Another challenge my card making group had is to use some packaging to make a card. Now I received this shampoo that came in a box for my birthday quite a few years ago but I always thought the image on it was cute so I saved it, well now was my chance to use it.
Isn't she cute, I carefully cut the box with my die and it worked really well, used same die for a mat, had to have a bow to go with the one in her hair and stamped the sentiment on a piece of paper that I had stamped a background on that was in my scrap box.
Here is a picture of the box before I took it apart and cut it out with my die.

My Favorite things - Cross stitch Rectangle die
Prima -- paper
Spellbinders - A2 matting basics A and circle delight dies
Making memories - Perfect Pink Ribbon
Stamps of life - postmarks2stamp sentiment
Do you ever save packaging that you like? Then find a way to use it :)
Thanks for stopping by today,
Connie
