mmm...Stampin' Time

Today I have three decorated milk cartons to share with you.

They are all 2″x 2″ but vary in height. The smaller one is 1 3/4″, the medium is 2 3/4″ and the larger is 3 3/4″.

They also vary in base colour and the choice of Designer Series Paper.

The smaller milk carton has a Cloud Cover base; the medium has a Peaceful Pine base and the larger has a Daffodil Delight base.

Each of the milk cartons have coordinating Velvet Meadow Specialty Designer Series Paper attached.

Each of the greetings were stamped in coordinating colours and cut out using the 3 Banner Punch.

Each sentiment was then added to a panel cut using one of the Scalloped Blooms Dies.

Each milk carton was secured using three different ribbons – white Baker’s Twine, Berry Burst Shiny Ribbon and Peaceful Pine Bordered Ribbon.

The finishing touch was to add some of the Dreamy Flowers embellishments to the front of each carton.

Tomorrow I have a stationery project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and memory keeping.

Today I have two shadow gift boxes to share with you.

I love doing the maths and pattern making for these boxes. They result in an elegant way to present a gift to someone special.

Both boxes feature the Velvet Meadow Speciality Designer Series Paper.

The first one is a square box measuring 4″ across by 1/2″ deep.

The internal space will hold a 3″x 3″ item.

The DSP I chose has Basic White, Cloud Cover and Peaceful Pine as well as white flocking florals.

I used Cloud Cover for the box and the base of the slide on cover.

I stamped the greeting using the new Basic Black Hybrid Ink onto Cloud Cover card. Then I cut it out using the 3 Banner Punch.

After adding Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the punched greeting Iadded it to the top of the box.

To ensire the shadow box slides easily out from the lid I wrapped a length of Cloud Cover Faux Linen Ribbon around it and tied a bow.

Finally I added some of the white Dreamy Flowers to the top of the box cover.

The second shadow gift box is longer and thinner – 5″x 1 7/8″x 1 1/2″.

I made two of these boxes and used different DSP and ribbon to style them. Each box holds a different body care product.

Both greetings are from the Flowering Meadow Stamp Set and as you can see I have used the 3 Banner Punch again.

The box bases have been made with THick Basic White A4 card and Berry Burst A4 card.

When I make 3D projects I enjoy taking the time to carefully measure and plan out how best to cut DSP so that patternswrap around the box and align.

I chose two different ways to use the ribbons – the Peaceful Pine was wrapped around the outside of the box and tied in a bow at the top and the Bubble Bath ribbon was tied around the box insert and tied in a bow at the top.

Each box was decorated differently, as you can see.

Tomorrow I have another three 3D projects to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and memory keeping.
