ONE MORE SUMMER HAPPINESS PROJECT

My final Summer Happiness project is a 3D box that holds a packet of Tic Tacs.

This is one of my measure twice and cut once projects.

I think that my high school maths teacher would be pleased to see how I developed this 2D to 3D skill.

This flip top box was designed to fit a packet of colourful Tic Tacs.

After the box was created I added panels of DSP.

I stamped the greeting in Secret Sea and the flip flops in Crushed Curry.

Then I added some Secret Sea Flat Pearls.

Next week I will feature another product suite.

Until then, happy stamping.

FLIP FLOPS ON & WALKING UP THE BEACH

For this Summer Happiness card I used some of the coloured flip flops from my first card to make this one.

I wanted it to look like someone was walking up the beach – one flip flop in front of the other.

All of these colours coordinate with the colours in the washi tape.

After adhering the thongs in place I added the sentiment and then In Colour Flat Pearls.

Being an Aussie means that I have flip flops – thongs – pluggers in my life experience.

This stamp and die set bundle are absolutely perfect for my Australian summer experience.

Tomorrow I have a little 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

SUMMER IS ALL ABOUT FLIP FLOPS ON THE BEACH

When I saw the Summer Happiness Stamp Set and coordinating dies I was also drawn to the flip flops – thongs – pluggers. These iconic rubber footwear goes by many names. My husband prefers double pluggers.

I have made two card using the flip flop dies. Today I will share the first and tomorrow the second.

For both cards, I made them using all the colours in the washi tape.

Who would have thought that you could create a flip flop wreath! I’m feeling a bit clever.

I made a 5″x5″ card so that I could fit 6 pairs of pluggers on the card front.

Well, this photo is a little wonky but it still shows off my plugger card.

I stamped the greeting with Crushed Curry and secured it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The final steps involved stamping the flip flops inside the card and on the back of the envelope … and adding some Secret Sea Flat Pearls.

Tomorrow I have another flip flop card for you.

Until then, happy stamping.
