Happy Holidays! It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, popping in on the blog to share the Christmas Penguin gift set I made using three of Lori’s files: Gift Card Box Penguin (SVG, Silhouette), Christmas Tag Penguin 2 (SVG, Silhouette), and Christmas Card Penguin (SVG, Silhouette). Lori debut these adorable penguins along with several other cards, tags, and gift boxes a couple of weeks ago, and I knew I had to use them for my holiday gift giving!
I used accents and patterned papers from Lori’s A Lumberjack Christmas collection from Echo Park Paper, Co to make the card and gift card box. For the card, I used a double-sided patterned paper, which made it a little difficult to write a message inside the card. I knew I needed a solid colored insert, so I cut an extra card base from white cardstock to serve as the inside layer of the card. I added a Merry Christmas sticker to the front of the card as well.
For the gift card box, I used a mix of patterned papers along with a chipboard accent. I was sure how to assemble the top pop-up to the box, but Lori’s tutorial provided all the instruction I needed to finish putting my box together. I really like that this file contains a gift box as well to hold the entire project when it’s complete. Simply add a ribbon and you’re ready with a gift that’s SUPER CUTE!!
Finally, I created the adorable penguin tag and added a Merry Christmas sticker to the front. I paired the tag with a buffalo plaid gift bag to complete my gift set. I think my recipient is going to love the personalized touch!
Well, that’s it for me today! I’m off to enjoy Christmas Eve with my family. Happy Holidays:)
Until next time,
Michelle
