THURSDAY MEANS THAT IT’S TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

I recently found a bag of Reece Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures Milk Chocolate – I tried one and they are soooo yummy. Fortunately, I stopped at one to ensure I had enough for this matchbox style gift box.

The gift box fits 5 Reece Cups.

I thought that the Wild Wheat cardstock and DSP is quite close to a matte gold look.

The box measures 6 1/4″ x 1 3/8″ x 3/4″ and the outer casing is ever so slightly larger.

I cut the DSP so that it wraps in a continual pattern around the box.

I wrapped a length of Wild Wheat Textured Ribbon around the box and tied a knot. Then I trimmed the ends of the ribbon.

The greeting was stamped in Wild Wheat, on Wild Wheat card and trimmed down. I popped Stampin’ Dimensionals behind the greeting and added it to the top of the box.

Finally, I added some die cut small Wild Wheat flowers and Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels for some extra embellsihment.

I popped a Mini Glue Dot under each of the Reece Cups to secure them in place.

This piece of DSP is really very lovely.

Tomorrow I will share my fifth and final card for the week.

Until then, happy stamping.

THURSDAY MEANS THAT IT IS TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

Today’s 3D project is not a gift box but a shadow box decor piece.

When I chose the Jungle Pals Stamp Set and Jungle Pals Dies, from the Sale-a-bration Brochure, I knew exactly what I wanted to make with it.

To earn these products, I needed a qualifying $270 order (before shipping). This bundle is well worth the order!

This is such a cute collection of jungle animals – lemur, toucan, sloth, alligator and tiger.

There are 15 dies in this set. Five of them coordinate with the Jungle Pals and the remaining dies provide elements to create their world.

I used an Ikea shadow box frame to create this decor piece.

(Oops – I am still working on photography skills – and how to reduce reflection in my images).

I stamped each of the animals before enjoying the time I spent colouring them with Stampin’ Blends.

Using the tree, leaves and vine dies, I cut so many pieces across a range of colours. I was able to create each panel of this decor item from these die cuts.

I used Copper Clay, Garden Green and Old Olive.

I used the new Mini Alphabet Dies, with Adhesive Sheet attached to the back of some Copper Clay cardstock, to cut out the decor title.

Each of the decor panels were adhered to a piece of paper from the Trusty Toolbox 12″ x 12″ Designer Series PAper.

I used so many Stampin’ Blends in this project and the end result is fantastic.

What do you think?

Tomorrow I have one more Sale-a-bration project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

IT’S MONDAY & THAT MEANS IT IS TIME TO HIGHLIGHT SOME NEW STAMPIN’ UP! PRODUCTS

This week I am going to feature a new Sale-a-bration product each day. These are the ones that don’t have a specific matching bundle in the new January – April 2024 Mini Catalogue.

Today I have two projects to share with you, using the Watercolor Melon Stamp Set.

I chose Poppy Parade for my main watermelon colour and Garden Green for the watermelon vine and leaves.

The watermelon wedges were stamped and fussy cut.

I stamped the watermelon vine and leaves across a Basic White panel. Then I embossed it using the Basics 3D Crosshatch Embossing Folder.

The stamped and embossed panel was then attached to the Poppy Parade card base.

After adding Adhesive Sheet to the back of a piece of Poppy Parade and cut the letters, for the card greeting, using the Mini Alphabet Dies.

I stamped the watermelon on the card insert and the envelope.

After finding a watermelon lip balm, I decided to make a 3D project to pop the lip balm in.

The gift box was made using Garden Green cardstock.

I stamped two watermelon images, using a masking technique, to allow me to overlap them. After stamping them, I used Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends to fill in the watermelon with a lighter green.

I attached a fussy cut watermelon wedge and cut some more letters for the gift box ‘title’.

The Watercolor Melon Stamp Set is one of the FREE stamp sets that can be selected with a minimum $90AUD (before shipping) order.

Tomorrow I will have another Sale-a-bration product to share with you.
