For this months Papertrey Ink Design Team group post we were asked to create a fun ensemble using Star Prints (available May 15th. I decided to create a graduation set since we are getting close to that time of year... it's just next month! I also wanted it to be semi rustic or even masculine... even though I would give this to either a boy or a girl.
My personal goal was to create something that was easily duplicatable... since I have more than 10 additional sets to make!
I loved the idea of using all of these neutral colors together. Aren't these different star patterns fun!
I used Fresh Alphabet and Let Freedom Ring (also available May 15th) to embellish and pull the concept together.
Lauren's Get a Handle on It Template was just the size that I needed too.... a really quick and easy resource. The fact that you can re-use it forever makes it even better!
I'm planning on making several of these and customizing each gift according to gender. The box is the perfect size for a new tie or Scarf. One of my favorite things to give a graduate is a sewing kit... it seems trivial but when it comes down to it they really need one if they are headed to college.
I'm sure you will be even more inspired by the rest of the team...I know I'm in AWE! Check it out!
