Hello! How has your crafting week been so far? Thank you for popping by to see today’s project and I hope that it inspires you.
I wanted to make a 3D project using the Hey Birthday Chick Bundle.
I used Shimmery White card stock to water colour the belly band background. Balmy Blue for the sku, Granny Apple Green for the grass and Soft Suede for the soil. The Water Painters make water colouring so easy. While the ink was drying, I started the die cutting – the chicken coop/barn, the wire fence, the corn stalks and the ears of corn.
This is such a fun project to give to someone who enjoys gardening and growing their own vegetables. I thought the greeting was fun to use – if I give this to someone who likes growing their own food because I would tell them ‘you can do this’ because I know that I can’t. The sentiment is from the Forever Fern Stamp Set.
Then it was time to assemble. Using Adhesive Sheets behind the Basic Gray card stock makes securing the wire fences to the front of the band. The Acetate Card Boxes are a prefect size for the two packets of corn seeds I placed inside.
TIP: when I am forming the acetate box, I place a mini glue dot on each small flap that make up part of the bottom of the box. This secures the bottom of the box and stops the bottom flap opening.
Who would you send this green thumb gift to? I think I will send this to a demonstrator I know who does grow her own vegetables.
Happy stamping.
