I have gone for simple shapes & bright colours:-
I was inspired by Just Add Ink's recent challenge to use chipboard, so I created the arrows from multiple layers of cardstock which were stuck together after die-cutting. To get the arrow shape, I used the cute little house die from SU's holiday catalogue, by simply trimming off the chimney! :) It was the perfect size for the sentiments from the Remembering Your Birthday set, which have been stamped in versamark & white embossed.
I had so much fun making this card, that I decided to make a matching treat holder to also play along with the current SUO Challenge which is to "Make it Geometrical!" I decided to use a cylinder as my 3D geometric shape:-
I used all the same supplies, plus my trusty 1.3/8" circle punch to create the tube ends. Once completed, I glued one end so that it remains on the tube & the other end has a small ribbon loop attached to it, so the recipient knows which end to remove to access the goodies! :)
Here are the card & treat holder together:-
& here is a pic showing of the projects as well as die-cuts of the house, so you can see how I trimmed the chimney off!
If you want to see the die in action as an actual house, check out Christine's gorgeous creations here.
You can also see how I used another house framelit here.
