Our challenge for this month was to use the color black and our favorite color. Well, I really don't have a favorite color. But since getting on this Cricut obsession I do like really bright green. So that is the color I chose to do my project with. I think it really pops against the dark black.
I decided to make a giftcard holder using a recycled TP roll. I know I have seen this on someone's blog, but for the life of me I can't remember who's it was. So thank you for the inspiration.
I used my Gypsy & Cricut to design & create this project.
Wrap It Up Cartridge- Football
Tags, Bags, Boxes, & More Cartridge - Stamp, Background, & Tag Shape
TP Roll flattened with the Cuttlebug & covered with black cardstock
I used my Corner Chomper to round the corners of the covered TP Roll.
I glued one end of the TP Roll closed & sealed the edge with a crimper.
My Pink Stamper Stamp Set - Sport-tastic
The next stop on the hop is: Julie - ReadySetStamp
Thanks for looking. Questions & comments are always welcomed. Lori

Wow, I'm the first to comment. That's never happened before. Very brilliant idea on this. I'm guessing TP Roll is "toilet paper" roll. Don't shoot me if it's not. Still love the craft you made. Smooches... scrapperinthemaking.blogspot.com
