KEEP CLEAN & CARRY ON

Hello to each of you. I am so grateful that you take the time to pop by and see my latest project.

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

I recently purchased a small pump bottle of vanilla scented hand sanitiser and decided that I wanted to create a gift box to pop it into.

I selected this Basic Black and Cherry Cobbler checked piece of Designer Series Paper from the FREE Sale-a-bration Peaceful Prints DSP bundle.

The gift box was created using an A4 sheet of Basic Black card that then had panels of this checked DSP cut and adhered to each panel.

The greeting, from the Pansy Patch Stamp Set, was stamped onto a scrap of Cherry Cobbler card and was cut using a die from the Seasonal Layers Dies. This was cut a second time, using the same die, to make it smaller.

The Basic Black layer behind it was cut using the same die cut at full size. After they were glued together, the panels were then popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

This sentiment is perfect for the bottle of hand sanitiser!

A length of Black & White Gingham Ribbon was tied around the neck of hand sanitiser bottle and finished as a bow.

Finally, I added some Matte Black Dots to decorate thefornt of the box.

It has been a while since my last 3D project and I am so happy with this one. I think that I will take it down to the office of our apartment building tomorrow morning for visitors to use.

Until next time, happy stamping.

OOPS … I MISSED A DAY!

Hello and welcome to today’s post. I am delighted that you’re here.

I missed posting yesterday because I spent the day crafting with the Paper Angels team. Although I am not a member of the team, I have been invited to their events for the last 18 months. It is such a fun and creative day.

I made two swaps to share and received many swaps in return.

The first is one that I shared on my blog a little while ago. I thought this would be a great card to make to share in a swap.

The second swap I made was a 3D project. I was out doing grocery shopping when I found 3D cupcake gummies in the confectionery aisle and I knew they would be perfect to pop inside the Mini Jam Jars.

The cupcake from the Sweets & Treats Stamp Set was perfect for the lid of the jar. I stamped, coloured and cut the cupcake label using the Layering Circles Dies. I also used one of the scalloped circles from the set to cut a Bermuda Bay layer.

I wrapped a Bermuda Bay belly band around the jar and then added another label with the stamped sentiment.

I used Stampin’ Blends to colour some Clear Epoxy Essentials. The cupcake was also painted with Clear Wink of Stella.

Here I am with the amazing ladies I crafted with Peta, Caroline, me, Jenny, Danielle and Nicole (left to right).

As you can see, there was also an amzing display of projects shared by five team members.

One of things we do for the event is to make a name tag that reflects the training day theme – Treat Yourself/Gingerbread & Peppermint.

To Bec, Anna and Liz – thank you for inviting me and allowing me to be an adoptee of your teams. It was an amazing day and I met such amazing ladies.

Until next time, happy stamping.

CHOCOLATE TIME!

Hello and welcome to my latest project share. I am so pleased that you taken the time to pop by.

Today’s project is a simple 3D gift box. It was designed to hold a lovely, large block of Whittaker’s Hazelnut chocolate.

The gold and dark brown colours of the chocolate packaging inspired the colours used for the gift box.

I used 12″x 12″ Early Espresso cardstock, Gold Brushed Metallic cardstock, Gold Shimmer Vellum and White Vellum. The flip top gift box was constructed first. Then the top and sides of the box had slightly smaller pieces of Brushed Metallic cardstock secured.

A piece of Early Espresso cardstock was stamped using greetings from the Nothing’s Better Than Stamp Set – ‘Today’s Plan: Consume’ and ‘ Because Adulting is Hard’. This peice was then embossed using the checks from the Checks & Dots Embossing Folder.

A matching length of Gold Shimmer Vellum was cut using one of the Basic Borders Dies. It was adhered to the embossed Early Espresso layer. Then a piece of White Vellum attached as well. Black Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to pop this layered panel in the centre of the gift box top.

The ‘Chocolate’ was cut using one of the Love You More Than Dies. A piece Adhesive Sheet was attached to the back of the foil before cutting.

Several stamped and die cut chocolates were also added to the top of the gift box.

Finally, a length of Early Espresso Faux Suede Trim was tied around the gift box to hold the lid in place.

mmm … it is a very tasty looking block of chocolate!

Who would you give this to?

Until next time, happy stamping.
