FACEBOOK FUN

Hello! Thank you for popping by. I’m a little late posting this morning.

Tomorrow is my weekly Facebook Live on https://www.facebook.com/mmmstampintime, at 9am (AEST). I hope that you have time to watch me live or on replay.

I thought that I would share the projects I am planning to make tomorrow.

I decided to focus on the Love You Always Suite because one of the stamp set/dies bundles is retiring and the other is carrying over into the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue.

The Forever & Always Bundle, as well as the True Love Designer Series Paper are retiring. So, if this is still on your wishlist be quick to order it while it is still available.

FOREVER AND ALWAYS BUNDLE
$79 AUD

And, Stampin’ Emboss Powders are also retiring, in their single colour packaging. They will be available as two different three packs – more information soon.

I am trying to use up the retiring ribbons quickly, so the Real Red Sheer Ribbon made its way onto this card.

The layout of this card is uncomplicated – layers of card stock and DSP, a ribbon and bow tied around the layers, stamped and die cut greeting and heat embossed and die cut flowers. Simple yet elegant, don’t you agree?

The sentiment stamp, on the card insert, actually reads “you so very much”. It is very easy to just ink up the last three words to be able to have the total greeting read ‘Love you so very much’. I also stamped the smaller floral image, using Real Red, on both the card insert and envelope.

The other project, I plan to make tomorrow, is an impossible box. It was inspired by the ones that Julie Dimatteo and Sam Colcott make.

The one I will make tomorrow will use card stock rather than DSP. The DSP is perfect for smaller boxes but I think larger boxes need more stability.

The great thing about using DSP is that when you turn down the top one inch piece, the box features the other side of the paper.

The closing mechanism of this box is so clever – I have no idea who was the first to create this box, but they are so talented.

When you press down on the lid it just folds in and closes right up.

While I cannot take any credit for this box design, I can share the instructions I have drawn up. I hope you have fun making your own.

See you tomorrow, Live.

Happy stamping.

TRUE LOVE TRIANGLES

Hello my crafting friends – I am so pleased that you have popped by.

I have used the TRUE LOVE DESIGNER SERIES PAPER again for today’s project. This time I teamed the DSP with the STITCHED RECTANGLES DIES to create a decagon shape. I left it open, and popped up, so that I could inset the final two triangle pieces into the space.

This gave me a chance to showcase all 12 designs of the DSP. And they pop against the Mossy Meadow card stock. I deliberately chose not to add any colour to this card other than the card stock and stamped sentiment.

I used the VINE DESIGN BUNDLE to stamp and die cut the sentiment banner.

This was also a perfect time to use some MATT BLACK DOTS.

One of the ways I enjoy using DSP is to use a strip of it on the inside of the card and on the back flap of the envelope.

Cutting the triangle shapes was so quick and easy using my MINI STAMPIN’ CUT & EMBOSS MACHINE – I call it my ‘little ‘boss‘ and my full sized machine my ‘big boss‘.

I’m very pleased with the way this card turned out. I really enjoy playing with new products AND new ideas.

What do you think?

I need to use my STITCHED TRAINGLES DIES more often!

Thanks, again, for popping by … happy stamping.

JUST ADD COLOUR

Hello lovely ones – thanks for popping by to see my latest project.

Yesterday I shared a card that used some of the TRUE LOVE DESIGNER SERIES PAPER. It only had a little bit of colouring and it was very subtle.

Today’s project brings the colour and lots of it. I used Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Highland Heather and Poppy Parade Blends to colour a 2-3/8″ (6cm) strip of one of the DSP designs.

The OVAL OCCASIONS BUNDLE was perfect for this gift box. The scalloped shape from the DOUBLE OVAL PUNCH is a great size for the top of the box.

I enjoy having gift boxes on hand – ready to fill and give.

The LINEN THREAD makes an awesome multiple bow. The CLEVER CLASP holds the opening closed very effectively.

Now it’s time fill it with lots of delicious chocolates and give it to someone special.

Thanks again for popping by … happy stamping.
