The first of three pre-order BBBs arrived from Stampin’ Up this morning … so I had to start playing.
(For those who have not experienced SU abbreviations before – BBB stands for big brown box – although mine was really only a MBB, it’s more fun to dream of BBBs arriving, filled with goodies).
I was able to play with the Gift Bag Punch Board in the Product Playground at Convention last week, so I was really excited that it arrived today.
I used Whisper White cardstock and a stamp from the ‘I Think You’re Great’ stamp set in the new catalogue – this was our stamp set for convention. The background is stamped in Island Indigo and Marina Mist … not using ink pads or the full stamp image … how do you think it was done?
The gift bag has a square base … not quite the way the small, medium and large bags are finished … any ideas?
You may need to join in my first Tool Time class which will feature the Gift Bag Punch Board. Check out my Stampin’ Up blog for class times soon … http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/mmmstampintime/
Before my order had arrived, I was using another stamp from the “I Think You’re Great’ stamp set and the 2014-2016 in colour markers to create a range of different backgrounds (it would have been the new 2015-2017 in colours if they had arrived … soon!)
I’m really pleased with the effects they produced.
Now, here’s a little colour play I had at Convention … I wish I had taken a pile of Whisper White cardstock with me!
As you can see – it’s amazing the way different colour combinations can give the same image such variety. I am looking forward to using the new in colours very soon!
