A CHRISTMAS WATERFALL

It has been such a long time since I made a waterfall card. So, I decided to make one with a Christmas card.

After looking through my new stamp sets, from the August through December Mini Catalogue. I decided to use the GIFT WRAPPED STAMP SET.

That meant that I would need to reconfigure the measurements for the waterfall panels because the ribbon images are larger than the standard instructions that so many lovely demonstrators and stampers have shared online.

I chose Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce and Whisper White as my colour theme.

This was also a great opportunity to use some of the products from the QUITE CURVY VARIETY BUNDLE that is available to demonstrators this month and for customers from 3 NOVEMBER 2020–4 JANUARY 2021.

The bundle has two stamp sets and I used the CURVEY CHRISTMAS STAMP SET (155364). The curved stars stamp is so gorgeous.

I also used a piece of paper from the CLASSIC CHRISTMAS 6″X 6″ DESIGNER SERIES PAPER (155969). It is such an amazing bundle of DSP in Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede, Shaded Spruce and Whisper White. The designs are perfect for Christmas but can be used for other occasions as well.

The grid style paper is definitely a favourite.

Each bow design was stamped using Shaded Spruce and then coloured using STAMPIN’ BLENDS.

As the tab is pulled down, each bow is presented and the greeting is slowly revealed. The greeting is from the TAG BUFFET STAMP SET.

The final panel has the curved stars image from the CURVY CHRISTMAS STAMP SET and the greeting and mistletoe is from the TAG BUFFET STAMP SET.

The tab is a 1/2″ strip of Shaded Spruce that has been punched using the BANNERS PICK A PUNCH.

This card does not open out, like most cards, but there is a piece Whisper White cardstock on the back that will allow a space to write a message. It has the same curved stars image, from CURVY CHRISTMAS, and another greeting from GIFT WRAPPED – “Wrapped especially for you”.

I was very pleased with the way this waterfall card turned out. What do you think?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

I only have a partial visual product list to share with you today because the CURVY CHRISTMAS STAMP SET or the CLASSIC CHRISTMAS 6″X 6″ DSP is not yet available. These are the products I used to make this card. If you live in Australia, you can order any of them through me.

FINAL TREAT

As I mentioned on my post on Thursday, I made three projects during my Facebook Live on Wednesday and I have already shared a card and little treat box.

For this last project, I made a custom-sized gift box to hold three chocolate covered mini tea cakes.

I continued with the same colour choices and lots of spiders.

For this project, I decided to heat emboss the greeting in silver.

This is a simple adaptation of a ‘matchbox’ box – a three-sided insert with a four-sided casing that the insert can slide from.

I am loving the METALLIC MESH RIBBON – it is so much fun to use on projects. For this gift box, it makes an amazing way to pull the insert box out from its casing and it helps to hold the mini cakes in place.

Positioning the die cut spiders, creeping along the top and up the sides of the box, was a great way to finish it off … not to mention, a few RED RHINESTONE BASIC JEWELS.

HAVE YOU NOTICED THE EMBOSSED FEATURE IN THE CENTRE OF THE SPIDER’S BODY? WHAT AN AMAZING DIE!

I am so pleased with how my three Halloween projects, from my Facebook Live on Wednesday, finished up. I hope they have inspired you to create some Trick or Treat projects of your own.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

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

TIME FOR A TREAT

Yesterday I posted a Halloween-themed card that I made on my Wednesday Facebook Live.

Today, I’m sharing a LITTLE TREAT BOX I also made. The Little Treat Box Die makes such a cute little treat box – this product has the perfect name.

Continuing on with my colour choices, from yesterday, I used SILVER FOIL to cut out the box template. I then used the BRICKS & MORTAR 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER to emboss the foil – once horizontally and the second time diagonally.

To assemble the treat box I use mini glue dots to secure the pieces.

Once assembled, I stamped the greeting onto Whisper White cardstock before using a die from the LITTLE TREAT BOX DIES and used the small hole punch from the LABEL ME FANCY PUNCH in order to be able to thread some BLACK GLITTERED ORGANZA RIBBON.

I cut three lengths of Misty Moonlight/silver Baker’s Twine, from the FLOWERS FOR EVERY SEASON RIBBON COMBO PACK, and separated the strands. I used the silver strands to tie off the black organza.

The greeting was popped up using dimensionals and a few RED RHINESTONE BASIC JEWELS were added.

Finally, a few spiders were added for the scary factor. The treat box on the right, features some Australian red back spiders – deadly!

To allay the fear factor of spiders, I popped some mini KitKats into each box – chocolate can fix so many things.

Thank you for popping by … happy stamping.

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