THURSDAY MEANS THAT IT IS TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

Today I have two cute 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ gift boxes to share with you.

After seeing the larger of the rounded square dies, when I first explored the Peaceful Season Dies, I knew that I wanted to use it to create a 3D project.

The Season of Elegance 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper matches the Gold Foil and gold Textured Metallic Specialty Paper perfectly.

The first box uses the Gold Foil Specialty Paper and the Cherry Cobbler/Gold paper from the DSP.

I cut 5 of the large rounded squares and adhered four of them to the sides of the gift box.

For the lid, I threaded a length of the Cherry Cobbler/Gold Satin Ribbon through the fifth rounded square and tied a bow. This was then attached to the lid with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The smaller, rounded square was stamped with the seasonal greeting and heat embossed in gold.

The second box uses the gold Textured Metallic Specialty Paper and the Basic Beige/Gold paper from the DSP.

I cut 5 of the large rounded squares and adhered four of them to the sides of the gift box.

For the lid, I threaded a length of the Basic Beige Bordered Ribbon through the fifth rounded square and tied a bow. This was then attached to the lid with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The smaller, rounded square was stamped with the seasonal greeting and heat embossed in gold.

The new WOW Embossing Powder is amazing!

I was so pleased with the way the ribbon was easily threaded through the die cut rounded squares.

These gift boxes are great for storing Lindt chocolates!

I have another Christmas card to share with you tomorrow.

Until then, happy stamping.

TIME TO SHARE MY COLOUR INKSPIRATION CI#173 PROJECT

The latest Colour INKspiration challenge is such a great colour combination.

For my project I chose the More Than Autumn Bundle.

The Very Vanilla cardbase had a Cherry Cobbler layer and an embossed Shy Shamrock later adhered to it.

I used the So Swirly Embossing Folder to create the texture on the Shy Shamrock layer.

Then all the fun started – three lattes stamped, die cut and coloured. And five stamped, die cut and coloured donuts.

After positioning these tasty morsels across the front of the card I added thedie cut words. It was so easy to place them on the card because I used Adhesive Sheet behind the Very Vanilla card.

I took a length of Silver & White Sheer Ribbon, coloured it with Light Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend, cut it down into strands and tied a bow. After popping a Mini GLue Dot behind the bow, I placed it on Cherry Cobbler coffee cup.

I stamped, cut and coloured additional donuts for the card insert and back of the envelope.

Finally, I coloured some Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels using the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend pen and placed them on the card.

Make sure that you head over to the Colour INKspiration Facebook page to see what the rest of the design team have created, as well as all the projects shared by other crafters.For Colour INKspiration, see you again in two weekswith a new challenge.

WELL, WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEDNESDAY? TIME FOR A STAMPIN’ UP! UPDATE

This week’s update is all about two new kits.

Kits Collection by Stampin’ Up! is all about making crafting fun, accessible, and inclusive! Click on any of the three images below to order your kit fro my online store.

The first of these new kits is the Card Keeper Kit.

This kit comes with everything you need to make 10 beautiful all-occasion cards. With a variety of sentiments, you can create an assortment of cards fit for birthdays, saying thanks, and more. And don’t miss the coordinating card container! This cute storage option is the perfect solution for keeping these all-occasion cards organised and ready to go

The second of these new kits is a Christmas Ornaments Kit.

This craft kit comes with everything you need to make 9 beautiful Christmas ornaments, including precut paper greenery, pinecones, bright berries, and festive details. Whether you gift it to a friend or keep it for yourself, this kit is the perfect solution for quick and easy Christmas crafting projects.


If the Christmas Ornaments Kit has put you in the Christmas mood, then you should like today’s Christmas card.

After preparing the Cherry Cobbler cardbase, I created the Gold Foil and Designer Series Paper layers.

I die cut three small rounded squares and one large one. These are in the Peaceful Seasons Dies pack.

The three smaller squares had a length of Cherry Cobbler & Gold Satin Ribbon threaded through them. Then the squares were positioned on the foil and DSP layers using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The ribbon was then tucked under the back of the panel and secured with Teat and Tape.

These layers were then adhered to the cardbase with Multipurpose Glue.

I die cut the larger square and stamped the Christmas greeting onto it with Mossy Meadow ink. Then I trimmed back the right hand side of the die cut piece. This piece was then positioned on the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The Peaceful Evergreens Dies have four dies that can be used to create a gorgeous bow. I have created three bows to posiotn on the three smaller squares that have already been attached to the card front.

The card insert and back of the envelope have both had more of the DSP attached.

For a final touch, three small gold pearls, from the Blooming Pearls embellishments, have also been added to the card front.

Tomorrow I have a 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
