A PERFECT PURPLE PACKET OF PANSY SEEDS

After my trio of pansy card yesterday, I made a 3D double slider gift card to hold a packet of pansy seeds.

Double slider cards are so much fun to make. In the past, I have made them to hold goodies as small as gift cards and as large as a block of Lindt chocolate.

The base for the double slider card was made from Blackberry Bliss card stock and was decorated with the small pansies design from the Pansy Petals 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper.

The Basic White and Blackberry Bliss internal layers had each of their corners rounded using the Detailed Trio Punch.

When you pull on the ribbon trimmed end of the card, both sides of the double slider card open out revealing the treat and greeting.

For the ribbons, I used some of the Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon and the white faux linen ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack. The white faux linen was coloured using the dark Evening Evergreen Stampin’ Blend pen. The ribbons were threaded through the punched hole and tied in a knot. Some extra lengths of the Pale Papaya Ribbon were cut in half lengthways and also tied through the punched hole.

The greeting is the same as the one I used in yesterday’s card.

I added some of the 2021 – 2023 In Colour Jewels to the front of this 3D project.

This is such a pretty pansy paper design. The flowers are so sweet, small and colourful.

Who would you send a packet of pansy seeds to?

Until next time, happy stamping.

A TRIO OF PURPLE PANSIES

It seems so long ago that I last used the Pansy Petals Suite. I am pleased that I pulled the Pansy Patch Stamp Set and Pansy Dies from my shelf to use for this project. And, I still had more than enough of the Pansy Petals 12’x 12″ Designer Series Paper for a few projects.

I also made a card that is predominantly white. just like yesterday’s GDP Challenge card.

I chose a gate fold card for this project with Basic White as the base. Then I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut a piece of Blackberry Bliss card stock and a slightly smaller die for a Basic White rectangle.

This Basic White rectangle was then embossed using the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. The two die cut rectangles were then glued together and a length of white Baker’s Twine, from the Essentials Pack, was wrapped around these layers and tied in a bow. I often pop a Mini Glue Dot behind a bow to ensure it stays in place.

Multipurpose Glue was added to one half of the back of the Blackberry Bliss and then positioned on the front left card flap.

I used the Pansy Dies to cut several purple pansies from the DSP. Three of them were placed over the brick embossed white panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then I tucked two die cut leaves under two of the flowers.

I stamped the sentiment, using Fresh Freesia ink, onto a piece of Basic White card before cutting it with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies. Then it was adhered inside the card.

Another purple pansy was adhered to the inside of the card and the front of the envelope.

Then I added some 2021 – 2023 In Colour Jewels to the front of the card and one inside the card.

Who would have thought that pansies and bricks would work so well together? What do you think?

Until next time, happy stamping.

KEEP CLEAN & CARRY ON

Hello to each of you. I am so grateful that you take the time to pop by and see my latest project.

Today I have a 3D project to share with you.

I recently purchased a small pump bottle of vanilla scented hand sanitiser and decided that I wanted to create a gift box to pop it into.

I selected this Basic Black and Cherry Cobbler checked piece of Designer Series Paper from the FREE Sale-a-bration Peaceful Prints DSP bundle.

The gift box was created using an A4 sheet of Basic Black card that then had panels of this checked DSP cut and adhered to each panel.

The greeting, from the Pansy Patch Stamp Set, was stamped onto a scrap of Cherry Cobbler card and was cut using a die from the Seasonal Layers Dies. This was cut a second time, using the same die, to make it smaller.

The Basic Black layer behind it was cut using the same die cut at full size. After they were glued together, the panels were then popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

This sentiment is perfect for the bottle of hand sanitiser!

A length of Black & White Gingham Ribbon was tied around the neck of hand sanitiser bottle and finished as a bow.

Finally, I added some Matte Black Dots to decorate thefornt of the box.

It has been a while since my last 3D project and I am so happy with this one. I think that I will take it down to the office of our apartment building tomorrow morning for visitors to use.

Until next time, happy stamping.
