High Hopes Guest DT

So my other big news I've been asked to be a guest DT for High Hopes, I love their stamps. My first challenge on the High Hopes blog is to make anything but a card. My heart sank . I'm not very good at being that original and I didn't just want to make a box. So I trawled through the Wide World Web and found a Bottle Tote by Kitty Franke. It just cried out for a trio of ducks but two sides meant six ducks
Duckprints wandering along two sides too,
A label for the one you love, I already know who I'm giving this box to, unfortunately the bottle of wine is for demo purposes only, since its mine, I will get some cheap red plonk to replace it.
I didn't think a card handle would hold so I decided to use ribbon and using an eyelet to strengthen the hole for the ribbon.
Just in case you missed the duck prints this is just one side, all stamped, coloured and cut out, before placing them on the box.
I'm really pleased how this turned out and from now on, I shall be making my own bottle boxes/bags but no more duck prints. Here's the pdf file from Scor-pal for the wine tote here.
I had a great day at my Sis she was experiementing with a couple of recipes she saw on GMTV, have to say they were fab.

Claire said...

This is really cute and must have took an age to make! LOL - I make take a look at the PDF file, would love to make by own bottle / gift bags - but they seem so time consuming and like you tend to stick with cards or scrapbooking! Hugs, Claire x
