SUMMER FUN & HAPPINESS

This fun bundle went onto my wishlist the very moment I saw it. Let’s face it – I live in Queensland where sun, surf and summer adventures are mandatory.

And, then there’s the washi tape.

My first project uses the washi tape and the new White Gable Boxes.

The washi tape is the perfect width for these gable boxes, making this a super simple project.

I secured the washi tape around the box before adding a length to some white card. I used the dies to cut some of the elements and attach them to the box.

I stamped the Strawberry Slush greeting onto a piece of Basic White Thick card and then cut it using one of the Perennial Postage Dies.

I cut some additional elements, punch small holes and tie them to the handle.

The colours in the washi tape are bright and summery.

This first project is definitiely a favourite!

Tomorrow I will share a snappy little card with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

MOONLIT FLORA MAKES BEAUTIFUL PROJECTS

I have loved creating with this suite during the week.

Today I have a step card and a unique 3D project to share with you.

This Golden Glow and Secret Sea card has some added texture from a retired embossing folder.

The top of the centre panel was created using one of the Bordered in Beauty Dies.

The leaf stems and butterflies were cut from the Luxe White Specialty Designer Series Paper.

To colour the butterflies I used a Blending Brush to add Golden Glow to them.

I also added some Golden Glow Bordered Ribbon and Flat Pearls to the card.

The 3D project I want to share is a small gify box.

It is definitiely a measure twice, cut once type of project. It a little bit of figuring to get everything to work but I love how it turned out.

I enjoy the challenge of seeing a 3D project in my mind and then translating that into a 2D ‘plan’.

After I got the dimensions right and cut the box I added some of the Moonlit Flora DSP.

The Misty Moonlight Silver Edged Ribbon was secured to the box before I added some die cut and coloured leaf stems.

The greeting was stamped and die cut and added to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Last, but not least, I added some clear Dewdrops.

Next week I will be featuring the Summer Happiness Bundle and Washi Tape.

Until then, happy stampig.

MORE MOONLIT FLORA PROJECTS

I found a block of Whittakers West Coast Buttermilk Caramelised White Chocolate and decided to make a gift box to present it in … I thought the colour of the block would be perfect for the Golden Glow colour in the Designer Series Paper.

After making the gift box I added some the paper to the sides.

Then I die cut 6 leaves and used a Blending Brush to colour them.

I used one of the Phrases & Frames Dies to cut a frame for the box before stamping and cutting the greeting.

Several flowers were die cut and adhered to the box. The centres had some coloured pearls added.

I wrapped a length of Golden Glow Bordered Ribbon around the chocolate tray so that it could be easily pulled out.

Finally, I tied a bow and popped it on the box.

Tomorrow I have a card and a 3D project to share.

Until then, happy stamping.
