CSAYL - Special You

It's gift giving time at CSAYL. This week we are challenging you to create a gift set - a package with matching card.  For me, that means creating my own packaging with a template from Perfect Presentation, which is also happens to be our sponsor this week. 

Perfect Presentation has both printable pdf templates as well as cutting files at great prices!  Plus, the owner is super sweet :>)

I have not created a matching set in quite awhile, so I was excited to see this challenge. 
Don't be intimidated!!!
a - templates are easy and fun to work with
b - the results are a polished classy "Perfect Presentation"
c - head to SCS for tutorials on making boxes if you do not yet own any templates or
d - as an alternative create your own wrapping paper or gift bag

My card is based on Viva La Verve's April week #1 sketch.

I stamped on the cream cs and then embossed.  I wanted just a bit of texture, so after the embossing folder I ran it thru my cuttlebug a second time but outside of the folder.

 

Here is your chance to get a jump on your Christmas gift giving and win a template from Perfect Presentation!   Check out all the details to the challenge HERE.  Don't forget to check out the rest of the DT's creations for more inspiration.

Julie
