Hexagonal Christmas Club Project

Hi all I am nearly a week last posting my project for the Christmas Club, it was Clare's challenge to make anything but a card.

I made a Hexagonal shaped basket with matching gift card.

There are a few pictures so I hope you can see what I have done.

I used Kraft card stock for both the basket, card and stamped sentiment, not sure of the papers but I used the same for the card as the basket. For the basket I added lace, Poinsettia flowers, red organza ribbon and green roses, the top of the basket and handle were punched with an EK Success border punch.

For my card I have made a 4x4 the bottom I used the same border punch as the basket, I added a Memory Box die, red gems and a stamped sentiment.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges

Christmas Stamping All Year Long - Anything goes

Party Time Tuesday's - Anything Goes plus Kraft

The tutorial for the basket is HERE

I hope that you like my project I will see you later. Hugs to all.
