The challenge this week at www.heart2heartchallenges.blogspot.com this week is leaves and trees. It sparked a great idea on how to present these fall lip balms to friends, family or teachers. I cut the leaf shape from the Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge using Close To My Heart cardstock in various shades of brown and then embossed them all in different folders with my Cuttlebug. An emery board helped me reveal the white core of the cardstock. I swiped various shades of CTMH ink over the leaves-brown bag, cocoa, goldrush. To attach the lip balm tubes, I punched 2 holes in the center of the leaves, put a glue dot on the back of the tube for extra hold and tied a ribbon through the holes. The tags are just scraps of cardstock that are stamped with various sentiments and leaves from the following CTMH sets: Flourished Blessings, Timeless and our current Petite Perk stamps. Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy!
