JUST ADD COLOUR

Hello lovely ones – thanks for popping by to see my latest project.

Yesterday I shared a card that used some of the TRUE LOVE DESIGNER SERIES PAPER. It only had a little bit of colouring and it was very subtle.

Today’s project brings the colour and lots of it. I used Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Highland Heather and Poppy Parade Blends to colour a 2-3/8″ (6cm) strip of one of the DSP designs.

The OVAL OCCASIONS BUNDLE was perfect for this gift box. The scalloped shape from the DOUBLE OVAL PUNCH is a great size for the top of the box.

I enjoy having gift boxes on hand – ready to fill and give.

The LINEN THREAD makes an awesome multiple bow. The CLEVER CLASP holds the opening closed very effectively.

Now it’s time fill it with lots of delicious chocolates and give it to someone special.

Thanks again for popping by … happy stamping.

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.
