Girls Camp Secret Sister Gifts (Day 2)

Another day of secret-sister gifts at our LDS girls camp will surprise our recipients with body wash and a pink feather boa.  Yes, a feather boa.  The body wash samples and the boas were more donations that are great for a small girly gift. You can read about the first round of gifts here.

The body wash samples came in a clever little envelope whose sides need to be squeezed to release the bottle.  I didn’t want to change that, so I used some flocked paper to cover it up.  I love the soft flocked My Mind’s Eye Lush paper, but my Silhouette Cameo did not.  I made a photocopy of the envelope and traced it in Silhouette Studio so I could get the perfect little cutout for the bottle.  That part worked great, but the flocked paper filled my blade housing with flock so quickly while cutting that I was pausing it and unscrewing the blade cap every 15 seconds just to get it to continue cutting most of the way through.  I blame the paper, not my machine.

I also covered the back side of the envelope with the polka-dot flocked paper, but I used a paper trimmer and corner rounder to save me from more aggravation.

The crown is my own design, which you can download here. It’s a page ready to print & cut on your Silhouette machine so you can fill it with color and/or text (don’t forget to turn off cut lines for the text), or just turn off the registration marks and cut as many as you need.

The poem reads:

(My clever brother-in-law helped me with that one.  Thanks, Jeremy!)

Total cost for 18 of these was under a dollar for the paper (I found a really good clearance deal), and the body wash and boas were donated.
