CUSTOM ORDER

Last night I had a stall at the Dockside Twilight Markets – my very poor reason for not posting yesterday.

I did, however, post an image on my Instagram account of the stall and my new black and white banner. A huge thank you to my friend Katerina who cut and applied the letters to each of the flags. Then I laminated and trimmed them. It was just as well that I did because there was the chance of some rain.

While there were lots of people milling around, things were quiet. I have met lots of other lovely vendors and it’s great to be able to have a chat between people popping by.

One lady did look for some Christmas packaging for some gifts. There were a couple of options but she wanted three gift boxes that were similar. There was one I had made using the RECTANGLE TINS from the AUGUST – DECEMBER MINI CATALOGUE. She also liked some of the papers from the MOST WONDERFUL TIME DSP.

So this was an opportunity to offer to make some for her Friday morning. She was very happy with that.

Here they are:

The gift cards are just 2″ square. I’m sure that the light pink coloured lip balms will look fabulous in these tins.

I hope that Jo likes them and her gift recipients as well.

This experience reminds me of the value of talking and listening. If I hadn’t, then I wouldn’t have been able to make these boxes.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

GLOBAL DESIGN CHALLENGE

This week’s GDP#269 is a COLOUR CHALLENGE.

I mentioned, in an early post, that one of my goals is to participate in more blog hops and challenges – this is week two and I’m still enjoying the challenge.

I have been playing with the new BLENDING BRUSHES, that will be available to customers from January, when our new January to June Mini Catalogue goes live.

So, I decided to use the brushes to blend Garden Green and Just Jade as onto Whisper White cardstock. Then I used that to cut a branch from the BEAUTIFUL BOUGHS DIES. I also cut two more branches from vellum.

I overlapped the branches and secured them using mini glue dots. The REAL RED BRAIDED LINEN TRIM was perfect to tie a bow around the branches. I finished this part of the card with a generous application of CLEAR WINK OF STELLA.

The layer of Whisper White was given texture using the SUBTLE 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER.

A piece of PLUSH POINSETTIA SPECIALTY PAPER was placed over the textured layer. I popped a few dimensionals under the branches before placing into position.

The Real Red MERRY CHRISTMAS was cut using the WORD WISHES DIES. The cardstock had someFOAM ADHESIVE SHEET so that it would have height on the card front.

The final, blingy element comes courtesy of some RED RHINESTONE BASIC JEWELS.

Two smaller branches were cut from the same blended background and attached to the card insert and envelope fornt.

It’s the first of December and getting closer to Christmas. This may well be one f the last Christmas cards I make this year.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

These are the products I used to make this card. If you live in Australia, I will be happy to help you place an order for any of them.
