FRANGIPANIS

Chocolate wasn’t the only thing I bought on Monday to make a gift box for. I found some very fragrant soaps.

I chose a lemongrass and lemon myrtle soap for myself and a frangipani and evening primrose soap as a house guest gift.

When I saw the frangipani soap, I knew it would coordinate perfectly with the TROPICAL OASIS SUITE.

The gift box was decorated with panels cut from one of the TROPICAL OASIS DSP sheets and I used one of the floral stickers from the TROPICAL OASIS MEMORIES & MORE CARD PACK.

I stamped ‘TO: FROM:’ from the SO SENTIMENTAL STAMP SET and used the LABEL ME LOVELY and LABEL ME FANCY PUNCHES for the gift tag.

The lid was secured by attaching some DAFFODIL DELIGHT RUCHED RIBBON behind the gift tag.

I hope that our next guest enjoys their gift.

Thanks for dropping by … happy stamping.

FOR ALL MY NEW ZEALAND FRIENDS

I was shopping on Monday and wanted to buy some goodies to make gift boxes for. When I found an ARTISAN COLLECTION block of chocolate from New Zealand, it went straight into my trolley.

The colours and images of the packaging were perfect for a Stampin’ Up! ® project: Rich Razzleberry and gold embossed palm trees from the TIMELESS TROPICAL STAMP SET and coordinating IN THE TROPICS DIES, as well as some of the coordinating embellishments from the suite.

Everyone knows that chocolate is delicious; so a layered, die cut Yummilicious sentiment from the SO SENTIMENTAL BUNDLE was the only way to complete the gift box.

Now that I have made the gift box, I can try the Whittaker’s Hawke’s Bay Black Doris Plum and Roasted Almond Chocolate – it sounds delicious!

It’s tough work, but someone has to do it!

Thanks for dropping by … happy stamping.

A WELL DRESSED MAN

I seem to be on a masculine project roll this week.

Today’s card is quite simple but looks very presented, like the stamps in the WELL DRESSED STAMP SET from the Sale-a-bration Second Release Brochure.

I decided to also use a sentiment and DSP from the COUNTRY CLUB SUITE.

I used my STAMPARATUS to hinge stamp the graphic on the right hand side of the card. I stamped the image three times, with a double hinge step between each. Then I placed the stamp in the opposite direction to complete the design.

I used my Garden Green Marker to colour the Happy Father’s Day section of this stamp:

I have used the Stitched Rectangles Dies so many times since adding it to my craft collection. I used the same die for both stamped pieces but used the die again to create the square for the sentiment.

Although Father’s Day is not until September, in Australia, I have a card ready for the occasion.

Thanks for dropping by … happy stamping.
