mmm...Stampin' Time

Hello to each of my crafting friends. Thank you for popping by today. I am so pleased that you take the time to visit my page.

It is a Wednesday and that means it’s time for a Freshly Brewed Project Blog Hop. This week’s theme is Black & White.

This is the perfect theme to use the Beautifully Penned 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper that is one of the FREE products in the August and September Sale-a-bration Brochure. You can add this to a minimum $90 order (before postage) as your Sale-a-bration gift.

For this project I decided to make a version of a Triple Layer card.

I chose three different patterns from the DSP bundle to accentuate the black and white. The pieces of DSP were adhered to a Basic Black layer. Before they were layered up using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals, a length of Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon was wrapped around the spotted layer.

For this card I chose not to have all layers symmetrically arranged.

The greeting is from the Biggest Wish Stamp Set and was boldly stamped using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto Basic White cardstock. This piece also had Black Stampin’ Dimensionals used to lift it up from the card front.

A second length of the Glittered Organdy Ribbon was cut in half and slightly frayed. I added a length of Silver Simply Elegant Trim to the ribbon and tied a bow before securing it in place with a Mini Glue Dot.

Some additional DSP was added to the card insert and the envelope.

I wasn’t sure if I should add some Silver Metallic Pearls or not. After I finished taking these photos, I decided to see what they would look like. They looked good, so I left them in place.

Hello and thank you for popping by.

It is still meant to be be Winter here in Australia but, where I live, it already feels more like Spring. If it feels like Spring then Summer is just around the corner.

For today’s project I am featuring the Shaded Summer Stamp Set and FREE coordinating Summer Shadows Dies. The dies can be found in the August – September Sale-a-bration Brochure.

I knew that I wanted to use the large banner style die from the Stocking Dies. I cut three pieces of Fresh Freesia cardstock. Two of the them were trimmed back and then stamped. All three were given added texture from the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. This embossing folder is one of my all time favourites – the texture it leaves is stunning.

A layer of Basic White cardstock was also embossed before being adhered to the front of the card. The banner pieces were added to the card front – two were glued and the centre was popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Several flowers were cut and attached to the card front. A single Soft Succulent leaf was cut and added.

The greeting was stamped and fussy cut before being added to the card. The inside of the card and envelope were stamped also. And, the final touch was to pop a few 2021 – 2023 In Colour Jewels to the front of the card.

The Summer Shadows Dies are going to be so lovely to make more projects with. The flowers are so pretty and layer beautifully.

Who would you say thank you to with this card?

Until next time, happy stamping.

Hello and welcome to my latest project share. I am so pleased that you taken the time to pop by.

Today’s project is a simple 3D gift box. It was designed to hold a lovely, large block of Whittaker’s Hazelnut chocolate.

The gold and dark brown colours of the chocolate packaging inspired the colours used for the gift box.

I used 12″x 12″ Early Espresso cardstock, Gold Brushed Metallic cardstock, Gold Shimmer Vellum and White Vellum. The flip top gift box was constructed first. Then the top and sides of the box had slightly smaller pieces of Brushed Metallic cardstock secured.

A piece of Early Espresso cardstock was stamped using greetings from the Nothing’s Better Than Stamp Set – ‘Today’s Plan: Consume’ and ‘ Because Adulting is Hard’. This peice was then embossed using the checks from the Checks & Dots Embossing Folder.

A matching length of Gold Shimmer Vellum was cut using one of the Basic Borders Dies. It was adhered to the embossed Early Espresso layer. Then a piece of White Vellum attached as well. Black Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to pop this layered panel in the centre of the gift box top.

The ‘Chocolate’ was cut using one of the Love You More Than Dies. A piece Adhesive Sheet was attached to the back of the foil before cutting.

Several stamped and die cut chocolates were also added to the top of the gift box.

Finally, a length of Early Espresso Faux Suede Trim was tied around the gift box to hold the lid in place.

mmm … it is a very tasty looking block of chocolate!

Who would you give this to?

Until next time, happy stamping.
