Amuse Studio Consultant Challenge - Twill

Amuse Studio issued a Consultant Challenge to all of us Creative Consultants to use Twill in our project.  My entry includes two wrapped gifts using Amuse Studio Twill.  On the white box I simply used our 7/8" French Roast Twill to wrap into a bow around the package.  I also used Amuse Studio French Roast Baker's Twine as well as a Merry Christmas Greeting from Vintage Holiday Greetings. 

On the kraft box I combined the Cherry Satin ribbon with Amuse Studio 3/8" Vanilla twill.  I stamped the greeting and also used a snowflake border to finish the look.  A couple of jingle bells and the package is wrapped & ready to go under the tree!


Amuse Studio Twill is in the Ho Ho Holiday Sale thru December 16th.

Amuse Studio Gift Card Die Insert

 I saw these gift cards the other day while I was out & about.  I love the vintage look of the Santa & the Snowman especially!  I got out my Amuse Studio supplies and I was determined to come up with a cute presentation for these adorable gift cards.  I decided to make a flat panel card to best showcase the gift cards.  I used my Amuse Studio Gift Card Die Insert which I was surprised worked quite well even with these shaped gift cards as opposed to your standard rectanglar gift card.  I used a glue dot on the back of the gift cards to keep them in place since a couple of them I wasn't able to use the top tab because I didn't want to cover up any of the detail of the gift card. 



I made the flat panel card size to fit Amuse Studio's Large Glassine Envelopes (#PAEGLS2) which measure 3 1/2' x 6".  I love how these turned out!
