I am still working my way through my stamp sets, dies and other products – to find those sitting on my shelves that I have not used very often.
Today I need to get creative with the BEST YEAR STAMP SET (not used at all) and the BEST PLAID BUILDER DIES ( used once).
Who else has Stampin’ Up!® products that they have never used – or used, just once or twice? We are still have our 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue for seven months, so I totally want to get the most out of what I have – just in case any of them are retired.
As a demonstrator, I choose to find new homes for retired products. I want to be able to share projects with my friends and customers that use products they can order because they are current.
This project has been gurgling away in my mind for quite some time.
I wanted to make a gift box using the dies. So, I took some measurements and did some sketching. I like to plan before I start cutting and glueing.
The end result is a gift box measuring 6″x 6″x 4.5″.
The plaid was created by die cutting one layer in Poppy Parade and the second layer in Night of Navy. These layers were then adhered to pieces of Whisper White cardstock, measuring 6.5″x 4.75″.
The box lid was created by using a 12″x 12″ piece of Night of Navy cardstock, cut down to 10″x 10″ and scored at 2″ on each side.
I used my STAMPARATUS to stamp one of the GIFT WRAPPED bows onto the Whisper White box lid, in Night of Navy. – four times around the cardstock. Then, I punched BOWS from some Night of Navy cardstock and bow centres from Poppy Parade card. The Night of Navy bows were curled using a bone folder.
The sentiment was coloured using the Stampin’ Write Markers™ Night of Navy and Poppy Parade. It was cut using the STITCHED RECTANGLES DIES.
I stamped and punched out each the bows that are adhered to the four sides of the gift box. The Poppy Parade bow has been popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
As I mentioned before, this gift box measures 6″x 6″x 4.5″. It is quite a large gift box – what would you pop inside it? Who would you give it to?
Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
These are the products I used to make this gift box. If you live in Australia, I would be very happy to help you place an order for any of them.
