ANOTHER BABY PROJECT

Hello – thank you for popping by. Today I have another baby card to share.

I made this card during my Facebook Live on Wednesday.

I had planned to make a coordinating gift box but time ran away from me. So, after the Live, I made it afterwards.

I used a piece of Mint Macaron card stock measuring 12″x 10-1/2″. Along the shorter edge, I scored at 2-1/2″, 5″, 7-1/2″ and 10″. Initially I thought each side would measure 2″ but I needed it to be wider to fit the Baby Pull Toy images on the front. So instead of using one of the tag punch, I used the Detailed Trio Punch to round off the corners and the Label Me Fancy Punch to punch the slot for the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon.

The box is 9-1/2″ tall and there are lots of possible gifts to pop inside the box. What would you put inside?

Happy stamping.

ONLY FOR THOSE WITH GREEN FINGERS

Hello! How has your crafting week been so far? Thank you for popping by to see today’s project and I hope that it inspires you.

I wanted to make a 3D project using the Hey Birthday Chick Bundle.

I used Shimmery White card stock to water colour the belly band background. Balmy Blue for the sku, Granny Apple Green for the grass and Soft Suede for the soil. The Water Painters make water colouring so easy. While the ink was drying, I started the die cutting – the chicken coop/barn, the wire fence, the corn stalks and the ears of corn.

This is such a fun project to give to someone who enjoys gardening and growing their own vegetables. I thought the greeting was fun to use – if I give this to someone who likes growing their own food because I would tell them ‘you can do this’ because I know that I can’t. The sentiment is from the Forever Fern Stamp Set.

Then it was time to assemble. Using Adhesive Sheets behind the Basic Gray card stock makes securing the wire fences to the front of the band. The Acetate Card Boxes are a prefect size for the two packets of corn seeds I placed inside.

TIP: when I am forming the acetate box, I place a mini glue dot on each small flap that make up part of the bottom of the box. This secures the bottom of the box and stops the bottom flap opening.

Who would you send this green thumb gift to? I think I will send this to a demonstrator I know who does grow her own vegetables.

Happy stamping.

EASTER TREATS

Hello and thank you for popping by. I hope that you enjoyed yestarday’s post. I had such a good laugh when I realsied that I had got one of the colour for a colour challenge wrong.

Yesterday I had intended to explain why I hadn’t posted anything on Saturday. Time got away from me – I spent all of Saturday and fair amount of time on Sunday making 45 Mother’s Day cards. The Kangaroo Point Markets where I had a stall at the end of last year, is back for the first time in 2021 next Sunday. So it made sense to have a heap of cards ready so that I can plan a special Mother’s Day promotion.

I made an Easter gift box ready to give yesterday, so I thought that I’d share it with you today.

It measures 5-1/2″x 1-1/2″x 1-1/2″ and holds lots of lovely mini chocolate eggs. I used the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle and coordinating Butterfly Bijou DSP. The colours used are Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral and Just Jade.

I used some Terracotta Tile ribbon, from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack, Vanilla ribbon, from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack , and Linen Thread for the ribbon bundle on the gift box top. The ‘Happy Easter’ is from the Timeless Tulip Stamp Set. After I stamped it and trimmed the Basic White card stock, I popped it between the ribbons and the last butterfly.

I really enjoy making 3D projects and it’s been such a long time since I’ve made a box of this type – so long, that I can’t even give it a name for you. If you know, please leave me a coment. And, it is always fun to fill gift box with goodies.

What treats have you shared with family and friends over Easter?

I hope that you and your family had a peaceful Easter.

Happy stamping.
