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.

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.
