Golf - On the Green

Below is a picture of a golf gift that I created.
I filled the test tube with golf tees and made a holder on each side for a golf ball.

Products Used:
On the Green Stamp
Always Artichoke Ink
CS - Whisper White, Always Artichoke, Bravo Burgundy, and Sahara Sand
Punches - 1 3/8 circle, 3/4 circle
Whisper White 3/8 Taffeta ribbon
Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder

Below are the basic measurements that I used.  If you have further questions, ask away!  I am not the best at writing up instructions.

If you are holding the sheet horizontal, do the following:

Score 1" from top and 1" from bottom
Starting at the right, score at the following: 1", 3", 4", 6".
I then cut out the 5x1" sections for the top part.
I cut a slit in folds on the sides to fold them in.
So you end up with the holder dimensions being 1" tall, 2" deep, and 6.5" wide. And then the back being 5" tall
The burgundy strip on the front is 3/4x 6.5.
The sahara sand back mat is 3.5 x 6
The mats on the stamped pieces are 2x2.75
The burgundy strip in the background is 6.5x.75.
And then the stamped images I just eyeballed.

The idea of the holder came from the blog below and I just modified it to be large and to have a back.

Christmas DVD Case

I have lots of Christmas shares for today. While experimenting with the bird punch this is the other item I created a while back.  It is a clear dvd case I decorated and created a wreath with the wing.

Christmas Poinsettia Cards

I was experimenting with the bird punch and made two poinsettia cards with the wing.  They are both done in Cherry Cobbler.  It is amazing how the accent colors have such an impact on the deepness of the red.

Decor Elements

At convention they showed some very cute ideas of making inexpensive gifts for the holiday season.  You could add a bag of candy to the mug and fill the plates with holiday baked goods.  I purchased the plates for under a $1 and simply added the decor elements. 

Birthday card share

I have been back in Kansas City this past week and haven't had time to do much creating or sharing.  Below is a card I made a few weeks back.  Hope you enjoy! 

Halloween Card Share

I used the Dark and Dreary stamp set with the new DSP paper and Raven Lace.
