BOHO BIRTHDAY GIFT BOX

The designer series paper in the BOHO INDIGO PRODUCT MEDLEY is one of my favourites. I love the two blue tones, Misty Moonlight and Night of Navy, used alongside Very Vanilla.

This cute little 3″x 3″ x 1″ box can fit all sorts of chocolate treats or other goodies inside.

Using the corner rounder from the DETAILED TRIO PUNCH leaves a soft edge to the DSP pieces and front flap.

The Medley also has these gorgeous paper flowers. There are two sizes and I love the way they are finished with a little wooden bead.

I was able to punch the small round hole, for the ribbon, using the LABEL ME FANCY PUNCH.

This is such a lovely little gift box and I am so pleased with the way it finished up.

What would you put inside?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

These are the products I used to make the gift box. If you live in Australia, you can order any of them through me.

HOUSE WARMING GIFT

When I first saw the HEARTWARMING HUGS SUITE I didn’t put it on my list … initially.

After I combed through the AUGUST – DECEMBER MINI CATALOGUE, I gave it a longer study and tried to think of other ways I could use some of the products.

A few ideas started developing … and I also started looking at other products I could use …

Eventually, this is what I decided on – a house warming gift carrier.

The cruet set is a little tall for the carrier, but it shows you what I was thinking. I need to try two mini bubbles bottles next.

A little colouring, using Stampin’ Blends

It took two stamp sets to create the greeting.

So the project was a collaboration between the HEARTWARMING HUGS SUITE and the TRIMMING THE TOWN SUITE … and nothing Christmas related in site.

Now I just have to wait now to find someone who is moving into a new home to give them a house warming gift.

One of the great features of the TRIMMING THE TOWN DSP is that the HOME TOGETHER DIES die cut the house images perfectly.

So you can either stamp and colour all the little houses and die cut them or just die cut the DSP!

I’m going to enjoy finding goodies to pop inside the carrier and then decorate accordingly.

I may also create something using the coffee cups – so many things to create – projects for another day.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

MISSING YOU

Who do you miss at the moment?

There are so many family and friends that we haven’t been able to see, in person, for quite a while. And, we don’t know when we can.

For so many people the restrictions are even more isolating than it is for me.

I have a niece, living alone in Melbourne, who will soon be able to have one nominated visitor.

I’m in the process of putting together a care package for her, filled with goodies to enjoy. I am going to add this card so that she can send it to someone she misses.

I totally adore the LOYAL LEAVES STAMP SET. The shape and the details of the leaves are stunning.

For this card, I wanted to heat emboss the images using the clear STAMPIN’ EMBOSS POWDER before water colouring them.

And, as some of you may already know – I do not relish fussy cutting but this was worth it.

I think this was the first time I used the BRICK AND MORTAR 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER – I don’t know why, it’s fantastic and worked as a great background.

I hope Scout likes it and has someone special to send it to.

Who would you send a ‘missing you’ card to?
