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.

HERE IS MY CI#162 COLOUR INKSPIRATION PROJECT

Welcome to 162nd challenge at Colour INKspiration!

Today’s picture which has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Colour INKspiration Crew Member, Rose Packer . What a stunning snow scene image.

As well as the chosen colour combination for #CI162, Azure Afternoon, Boho Blue, Early Espresso and Very Vanilla, you may also add Basic White, Crumb Cake, Basic Black and metallics to your project. We also allow ‘Ivory’, ‘Bronze’ and ‘Natural Tones’ in the Stampin’ Blends. If you don’t have the colours in our palette, feel free to use the closest Stampin’ Up! substitute.

Challenge guidelines:

· Create a NEW project made specifically for this challenge.

· Use all of the challenge colours (or close substitutions) unless stated.

· Upload only ONE picture per entry straight to the discussion wall and NOT in an album.

CI#162 will run for almost TWO weeks and will end at 7 pm (AEDT) on Monday April 8th.

We hope you can participate this round and look forward to seeing a variety of projects using the challenge colours. Happy stamping!

For my project I chose to use the Let’sChat Stamp Set.

For this card I used a Very Vanilla card base.

I stamped the telephone bases in each of the challenge colours and then fussy cut them. The handset was stamped, fussy cut and has Clear Wink of Stella painted across it.

The two blue telephone bases were adhered directly onto the card base.

I roughly positioned the Early Espresso base and made a light pencil mark to guide the placement of the greeting image. Once it was stamped, I then placed the headset using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the ‘ring’ several times on the card front, inside the card and on the back of the envelope using the Azure Afternoon and Boho Blue inks.

Finally, I added some of the Very Vanilla Classic Matte Dots to the card front.

Until my next Colour INKspiration project, happy stamping.

THIS WEEK’S GLOBAL DESIGN PROJECT CHALLENGE #GDP438

I am a few days earlier than usual sharing my project for the latest challenge.

This week’s challenge is a SKETCH CHALLENGE.

Make sure that click on the image below to be directed to the GDP page to check out all the amazing projects the DEsign Team have created; as well as the ‘entries’ from card makers around the world.

i decided to use the soon to be released Country Birdhouse Bundle from the Country Woods Suite Collection.

The Country Woods Designer Series Paper is amazing – this is where I started. The Misty Moonlight weathered wood design and the multicoloured timber design were my choices.

I made a Misty Moonlight card base and added a panel of the weathered timber DSP.

Following the Sketch Challenge layout, I cut a piece of Basic Beige and embossed it with the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I adhered it directly onto the card front.

Then I set about creating my birdhouse.

I stamped the birdhouse image onto the multicoloured timber paper and die cut it. At the same time I added the two small round dies to cut out the circles in the birdhouse.

Then I cut the roof and bottom piece in Pool Party and the barge board in Petal Pink.

I stamped the birthday greeting on the Pool Party lower panel.

After adhering these three die cut pieces to the front of the birdhouse I attached pieces of Foam Adhesive Sheets to the back.

I cut a panel of Petal Pink timber from the DSP and added it to the bottom of the card front.

A scrap of the Misty Moonlight DSP was adhered to a scrap of matching cardstock and then cut using the bow die. I trimmed the long strip from above the bow and then secured it to the card front.

Finally, I stamped the bird three times – once on a scrap of Basic Beige card and on the card insert and envelope. The first bird was die cut and then coloured using Pecan Pie and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends and was painted with Clear Wink of Stella.

Tomorrow I have a Magnolia Mood 3D Project for you.

Until then, happy stamping.
