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.
