DOUBLE TROUBLE

Hello to my stamping friends – welcome and thanks for popping by.

Today I’m sharing another first time project. As I wander through Facebook groups and Pinterest, I am amazed at the number of card styles and fancy folds that I am yet to try.

THis project is a DOUBLE DISPLAY CARD.

It was time to use some of the paper from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. I chose the WHALE OF A TIME 6″x 6″ DSP for this card. The card base uses Pretty Peacock card stock. I also used Blackberry Bliss panels.

For the front and insert pieces I cut the DSP and then fussy cut lots of the turtles to have them ‘swim’ in the scenes.

The birthday greeting and coordinating die are from the FINE ART FLORAL BUNDLE. The greeting was stamped in Pretty Peacock onto Pool Party card stock.

The ribbon is from the PLAYING WITH PATTERNS RIBBON COMBO PACK and is secured on the back of the card under a panel of Pretty Peacock and Basic White card – a perfect place to write a birthday message.

I adhered some of the SEQUINS FOR EVERYTHING on the front of the card.

When the bow is untied and the card opened out you can see all the decorated panels.

The best way to view the card is when it is open and standing – that’s when you can see all the interesting pop out panels.

A closer look and you can see that my fussy cutting is getting so much better!

This card certianly involved a few more steps and some careful measuring to get all the elements just right, but it was well worth the effort.

Happy stamping!

LIP SERVICE

Hello to all of my creative friends who pop in from time to time – thank you for visiting me again.

There is nothing insincere about my love of Stampin’ Up!® and its amazing, high quality products – my use of the expression ‘lip service’ relates to today’s project.

When I was at the supermarket recently I found a tube of lip balm and I knew that I should buy it and package it more attractively. A good lip balm gives your lips good care – ‘service’.

I decided to use a sheet of paper from the FINE ART FLORAL DESIGNER SERIES PAPER that could be described as a bit like a beehive design. The Burt’s Bees container is more of a Bumblebee colour but I wanted to match the DSP and went for So Saffron.

The ITTY BITTY GREETING STAMP SET provided the sentiment I wanted and was a perfect size for the CLASSIC LABEL PUNCH.

The BASIC GRAY TWINE from the WELL SUITED TWINE COMBO PACK was a good match to secure the greeting banners in place.

I enjoy the challenge of making gift boxes and packaging. It requires me to visualise a package, take measurements and plan a two dimensional plan for a three dimensional final product.

This is why I really love pattern making and sewing. The idea that you could design a garment or see a garment in a magazine and break it down to translate it to a flat pattern that, when sewn, results in a wearable and hopefully, fashionable piece of clothing. And, as I approach a 6 figure age at the end of this year, I am drawn to all those thinking skills that will keep my brain age younger.

This style of box can easily be upsized to hold a new lipstick. What would you use this style of box for?

Happy stamping.

LOTS OF LOVELY BOXES

Hello to all my stamps, ink and paper friends – thanks for popping by.

After sharing quite a few cards in recent days, I needed to make a 3D project (well, a few).

I was inspired by a blog post from Ashee Ahmad, shared by Sonia da Silva on Facebook. Ashee Ahmad, a demonstrator from Lincoln, UK, shared a square fold flat gift box. I followed her instructions to make a gift box using the FINE ART FLORAL DSP.

How to Make a Square Fold Flat Gift Box – Crafting with Ashee — **Ashee Ahmad’s gift box**

And, I made a few more! The bottom flap opens in the same wasy as the lid so you can fold them flat.

The first box is a 2″ cube. It is the second smallest one that I made. I made three larger and one smaller – the sizes are 1-3/4″, 2″, 2-1/4″, 2-1/2″ and 2-3/4″ cubes.

I used Old Olive and a sheet of FINE ART FLORAL DSP.

Now I just need to make a few gift tags to coordinate with the boxes.

A huge thank you to Ashee for sharing her box instructions.

I imagine jewellery surprises tucked away in each box. What would you put into the boxes?

Happy stamping.
