It's Time for Feature Friday's Challenge - This week make a 3 Piece gifts set that contains 3-D items in it!!!

Happy Friday Everyone!!!!

I am so excited this week it was my turn to pick the Feature Friday Challenge with The Character Cafe Design Team!!!!  We only get to do this once in our 6 month term so hope I do a good job on it!!!

Every Friday we have Feature Fridays and each week one of the DT girls issues the challenge to half the team, the other half the team head out to Blog/Stamp land and find a challenge to play in!!!  How fun right???  So Kendra and Kelly issued me a 3-D challenge and I choose to make it a 3 Piece Gift Set with at least one of the items being 3-D, they could all be 3-D or just one of them, but one of the 3 pieces had to be 3-D.

So this week on the Challenge Team for my Challenge we have these girls playing along:

Angie...Deanne...Diane...Piali...Rachel....Heather (Me)

This set of girls headed out to Blog/Stamp world and found a challenge of their own they have posts up to though so don't forget to go to their blogs and check them out as well!!!

Heather (That's Me)

I decided to make a 3 piece gift set based on the card I did for last weeks new release Blog Hop using my Santa's List Image and my Christmas Ali Image.   I also took some inspiration off of what my neighbor and I have been doing all week preparing for a Craft Show at the Hospital I used to work for and we made 15 Dozen Home Made (100 times better than store bought) Chocolate Covered Cherries, 10 dozen Orange Cream Patties, and the best Pepermint Bark I have ever had!!  So my Basket is one of the Baskets we made to sell at the Craft Show it has 6 Chocolate Covered Cherries and 4 Orange Cream Patties in it.  I have not decided what I want to put in the Tote/Treat Box I made, and the Card is just like the card I made for last weeks Blog Hop Have you been Naughty or Nice Card.

I forgot to take a picture of all 3 items together but I got the two treat holders and my card seperately

Below are the stages of how I made the Larger Treat Box

Take a solid 12 x 12 piece of Card Stock and score it at 4" and 8" on all four sides The score the corners diagonally then take the patterned paper and create this pattern Top picture inside of box bottom picture outside of box.

Add eyelets to each triangle piece of PP and then take 24" of twine, ribbon, or twill and run it through the eyelets and tie a bow and you have your treat box so cool hungh???

Several of the Baskets with Cherries and Orange Cream Patties in them.  For some reason Teal and Tourqouise Card Stock never photographs well.  the Teal Baskets are a really rich royal teal color here they look really muted!!!!

Chocolate Covered Cherries packaged in 3's no Basket.
I think it is so cool that without knowing anything about each others projects we all went with way different images and way different projects I love these girls the talent on this team is just simply AMAZING!!!!
