WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY AND TIME FOR MY FRESHLY BREWED PROJECTS CREATION

Whew … it is an hour and 10 minutes before this post will go live. I finished my project 5 mnutes ago. That’s calling it close.

May be an image of coffee cup and text that says 'Freshly Brewed PROJEGTS'

The theme this week is use Acetate/Window Sheets in our projects … can be a shaker card, window card, peek thru or even just an acetate layer that has been stamped or embossed.

Because I have left this project until the last moment, I decided to use one of the soon to be retired acetate packaging boxes – C6 Acetate Card Boxes.

I assembled the box, adding Mini Glue Dots to hold the base inserts in place.

I made a 4-1/4″ belly band, using the new Parakeet Party 2022 – 2024 In Colour A4 cardstock, and fitted it around the acetate box.

Using the Parakeet Party Metallic Woven Ribbon, I wrapped the ribbon around the box three times and tied a bow.

I used all the 2022 – 2024 In Colours to stamp, colour and die cut the gumballl machine.

The sentiment was stamped in Parakeet Party and was then cut using one of the square Stylish Shapes Dies.

The machine and sentiment pieces were then placed on the belly band using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The last thing I did was to fill the acetate box with SKittles Giants.

This was a quick, easy and fun project to make for this blog hop.

Make sure that you see what the other Freshly Brewed Project Team members have created.

Tomorrow is 3D Thursday, however my post will be a little later in the day.

Until then, happy stamping.

A CUSTOM GIFT BOX FOR A FRECKLE MILK CHOCOLATE BUNNY

For today’s 3D Thursday project I made a custom gift box for a gorgeous freckle covered milk chocolate bunny. To be honest, the box it came in was very abergare.

The Easter Friends Stamp Set is the set I chose to use – it is another stand alone set.

The finished box measures 5-3/4″x 4-1/2″x 5/8″.

I used Flirty Flamingo cardstock for the box.

The front Basic White panel was stamped with the bunny and grass images. I used the Flirty Flamino and Basic Gray Water Colour Pencils to lightly shade areas of the bunny. A Blender Pen was used to lightly blend the colour.

The sentiment was stamped on the panel as well. A simple bow was tied from a length of Misty Moonlight Cotton Ribbon. This ribbon is from the New Horizons Suite.

Finally, I coloured some Rhinestone Basic Jewels with the Dark Melon Mambo Stampin’ Blend.

Isn’t the chocolate freckle bunny so cute.

I will make another gift box durin my Facebook Live so that I will have a second Easter bunny gift box – one for each of my daughters.

Tomorrow I have a fun fold card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

3D THURSDAY IS ALL ABOUT SHARING GIFT BOXES & BAGS

Today I have a triangular gift box to share with you. When I saw the heart hands cut out, I knew that I wanted to see what they would look like if they were attached to vellum and illuminated.

The box if 5″ high and each panel of the triangle is 3-7/8″ wide. The Real Red base is 1″ high and it is adhered to the vellum with Stampin’ Seal+.

After I placed the lid on the box, I positoined the heart hands on each panel.

I used some Mini Glue Dots to help postion and hold a length of Black & White Gingham Ribbon around the base. Then I tied a small bow on the corner.

The little battery operated tea light glows subtly through the vellum.

The gift box could easily be filled with Hershey Kisses or some other chocolate treat.

Just add cardstock, vellum and adhesive to make a gift box like this.

Friday is Fun Fold day and I have a Peekaboo Slider Card to share using the All Together Collection.

Until then, happy stamping.
