I really haven't had a chance to use the new Post & Parcel kit - but I have big plans for it in 2017! I just have to get started making things earlier (and hope PTI doesn't come out with a kit that I like more).😬 I needed to make a gift card holder and decided to use the mailbox from the P&P kit after watching Betsy Veldman's video and all the wonderful things she made.
I used Pure Poppy cardstock for the front and back, covering the front with a pretty pattern paper. I die-cut the top in Spring Rain cardstock, cutting a slit in it so I could easily slide the gift card into it. And look at the cute little lock I added in Pure Poppy cardstock and tied with white crochet thread!
Merry Christmas is stamped in Pure Poppy ink on a banner die-cut in Spring Rain cardstock; it's on fun foam for dimension. I added punched out snowflakes with a clear sequin in the middle.
For the gift card, I die-cut the large postage die in white cardstock and adhered it with a couple of glue dots. I think everything is so color coordinated and since it's a snowman, the snowflakes were the perfect addition! I placed the tag in a cellophane bag with snowflakes on it and made a matching little gift tag to tie at the top. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the finished project.😞
