RINGING IN THE NEW

As Christmas and the New Year draw closer, so to does the end of the August – December 2020 Mini Catalogue.

Now is the time that I want to start sharing projects using products from the JANUARY – JUNE 2021 MINI CATALOGUE & SALE-A-BRATION BROCHURE.

For this first post, I was inspired by a Facebook Live from Sara Douglass (CEO of Stampin’ Up!) a few days ago. Sara shared a Christmas gift box using a folded corner technique – instead of a cut corner technique, which I have never used before. There is a link below for you to see what she shared.

Sara used 12″x 12″ DSP and scored each side evenly to create the gift boxes.

During her presentation, she mentioned that these boxes were all square and that she hadn’t worked on rectangular boxes yet. So, I thought that I would try to work this out. And, here is the result.

I made these rectangular gift boxes using a sheet of 12″x 12″ DSP, for the lid, and a sheet of coordinating POPPY PARADE 12″x 12″ cardstock, for the base.

I cut 2″ off one side of the paper/card, resulting in 12″x 10″ paper/card.

Then, I scored each side at 2″ – this will give a box that measures 10″x 8″x 2″.

What I liked about Sara’s gift box was that the corners were folded in and adhered – rather than being cut, tapered and adhered.

This first gift box was made using one of the 2021 SALE-A-BRATION rewards – the BERRY DELIGHTFUL DESIGNER SERIES PAPER comes in a bundle with the BERRY BLESSINGS STAMP SET. To get this bundle, for FREE, you need to spend $180 (before postage).

This bundle coordinates with the SWEET STRAWBERRY BUNDLE from the JANUARY -JUNE MINI CATALOGUE. It is made up of the SWEET STRAWBERRY STAMP SET and STRAWBERRY BUILDER PUNCH, that I have also used for this gift box. This bundle is $55.75 AUD.

I made a second gift box using products from the HYDRANGEA HILL SUITE COLLECTION (pp 18-20 Mini Catalogue).

The papers in the HYDRANGEA HILL DSP are so beautiful. The box base uses a sheet of GORGEOUS GRAPE 12″x 12″ card stock. The new GORGEOUS GRAPE SHEET RIBBON is perfect.

For the card, Iused some of the 2″ strip of DSP that I cut off (same measurements as the first box). The SEASIDE SPRAY card base worked to ‘tone down’ the bright panel layer.

The hydrangia was stamped and die cut before the flower overlay was stamped and cut also. I used the Gorgeous Grape to stamp the flower head but stamped off twice to create a lighter shade. I love the way the petals are able to pop up and create the fullness of a hydrangea.

The new label die in this set is going to be very useful across other stamp set sentiments.

The final touch, of course, the new PASTEL PEARLS. There are four colours – GORGEOUS GRAPE, HIGHLAND HEATHER, ROCOCO ROSE and SEASIDE SPRAY.

AND … I used my brand new MINI STAMPIN’ CUT & EMBOSS MACHINE.

I enjoyed making these gift boxes using all new products and can’t wait to fill them with goodies to give to someone special.

Which one do you prefer?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

I will add in the products I used for these boxes when the catalogue goes live on January 5th. If you live in Australia and would like a copy of the new JANUARY – JUNE MINI CATALOGUE & SALE-A-BRATION BROCHURE contact me to discover how you can.

CUSTOM ORDER

Last night I had a stall at the Dockside Twilight Markets – my very poor reason for not posting yesterday.

I did, however, post an image on my Instagram account of the stall and my new black and white banner. A huge thank you to my friend Katerina who cut and applied the letters to each of the flags. Then I laminated and trimmed them. It was just as well that I did because there was the chance of some rain.

While there were lots of people milling around, things were quiet. I have met lots of other lovely vendors and it’s great to be able to have a chat between people popping by.

One lady did look for some Christmas packaging for some gifts. There were a couple of options but she wanted three gift boxes that were similar. There was one I had made using the RECTANGLE TINS from the AUGUST – DECEMBER MINI CATALOGUE. She also liked some of the papers from the MOST WONDERFUL TIME DSP.

So this was an opportunity to offer to make some for her Friday morning. She was very happy with that.

Here they are:

The gift cards are just 2″ square. I’m sure that the light pink coloured lip balms will look fabulous in these tins.

I hope that Jo likes them and her gift recipients as well.

This experience reminds me of the value of talking and listening. If I hadn’t, then I wouldn’t have been able to make these boxes.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

3D STAMPING BLOG HOP

For this week’s Freshly Brewed Projects Blog Hop, the theme is 3D STAMPING.

Those of us who are hopping along, post our links to this private group – but you can see everyone elses’ projects by clicking on their links below.

To be totally honest, I had to find out what that was because it wasn’t a familiar technique term. Thanks to Google, I discovered very quickly what the technique is (and I have used it AGES ago). It was nice to have the opportunity for a refresher.

This technique involves creating a 3D look by overstamping a solid, stamped image with a slightly darker ink. Sounds easy – and, it is.

For this project, I decided to use the LOYAL LEAVES STAMP SET. I thought the intricate leaves designs would look amazing with a 3D (shadow) effect.

Here is the end result.

I positioned each of the leaves stamps onto my Stamparatus. The next step was to ink up the stamps with a refreshed/reinked Whisper White Craft Stampin’ Pad. Once the craft ink was dry, I slightly adjusted the position of the cardstock – a little up and to the left.

After cleaning the stamps, I reinked them with Mossy Meadow and stamped again.

You cannot help but admire the detail in these stamped images.

The reason that I didn’t use my F Block was because I made a number of these cards and also repeated this for the front of another project that I will show you soon.

The OLDER AND WISER greeting is a fun way to remind someone that are, in deed, getting older.

And, when someone is being teased about getting older, that person may need to be comforted with chocolate.

In keeping with the card concept, I decorated a 3D slider card in the same way.

The BRAIDED LINEN THREAD and MOSSY MEADOW BRAIDED LINEN THREAD are perfect for this project.

And, by pulling gently on the tab the sweet treat is revealed.

If you are going to give chocolate, always make sure it is a good one.

This project, like many of mine, uses just three colours – CRUMB CAKE, MOSSY MEADOW and WHISPER WHITE – just keeping it simple.

What do you think? Who is ‘older and wiser’ that you would send this to?
