Pebbles Inc. Home+Made Sweater Weather Card Set

Hello there! Are you excited for the weekend?  I know I am!  :)

 Today I have some fall themed cards to share which were featured on Pebbles blog a couple weeks ago HERE.

The challenge was "sweater weather" so with that in mind I started by creating this fun sweater vest gift card box using a variation of THIS Silhouette cutting file which I paired with Maggie Holmes adorable bow die.  The size of the bow was perfect and I love how it finished my project.

When the shallow box opens it reveals a spot to slip in a gift card.  I think this is the perfect way to present a gift card to a guy in your life who might be difficult to shop for.  ;)

Up next I have a card featuring what else?  Dog sweaters!  THIS cutting file I used was originally for dogs in Christmas sweaters, but with a little change in colors I was able to give it a more chic Parisian dog feel.  ;)

My last card started out as an argyle card because fall sweaters scream argyle to me, but as I got started it transformed into a different diamond pattern.

 Make sure to check out the tutorial on how I aligned this fun pattern at bottom of the post HERE.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  Hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy the last few nice days of Autumn.  ;)

    What did you use for the "green" part of the sweater on the gift card box?

      I'm not sure what part you are referring to. The paper is from Pebbles Home+Made 6x6 paper pad and the bow die is using the Crate Paper Maggie Holmes Styleboard die set. Both of these have been linked above in my supply list. The box and argyle were cut using a Silhouette cutting file found here: http://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/?page=view-shape&id=35378
