Challenges by AR: Something Sporty

I’m the host for the latest challenge at Challenges by AR. I asked the team to create “Something Sporty” using Adela’s templates.

Here’s my creation using images from Clear and Simple Stamps. I made a gift ensemble that would be perfect to give to a coach at the end of a team’s season. I started by making the Pillow Box Hanger template from kraft cardstock. Since I used cardstock instead of patterned paper for the template, I made an insert for the inside from some star patterned paper.

I used the same patterned paper on the front of the pillow box and added some stamped accents using the Alpha Varsity and MVP stamp sets. The template’s the perfect size to hold a few tiny gifts—in this case, an energy bar, some energy drink mix packets, and a whistle. There’s still room to squeeze in a gift card, too.

I made a matching card to go along with the pillow box. To tie the pieces together, I used the same colors and embellishments, including the twill tape and the whistle image. The sentiment says, “Thank you for a great season.”
