A 3D FLOATING & FLUTTERING PROJECT

Hello to each of you who have returned to see my latest project – this time it is a 3D project. If you are new to my posts, I apprecitate that you took the time to check it out.

I die cut a centred panel from the Floating and Fluttering butterfly panel from the card I shared on Thursday.

Then, I had to think about how I could use it on a project. I’ve been looking at lots of different blogs and Facebook posts and Pinterest posts. AND, although I have seen these before, my attention was drawn to faceted bags/boxes.

This is how I melded these two concepts together.

The die cut section has one butterfly image that has some Cajun Craze in its colouring, so this is the card stock colour Iopted for. Then I stamped the butterfly bundle image several times across the card stock.

Once this faceted gift box was assembled, I punched the two holes across the top to insert and tie some braided linen trim.

The sentiment is from the MANY MESSAGES STAMP SET and coordinating DIE.

Finally, I added a few MATT BLACK DOTS to the colourful butterfly panel.

I can’t wait to make some more facted gift boxes.

Happy stamping.

DESERT LIME

Hello and thank you for popping by.

When you start creating with new products do you just keep making different projects?

That’s what I found I was doing with the SIMPLY SUCCULENTS BUNDLE and the FLOWERING CACTUS PRODUCT MEDLEY. In a day, I made seven cards and a gift box. I’ll post them on alternate days to make sure that I don’t bore you.

I found a bar of coconut and desert lime soap when I was shopping the other day. The desert lime was close enough for me to make a cactus/desert inspired gift box.

The design of this gift box is very similar to the card I shared on the 24th.

I used the same DSP and colours and colouring techniques.

I used a small LAYERING CIRCLES DIE to cut a semicircle to make it easier to lift the lid.

I added five of the Cinnamon Cider 2020-2022 IN COLOUR ENAMEL DOTS to the front of the box.

The natural twine in the product medley was used to tie this triple bow.

This will make a lovely little gift to have on hand for that moment when I want to thank someone for an act of kindness.

Happy stamping.

A GORGEOUS GIFT BOX

Hello! Welcome to a new post, using another new product suite.

I have already made some projects using the HYDRANGEA HILL SUITE but it is time to make some more.

This project starts with one of the LOVE YOU ALWAYS TREAT BOXES from the LOVE YOU ALWAYS SUITE.

I chose this piece of paper, from the HYDRANGEA HILL DESIGNER SERIES PAPER pack, to wrap around the gift box.

I made a 1-1/2″/4cm belly band, in Rococo Rose.

The sweet sentiment is from the HYDRANGEA HAVEN STAMP SETand it is stamped in the same colour as the belly band. The new PASTEL PEARLS are stunning. They come in four colours – Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Rococo Rose and Seaside Spray.

To finish off the card, I fussy cut one of the floral bouquets from another sheet pf DSP and adhered it to the belly band.

These gift boxes are fantastic. I can definitely see myself making many more for those special occasions.

I found a supplier of hydrangea seeds in Australia. I think that I will order some and pop them in this gift box to give to someone who loves gardening.

What would you put into this gift box?

Thanks for popping by.
