Happy November, Friends! Today Magnolia-licious is celebrating our
traditional Holiday Blog Hop with 2
chances to win a $50 gift certificate from Magnolia-licious. Instructions and
details are at the end of this post.
If you arrived here from Barbara GR’s blog…then you are on the
right track. If you need to start at the beginning all you have to do is go
back to the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog and the post line up is available there.
By the way, have you seen the
Disney movie Frozen that was released last year about this time? I loved it and
watched it with our grandson in our home theater when it was published on DVD.
I swear, he picks up the lyrics to every song in the movie so quickly…LOL
Honestly, this Holiday Gift Basket was created last spring with
Frozen in mind and it was featured in CardMaker Magazine’s 2014 Holiday Special Issue this season…on NEWS stands now. I am so proud…hehehe.
As one of the “Pretty Packaging” section’s projects of the
Magazine’s holiday spread I created an original design I call the Pleated
Holiday Gift Basket.
I developed my basket with a pleat/mountain
valley type fold technique. If you are interested in the instructions please
email me and I will send them to you.
I also created a keepsake
ornament that goes with the gift basket using the same supplies but adding a
few details.
The ornament is a shaker design
and so simple to assemble. I used some inspiring ideas from Papertrey Ink for
my ornament.
Here’s a shot from the back of
the basket. I included Magnolia snowflake die cuts for my Frozen theme.
