A Little Taste of Home

Hello and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion! 
Hi Everyone and Happy Friday!
I have a quick project to share with you today using My Craft Spot's stamp set from the latest release called Bon Appetite. This is a GREAT stamp set to have in your craft room! Check it out HERE~ A lot of possibilities!
Okay, so I purchased this yummy loaf of bread from a friend of mine whose Mother makes homemade bread and it is to die for!!!
Anyway, I have a friend at work who hasn't been feelin' all that great and thought it would be fun to send over a fresh loaf of homemade bread. So, I decided instead of giving it to her in just the plastic bag, I would dress it up a bit:)
Here is what I did:
I made a belly wrap using brown card stock that measures 3 x 17 1/4 when done. I did the same with the pattern paper-that measures 2 1/2 by 17 1/4 and adhered it together at the seams. The oval is a Spellbinders Floral Oval which I embossed with the  paisley embossing folder for texture. I then cut the next label and scalloped frame from the Art Philosophy cartridge at 2 1/4 which I inked with TH frayed burlap and then added small rhinestones.
I heat embossed the sentiment which was stamped with My Craft Spot's Bon Appetite stamp set. I added felt flower buttons and tied a sheer bow on. I also tied on some tulle and brown crinkle ribbon bow to the top of the bread bag for finished look.
I also made a matching card to go with the homemade bread. The card base is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and the base layer at 4 x 5 1/4. I cut the little squares at 2 x 2 1/2, inking all the edges with TH frayed burlap. I then stitched them onto the base layer....yeah, did you see that?? Yay, for me!! Finally, using my sewing machine! Thanks to Jessica for the inspiration! 
I cut a panel for the center of the card and layered these pretty leaves on it which were cut at 1 3/4 and 2 1/4 from the Art Philosophy cartridge.
I stamped this sentiment with My Craft Spot's Bon Appetite stamp set also, tied on a pretty sheer bow and added some rhinestones.
 I also had a few challenges in mind when putting this together!
1.) Pumpkin Spice Challenge #40 Green & Brown
2.) Jo's Scrap Shack Challenge #20 Sketch challenge
3.) Bitten by the Bug 2 Fall Leaves are Fall leaf cut using Art Philosophy cart
4.) My Sheri Crafts Challenge #120 Stitch Time-include sewing
Thanks so much for stopping and have a GREAT weekend!!

  16. What a beautiful, thoughtful, yummy gift! Homemade bread is just the best and you have packaged it up so sweetly! Love the Spellbinders label you created (with the perfect sentiment). The ribbon, tulle and felt flowers are such pretty accents. And, your card is just gorgeous - I love the stitching! This sweet gift came together beautifully and I know it will be appreciated. I hope you have a great weekend my friend ♥

  17. What a wonderful gift idea!! I loveeeeeee how you dressed it up!!! LOVING the colors!!!!

  18. Oh my goodness! My dear friend, I absolutely love this gift set! The way you dressed up the bread is so beautiful... the embossed Floral Oval is spectacular. ( I have never thought to emboss that!) I adore heat-embossed sentiments, so my eyes instantly gravitated to that. Such a lovely pop of texture. The card is equally lovely in design and detail... and your sewing is indeed fabulous. I never venture beyond a straight-stitch. I'm too wiggly! ;) Such a sweet idea this is and I know it will help heal her up quickly. Stunning gift, Sherrie! I hope you have a weekend as lovely as YOU! :o)

    Hugs and blessings!
