mmm...Stampin' Time

Well, Wednesday night and Thursday were not what I expected. Life can sometimes be a littlie complicated and you just have to prioritise. So, yesterday, family first and back to creating today.

My 3D Thursday project is here for you now.

I decided to start using the new 2022 – 2023 In Colours.

I made a simple gift box to hold a Mini Jam Jar filled with large Skittles.

The gift box and gumball machine were made using the new Parakeet Party A4 cardstock. The dome was made using Basic White cardstock.

The gumball machine images were stamped using the Tuxedo Black Memento ink pad. After they were stamped, the three components were then die cut.

I used all of the five new In Colours to stamp the gumballs in the ‘dome’.

I used a piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock to cut a large circle using the Sytlish Shapes Dies. Then I used the dots folder from the Chexks & Dots Embossing Folders.

After assembling the gumball machine, it was placed on the embossed circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added more dimensionals under the circle before adding it to the front of the gift box.

Each element of the greeting was stamped, using Sweet Sorbet ink, on a piece of Basic White cardstock. These were then cut individually so they could be seperated and layered up on the front of the gift box.

Two lengths of Orchid Oasis Metallic Woven Ribbon were ties in a double bow and secured to the front of the gift box using a Mini Glue Dot.

A Mini Jam Jar, filled with large Skittles, was placed in the gift box.

The sentiment is so cute.

It has been fun using other products with the Gumball Greetings Bundle. I love the versatiliity and coordination of all the Stampin’ Up!® products in current catalogues.

My Fun Fold Friday project will be posted soon.

Until then, happy stamping.

This time, it is a project that I made for the Colour INKspiration #119. I am enjoying being part of the Design Crew.

This colour palette is so sweet – thank goodness I am featuring the Gumball Greetings Bundle this week. It is prefectly sweet way to showcase these colours.

I decided to create a slimline card for this project.

I started by stamping three of the small gumball machines using Versamark on Basic White cardstock. After sprinkling gold embossing powder, from the Metallic Stampin’ Emboss Powders™, across the three gumball machines and shaking off any excess I heat embossed the powder.

Before die cutting the three small gumball machines; I used the Fresh Freesia, Flirty Flamingo, Magenta Madness and Pool Party Stampin’ Write Markers™ to colour most of the gumballs in each machine.

I prepared the slimline card by cutting a cardbase from Thick Basic White A4 cardstock measuring 8-1/2″x 7″ and scoring the 7″ side at 3-1/2″.

I scored three lines on the bottom edge of the card front, at 1/2″, 3/4″ and 1″ from that bottom edge.

Using a 8-1/2″x 2-3/8″ piece of Gold Shimmer Vellum, I created this shiny gold background for the gumball machines.

The sentiment was also stamped and heat embossed in gold. I used two of the new banner dies, from the Stylish Shapes Dies, for the sentimment and a gold accent.

I tied a gold double bow using the Simply Elegant Trim bundle and secured it with a Mini Glue Dot. Finally, a few Gilded Gems were added to the card front.

It was fun using these colours with the Gumball Greetings Bundle.

Make sure you check out the Colour INKspiration Facebook page to see all the projects made for this challenge. Even better, you should join us. I look forward to seeing what you make.

Tomorrow is 3D Thursday and I think my project will involve gumballs.

Until then, happy stamping.

Whew … it is an hour and 10 minutes before this post will go live. I finished my project 5 mnutes ago. That’s calling it close.

The theme this week is use Acetate/Window Sheets in our projects … can be a shaker card, window card, peek thru or even just an acetate layer that has been stamped or embossed.

Because I have left this project until the last moment, I decided to use one of the soon to be retired acetate packaging boxes – C6 Acetate Card Boxes.

I assembled the box, adding Mini Glue Dots to hold the base inserts in place.

I made a 4-1/4″ belly band, using the new Parakeet Party 2022 – 2024 In Colour A4 cardstock, and fitted it around the acetate box.

Using the Parakeet Party Metallic Woven Ribbon, I wrapped the ribbon around the box three times and tied a bow.

I used all the 2022 – 2024 In Colours to stamp, colour and die cut the gumballl machine.

The sentiment was stamped in Parakeet Party and was then cut using one of the square Stylish Shapes Dies.

The machine and sentiment pieces were then placed on the belly band using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The last thing I did was to fill the acetate box with SKittles Giants.

This was a quick, easy and fun project to make for this blog hop.

Make sure that you see what the other Freshly Brewed Project Team members have created.

Tomorrow is 3D Thursday, however my post will be a little later in the day.

Until then, happy stamping.
