A BAG FULL OF CHOCOLATE

It is time for another chocolate holder.

This is the first bag I have made this way. It has a flat fold base.

I used an empty Lindt bag, with the same type of base, as a template.

The ORNATE GARDEN SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER, COPPER FOIL, COPPER STAMPIN’ EMBOSS POWDER and the COPPER TRIM (from the Notes of Kindness Card Kit) look amazing against the white.

This bag is all about the score lines and by deconstructing the Lindt bag I knew exactly where and how to make my own.

I am soooooo pleased with how well it turned out. The base is also really stable.

The belly band is all that keeps you from the chocolate.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping … this Easter!

ALMOST EASTER

With the Easter weekend just a few short days away, I thought that I would make some hand-crafted packaging for gifts to share.

My first gift box was designed to hold five, small Lindt bunnies.

I used the swap that I received at the Paper Angels event I was recently invited to as the ‘prototype’ for this project. Thank you Maree!

Who doesn’t love a little Lindt chocolate at this time of year?

This is a grown up’s Easter gift!

This gift box is larger than the swap I was so fortunate to receive. My tip for gift boxes and bags – deconstruct the project and then adapt with new measurements.

The mini bunnies are dressed in gold foil – so I went with gold foil and the ORNATE GARDENS SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER.

The coordinating ORNATE BORDER DIES were ideal for the gold accent and layered flowers on top of the box.

The sentiment came from the FABLE FRIENDS STAMP SET and the tassel is from the BEST DRESSED SUITE. There is unlimited coordination across all Stampin’ Up! ® products.

A SNEAK PEEK, INSIDE

Enjoy your Easter weekend – even if you are isolated from family and friends.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

EASTER TREAT BOX

The ORNATE BORDERS DIES are just beautiful. I love the intricate floral and lacy edges many of them have.

I wanted to make a gift box, filled with chocolates, using one of the dies for the base and lid.

This is the end result:

I used the gorgeous mint macaron and gold foil piece of Specialty Designer Series Paper and Gold Foil to create the sides of the box.

The sentiment, from the EASTER PROMISE STAMP SET, was stamped in Mint Macaron on the same coloured card stock and then re-stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder – thanks to the precision of the Stamparatus!

I die cut all three flowers, three times, from the same paper used for the outside of the box. The flowers each have a GILDED GEM.

The Classic Label Punch pieces made a quick and easy hinge.

The end result – a gilded box of Easter goodness.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
