PHOTO SHOOT AT LAST

Phew … I have finally caught up on photographing my recent projects, six in total. That’s the next few posts sorted.

I thought that I would firstly share some photos of my newly set up crafting space and how I set up for taking photos.

This is my new desk and storage shelves. The table can be folded down and the bookcase turned around to reveal a queen bed – the best Murphy bed.

And, like so many of you, I have just put together my new storage unit. I have ordered some custom built inserts for card stock and DSP.

My ‘studio’ is very simple. I use two restaurant table numbers to hold up a length of wallpaper. The curved edge creates an endless background – a trick I learnt from my father, who was a professional photographer.

So, let me show you the fragrant soap gift box I made.

Yesterday, I started working on my first video tutorial for a soon to be shared Youtube channel. This was the project I made. Once I have done some editing (as soon as I learn to do so) it will be uploaded and I’ll let you know when.

I am totally loving the FLOWERS FOR EVERY SEASON 6″x 6″ DSP and it’s variety. For this project I chose the Christmas seasonal paper. I guess that I will have to tuck this away until Christmas.

I like to pop a gift box with a lovely soap onto the bed when we have guests.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping (and gift box making).

These are the products I used to make this project. If you live in Australia, you can order any of them through me.

PEONY GIFT BOX

This is the third project, I made on Tuesday, using the PEONY GARDEN BUNDLE.

It is a 4″x 4″x 2″ gift box.

I totally love the emboss and cut scallop die from the PEONY DIES.

Another thing that I love about this suite is the colour combination. The Pretty Pink and Whisper White, in this piece of Designer Series, paper is gorgeous.

I think that you can figure out each of the elements – heat embossed floral image, Whisper White .5″ Faux Linen Ribbon, Elegant Faceted Gems.

What would you pop into this gift box? Leave a message and let me know.

POSTED FOR YOU

Today I did a Facebook Live featuring the new POSTED FOR YOU BUNDLE.

POSTED FOR YOU BUNDLE

I made a gift box containing six note cards and 12 gift tags.

The box wasn’t made by me – I used one of the MINI PAPER PUMPKIN BOXES.There are 10 in a pack.

MINI PAPER PUMPKIN B0XES

I did make a divider to glue into the base of the box to separate the note cards from the gift tags. The divider was made using Thick Whisper White card stock, 3.75″x 7.25″ and was scored at 2″, 2.75″ and 3.5″.

The flowers were coloured using Old Olive and Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends, and Wink of Stella to add some shimmer.

The Tricolour Ribbon colours – Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather and Purple Posy – inspired me to use strips of Purple Posy DSP around the sides of the box.

I also used Highland Heather and Old Olive DSP for the card fronts, as well as Purple Posy.

Each card had a stamped and punched image/sentiment.

The gift tags are the same – three in each colour and a variety of ribbons used.

The Happy Birthday card has the floral image stamped onto the DSP and the sentiment just fits into the Classic Label Punch.

So far I have posted three Facebook Lives on my mmmstampintime Facebook page. Each one gets a little better and I am pleased with all the new things I am learning.

My Live posts go “live at 11” each Wednesday. Here is a link to the Live I did today.
