MR McGREGOR NEEDS SEEDS FOR HIS GARDEN

Today is Thursday and that usually means it is time for a 3D project.

I decided to use the Pocket Thoughts Dies to make a small envelope to hold some packets of seeds.

The pocket envelope base was made using Old Olive card. After assembling the base I cut and trimmed two panels of the DSP and adhered them to the front and back of the envelope ‘box’.

I stamped and coloured 4 sets of pots before die cutting them. One was added to the back of the box. For the front, one of the set of pots was stamped with a greeting and then partially coloured. The remaining two were coloured in the same way as thepots on the back of the box.

The envelope gift box holds three to four seed satchets very easily.

This makes a great gift for any green thumbed friend.

Tomorrow I have a lovely blue card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

TIME TO SHARE SOMETHING THIS SATURDAY

Today I want to share another project that I made this week.

It is a gift box that uses the Book Treat Boxes as a base.

Each pack contains 10 stampable boxes.
When folded each box measures 3″ x 4″ x 1″ (7.6 x 10.2 x 2.5 cm) and is food safe.

For the top of the box, I used several die cut elements, from the Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper pack, to add layers of decoration.

The first element was one of the floral/leaf wreaths that had a greeting stamped inside the inner circle. The greeting was from tbe Unbounded Beauty Stamp Set and was stamped in Pretty Peacock.

I added small magnets to the tab and inside the box lid to help create a secure ‘lock’.

The tab was decorated with several layered elements.

I added some of the DSP and Petal Pink card to the sides of the inner box section.

To finish the gift box I created a “Tammy bow” – I coloured a very, long length of Iridescent Striped Trim with the Dark Petal Pink Blends pen and cut it in half lengthwise.

Once the bow was folded and tied off, I secured it using a Mini Glue Dot.

Finally, I added some of the Lost Lagoon gems from the Facted Gems Trio Pack. These added that little bit of bling needed to complete this project.

Monday will bring a new collection of products to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

THURSDAY MEANS THAT IT IS TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

Today’s 3D project was inspired by one of the die-cut frames that I found in the Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper pack.

The box measures 5 3/8″ (L) x 4 1/8″ (W) x 2″ (D).

The box has a Lost Lagoon base and a Petal Pink lid.

I took a panel of Lost Lagoon card and embossed it with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.

A 24″ length of Petal Pink ribbon, from the Diagonal Trim Combo Pack, was secured to the base of the box and then tied in a bow at the upper, right-hand side of the box.

The embossed panel was then adhered to the box lid with Multipurpose Glue.

The frame had Stampin’ Dimensionals added so that it could sit up above the embossed panel.

the greeting, from the Softly Said Stamp Set, was stamped in Lost Lagoon and cut using the largest square, from the Stylish Shapes Dies set. After cutting the square the die was repositioned to cut the square down to a rectangle.

The final touch was to add some of the Lost Lagoon gems, from the Faceted Gems Trio Pack, to add a little bling.

tomorrow I have a new fun fold card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
