SNAILED IT GIFT CARDS

Hello to each of you – my wonderful crafters who pop by to see what I have been up to. I truly appreciate that you do.

After sharing my 3″x 3″ HEY CHICK and HEY BIRTHDAY CHICK GIFT CARDS BOX on Monday, I decided to make a similar collection using the SNAILED IT BUNDLE – the SNAILED IT STAMP SET and coordinating SNAIL DIES.

These 3-1/8″x 3-1/8″ ACETATE CARD BOXES are very useful. They can fit four cards and envelopes easily. My previous project had eight gift cards, so the envelopes were placed behind the box and secured with a twine bow.

For this box of gift cards, I used White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon to finish off the presentation. The ribbon was secured to the bottom of the Acetate Box with some STAMPI’ SEAL +. Then I made a panel to pop onto the front of the box, popped up with dimensionals.

These are the four gift cards I made. I wanted to focus on stamping and colouring, using the Stampin’ Blends. I am pleased that I made three Basic White cards and one Poppy Parade card.

I used most of the colours from the BRIGHTS family for this project – I wanted it to bright and playful.

Here’s a closer look at each of them. The snails are soooooo cute!

I think that I might make an additional four gift cards and use the SNAIL MAIL DESIGNER SERIES PAPER. This will then give me another bundle of eight fun gift cards.

So – which is your favourite?

Happy stamping – and, colouring.

ICE CREAM CORNER

Hello – welcome! Thank you for popping by. I hope that you like today’s Blog Hop project.

It’s Wednesday – so it’s time for a FRESHLY BREWED PROJECTS BLOG HOP. This week’s theme is ICE CREAM CORNER.

No photo description available.

This is such a colourful and fun collection of products.

ICE CREAM CORNER SUITE COLLECTION (ENGLISH)

I have been making a lot more fun fold cards recently and decided to make one for this project. Now, this is going to sound all a bit ‘politically correct’ but I am going to name this card a tripod card because I really think calling it a ‘teepee’ card is a bit outdated.

So, here it is.

Isn’t it bright and colourful? One of the things I like about our Stampin’ Blends is that I can colour match ribbon if there is a pen in that colour. I used the Dark Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blend for this project.

I made a custom envelope for the card because it is larger than usual.

The three pieces of card stock I used were cut to 5″x 5″ and scored diagonally. The hypotenuse is 7″, so the card definitely needed a larger envelope.

You can never have too scoops of ice cream on your cone or too many ice creams on your birthday. The ICE CREAM CORNER DESIGNER SERIES PAPER is a treat to create with. And, of course, you have to pop sprinkles on top.

SOME CHICKS 4 YOU

Hello to each of you lovely crafters who pop by to see what I have to share today. I appreciate that you take the time to check in.

I had wanted to start on this project during a recent Facebook Live but totally ran out of time. So, here is what I made.

I wanted to make one 3-1/8″x 3-1/8″ Acetate Card Box so that I could make lots of 3″x 3″ cards to pop inside. I actually made 2 boxes and 8 cards per box but needed to place the envelopes behind the acrylic box. To hold them in place, I used some of the white twine from the SNAIL MAIL TWINE COMBO PACK to keep everything in place.

The bellyband was made by using a 2″ strip of Bermuda Bay card stock and a piece of Granny Apple Green card stock that has been cut using one of the dies from the SNAIL DIES set.

The ‘4’ is from the PLAYFUL ALPHABET DIES and the ‘you’ is from the WELL WRITTEN DIES. Everything we have in our crafting collection from Stampin’ Up!© is able to be used across varying bundles and suites.

This very funky chick was stamped and coloured using Stampin’ Blends.

These are the first four cards that are included in the box.

These are the next four cards.

The cards that feature the eggs also have ‘you’re a good egg’ greeting stamped inside.

Let me share a closer look at each of these gift cards.

Each gift box contains the same eight gift cards as well as envelopes. I think this makes a great little gift for someone – after all, who doesn’t need to have birthday cards on hand?

Leave a message and tell me which is your favourite. Who knows, I might it to you as a thank you for taking the time to comment.

Happy stamping.
