This week’s blogger challenge theme is gifts. I created a pretty winter themed necklace with a coordinating gift box using stamps and dies from Clear and Simple Stamps.
The charm on the necklace is made from a piece of cork. I painted it with several coats of shiny silver acrylic paint. After the paint dried, I stamped one of the snowflakes from the Flurry Days set on the cork using teal ink. The back of the cork circle is covered with a circle of white felt for a finished look. I attached a tiny screw eye to the side of the cork pieced and used that to hang the finished piece from a simple silver chain.
I made a matching box for the necklace using CSS’s Party Favor 15 die. I cut the pillow box from teal cardstock and stamped the “a gift for you” sentiment from the Duly Noted set under the box’s flap. After putting the necklace inside, I added a silver snowflake, die cut with one of the Flurries Combo dies and dressed up with a clear crystal at its center, to the front of the flap to match the necklace.
Materials Used:
Flurry Days and Duly Noted stamp sets, Party Teal Dawn ink, Party Teal Dawn and Sterling Silver cardstock, Flurries Combo and Party Favor 15 dies, Simple Adhesive (Clear and Simple Stamps); Metallic Silver acrylic paint (AC Moore); clear crystal (Michaels); cork; jewelry findings; screw eye; foam tape
