PRIZE: $15 GIFT CARD
The design team could choose any image or cut file for their project, so I chose this gorgeous Layered Christmas Ornament and Bow cut file. Here is what I created:
I was in need of some presents for my purple-loving work besties, so I got to work choosing glitter and shimmer cardstocks and regular cardstocks to go with them. For some, I didn't have cardstock to match, so I busted out some Distress inks in regular and Oxides to make my own papers. That would be the lightest layers on the first 2 ornaments. For the third one, I just chose a silver shimmer paper to add to the mix. I made 2 of each, for a total of 6. That way, I could give them each a set.
My last day of work for the year (YAY!) was this past Wednesday (thanks in part to some inclement weather on Thursday), so I have already given them to my besties, and they loved them! This cut file was very nice to work with, and I love that it gives me that layered look that some of those expensive dies have, for much cheaper! Thank you, Alex for the pretty cut file! Oh, and I didn't get the chance to add the bow, although I would have loved to!
