Beautiful Autumn Gift Box for The Spot #135. Are you ready for our next challenge? This time we are sharing projects with the Theme ‘Plant Kindness, Harvest Love. For my project I have embraced being ‘Grateful’ with my little box and tag project.
I mentioned yesterday that the Team has been holding a Bingo event, but for projects. Craftoberfest has a game board with 16 different techniques, products etc. The idea has been to make projects that match either one or two of these squares and then post them in the Team Room. One of these was to use your least favourite colour. Sorry Cajun Craze, this is you!
I rarely use Cajun Craze, other than in the Autumn for seasonal projects. Other than these types of project, it is rare that I will pull this colour out, but the Glided Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper uses this to its absolute best. The paper I chose is Cajun Craze, but with the addition of Gold Foiling that is a pattern reflecting the layers on a pinecone.
Although I really do not like Cajun Craze, this paper is amazing and I am loving using it, especially for boxes and similar. I managed to make this box and tick off the Least Favourite Colour AND make it in such a way that I could use it as my project for this week’s The Spot Challenge.
I used the Beautiful Autumn bundle and Fancy Tag to make the Tag. The sentiment is stamped in Cajun Craze and, to tie everything in, I coloured the Very Vanilla Gold Edged Ribbon with the Dark Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blend. I looped the ribbon into the tag to attach it to the box.
To see the other Design Team Projects, and to enter, please click the image at the top of this post, or HERE. There are some amazing projects to have a look at, so I can highly recommend having a look. I also have an alternative version to share with you on the video. To see that (also using a ‘not favourite’ colour!) you will need to watch the video.
