LadyBug Gift Card Holder!

Hello bloggers! Just in case you missed it, I did post the winner of my blog candy this evening.

This cute little ladybug gift card is a project I whipped up for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog's Challenge this week. The Challenge was to create a box or bag and include the color black on the project. I originally thought I would use black as the base color and red as an accent color but then I discovered I was out of full black cardstock pages! (Can you imagine??!!) SO, I did the next best thing. I created a cute little Ladybug! I used the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge to make my gift card holder box (matchbox cuts at 5inches) in yellow cardstock. Then I cut the ladybug from the Create a Critter cartridge at 3inches. I cut the base in black and using the layers function cut the ladybugs body using red paper. I faux stitched around the red layer and around the spots for added detail. I popped up the layer so it sits up above the bottom layer.

I used a "Happy Birthday" stamp using Moonlight white ink on black cardstock and doodled around the edge with a white opaque pen. Once I assembled the box, I doodled around the top edge with a black fine tip marker, added my ladybug, sentiment and black/white ribbon to the slide out "drawer". Now all it needs is a gift to put inside!
