Packaging

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.


Image from box of shampoo
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

Oh, my gosh!! Such an adorable, sweet, colorful, charming image and you used it beautifully on your card! Something so pretty just can't be tossed out, so thank goodness you recycled it and will send someone joy with your card. Beautiful paper, and love the sentiment stamp and gingham ribbon.
