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

For this gift box I used two A4 pieces of Pecan Pie card stock.

The card used for the lid was stamped with the magnolia bud image in Pecan Pie.

All four sides were scored at 1 7/8″. After burnishing the score lines, with my bone folder, I cut the sides as shown below – just down to the scored line. I also cut away a small wedge on both sides of the flap.

I used Stampin’ Seal+ to adhere the four flaps, creating the gift box lid.

For the gift box base, I used the same process but increased the scoring measurement to 1 1/2″. This means that the lids is slightly larger than the base, allowing for an easy fit.

I used the large circle from the Everyday Details Dies to cut two pieces of Pecan Pie and one White Vellum, for the lid of the box.

For the first circle, I layered the card and vellum layers before I die cut two of the magnolia dies and layered them. Then I placed Stampin’ Dimensionals under the flowers, allowing for a place to run a length of burlap ribbon, from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo.

I wrapped the ribbon around the box and tied a bow.

For the second circle, I stamped the greeting from the Magnolia Mood Stamp Set and the magnolia bud image.

I threaded a length of Linen Thread through one of the holes in the circle. After untying the bow, I tied the Linen Thread to attach the greeting.

Then I cut three lengths of Linen Thread and added it to the Burlap Ribbon. After carefully tying these lengths into a bow, I teased out the linen threads.

Finally, I added some Cork Rounds to the top of the box.

Tomorrow I have a fun fold card for you.

Until then, happy stamping.

IT’S FRIDAY & TIME FOR SOME FEATURES AND ANOTHER EASTER CARD

I don’t have a Friday Fun Fold card for you today but I do have a beautiful Easter card to share.

Today I am featuring the Everyday Details Bundle.

I thought the nest with eggs would be delightful for a card this Easter.

The little nest was stamped before I coloured it with Stampin’ Blends – Bubble Bath, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly, Lost Lagoon and Pecan Pie.

I used the colour lifter to lighten areas of the eggs shells before painting them with Clear Wink of Stella.

After I finished colouring the nest, I used the largest of the circles from the Everyday Essentials Dies to cut it out.

The greeting was stamped using Lost Lagoon and cut with anothe rof the dies from this same set.

Before attaching them to the front of the card, I took a panel of White Vellum and embossed it using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder.

I attached the embossed vellumto the Lost Lagoon cardbase and then, using Stampin’ Dimensionals, added the die cut elements to the card.

Using Linen Thread, I teid a triple bow and attached it to the nest, using a Mini Glue Dot.

The nest was stamped on the card insert and on the envelope, using Pecan Pie ink.

The final flourish was the addition of some Lost Lagoon embellishments from the Tinsel Gems 3 Pack.

The plan next week is to feature the new Magnolia Mood products.

Until then, happy stamping.

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

This week I will feature a few different Stampin’ Up! products because the main theme this week is Easter.

My first project uses the Excellent Eggs Bundle and some bright, rainbow-inspired colours.

I started by preparing a Basic White cardbase and then die cutting all the coloured card elements. Before cutting them, I added Adhesive Sheets to the back of the card.

The zigzag rainbow pieces were cut first. I used Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Azure Afternoon, Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather.

I adhered the zigzags to the front of the card, staggering them on top of each other.

Three different sized eggs were cut and layered, with Stampin’ Dimensionals to give them height.

I stamped and cut some of the small rabbits. Two of them were tucked inside the white egg. The third bunny was positioned in the bottom right-hand area of the card.

The greeting was stamped on a scrap of white cardstock and was then cut with one of the Everyday Details Dies.

I cut two more smaller eggs and added them inside the card and on the envelope.

Finally, I coloured some small Rhinestone Basic Jewels with a Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends pen. I added five of them to the card front.

Tomorrow I have a lovely Easter Lilies card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
