3D THURSDAY HAS ROLLED AROUND AGAIN!

For today’s projects I used some of the card bases from the kit.

I made two different sized gift boxes.

I made the larger gift box using two of the cardbases. The cards were scored and trimmed before being glued together to make the box.

The second gift box, perfect to pop a chocolate into, was made with just one card.

I used the Unbounded Love and Stylish Shapes Dies to cut the backgrounds for the heat embossed greetings.

The gold shapes and greetings were added to the top of boxes using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The weight of the cards is perfect for making sturdy gift boxes.

Tomorrow i have a fun fold card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

EACH WEDNESDAY POST WILL INCLUDE A WEEKLY UPDATE AS WELL AS A NEW PROJECT

So here is this week’s update!

Firstly, I have some sad news. The manufacturer of the Paper Snips Scissors (103579) is no longer making this product. Believe it or not, there are no paper snips available – they existing Australian stock is already gone.

Something amazing is in the works! After months of planning (and years of discussion!), Stampin’ Up! is rolling out a brand-new promotion for demonstrators and customers: the Product of the Month! Stay tuned for more information.

Here is today’s project.

I started with a Basic White card base.

One of the Petal Pink and white strip cards was cut in half and trimmed to coordinate with the card base.

Before attaching the striped panel to the card base I took a length of Petal Pink Braided Trim and pulled it apart. I took five strands and wrapped them around the panel, tied a knot and secured them with Tear and Tape.

After I added the striped panel to the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Then I took the Petal Pink scalloped panel, from the kit, and attached it the card front.

I added several cake elements to the card and then used gold embossing powder to create the greeting.

The card insert and envelope had the pie elements added to them.

Tomorrow I have two 3D projects to share with you.

TODAY IS TECHNIQUE & TIPS TUESDAY

Today’s project combines watercollouring and heat embossing techniques.

I started with a Lost Lagoon cardbase and then worked on the watercoloured panel.

I used a piece of Fluid 100 watercolour paper.

TIP: Use a wide paintbrush to lay down some water across paper.

TIP: Add a few drops of ink to a large block. Then gradually apply the ink using the same paintbrush.

Use the Heat Tool to dry the watercoloured paper.

I used the splatters images from the Elements of Text Stamp Set, Versamark ink and WOW gold embossing powder to add gold to this paper.

To create the two notebook pages, I used a die from the Just a Note dies. The top page was made from the watercoloured paper. The second was made from half of one of the cardbases from the kit.

These pages were overlapped and then I wrapped a length of the Lost Lagoon Soft Cording around the layers and tied a bow.

These layered pages were then secured on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Then I added three of the single cake elements from the kit using dimensionals.

The greeting was stamped and then heat embossed.

TIP: Use the Stampin’ Buddy, from the Embossing Additions Tool Kit, to ensure there are no oils on the paper so that more embossing powder sticks to the Versamark.

The splatter image and greeting were stamped on the card insert and the back of the envelope.

I didn’t add any further embellishments to the card because I thought the gold embossing was enough.

Tomorrow I will have another project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
