of dies. The colours really pop next to the window and neutral background. The tiny hummies are a sweet detail. Bet your mom loved it. Thanks for joining our I Can See Clearly Now Challenge at Craft Your Passion this week. I hope we see you again soon.
