SEASON OF GREEN AND GOLD BOOK TREAT BOX

Posted on by
1

I’m finally feeling a little bit of Christmas! This Book Treat Box was a lot of fun to cover and embellish. Without “littles” in my house or my neighborhood, Halloween doesn’t get the attention it used to – but I confess that I filled the box with Halloween candy!

  • Stamps: Greetings of the Season
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Old Olive, Garden Green
  • Accessories: Book Treat Box, Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Greetings of the Season dies, Layers of Beauty dies, Something Fancy dies, Gold Foil Paper, Season of Green and Gold DSP, Gold Trim, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I placed the sentiment focal point on the top of the box so that it could make a “keeper” for this little tab. The tab has adhesive on it, but you would have to tear the box open to get inside. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals on either end of the focal point to leave room for the tab.

Inside the box I layered a little sparkle. If you’re like me, the hardest part of something like this is figuring out which panel is on the inside and which panel is on the outside. I played around with it until I was certain, then made tiny little pencil marks on the panels that I wanted to embellish with DSP.

These adorable boxes are currently out of stock, but they’re expected back in the week of November 4. Keep an eye on the Online Store and get yours before they sell out again!

Our kits are on sale through the end of October! Save up to 30% on everything from cards to Christmas ornaments.

DIY OCTOBER 2024: REGAL FLORA

Posted on by
4

Didn’t think I needed another flower. Didn’t think I needed Regal Flora. Didn’t think I WOULD BE SO WRONG!

  • Stamps: Regal Flora (and yes, you need it too!)
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Pebble Path, Petal Pink, Calypso Coral
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Regal Flora dies, 24-26 In Color Shimmer Gems, Dauber, Stampin’ Dimensionals

This is such an easy technique to add depth to an image. Ink your stamp (I used Petal Pink) and dunk your dauber into another color (Calypso Coral in this example). Gently tap your dauber – you don’t want a circle of color, you want a gradation. Stamp! And admire your cleverness.

I also stamped off the Pebble Path background twice before I added it to the calendar page, and once before I stamped it for the stems.

I featured Regal Flora twice last month on the Maui Stamper, and pretty much stole THIS idea for my calendar. (HERE is the other one.) I could have chosen another color palette, but I like this one. Choose what you like at the Online Store.

Be sure you take a minute or two to visit Create with Cheryl and Hannie Joy and Crafts to see what Cheryl and Crystal have created for their October calendars. We’ve been making them since 2012 (wow). If you need inspiration, check out the archives!

RUSTIC SEASIDE WISHES

Posted on by

This card is a little bit outside the box for me – I don’t usually use this much bold color. The neutral tones of the sand dollars and other sea elements made me bold! And I do love Seaside Wishes 💕

  • Stamps: Seaside Wishes
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Crumb Cake, Coastal Cabana, Calypso Coral, Basic Beige, Pebble Path
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Seaside Wishes dies and Hybrid Embossing Folder, Country Woods DSP, Adhesive Back Dapple Dots, Blending Brush, Pebble Path Jute Trim, Stampin’ Dimensionals, wooden skewer

I dusted the sand dollars with a tiny bit of Crumb Cake, and tucked a bit of unraveled Pebbled Path Jute Trim behind the pieces. I curled the ends of the DSP and Coastal Cabana card stock with a bamboo skewer – it’s one of my favorite crafting secret weapons. I tore the edges of the Coastal Cabana panel and roughed the DSP with my trusty paper snips, so this entire card has a much more rustic feel.

I didn’t add a sentiment – do you think I should? I can’t decide if I should put something on the front or just stamp it inside.

Are you more rustic or more crisp? It was fun to explore this style, but I’m definitely more of a crisp and clean stamper. Doesn’t matter, whatever you need, you’ll find it in the Online Store.

It’s here and it’s glorious. Check out the September – December mini catalog. You’re gonna love it! We’ve also just launched two new holiday kits to help you create quick, beautiful projects.

CHANGING LEAVES as a SYMPATHY CARD

Posted on by
Reply

Changing Leaves is one of those Swiss Army Knife stamp sets – it can do just about anything. Today’s card is a good example: by crafting it in a monochromatic palette, it sets the stage for a thoughtful sympathy card.

  • Stamps: Changing Leaves, Country Flowers
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Pebble Path
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine, Changing Leaves dies and Hybrid Embossing Folder, Deckle Rectangle dies, 23-25 In Color Opaque Sparkle Dots, dauber, Pebble Path Jute Trim, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I used daubers to add a little depth to the leaf – the Hybrid Embossing folder added that gorgeous texture. I unraveled Pebbled Path Jute Trim and added a strand behind the leaf, shaping it as a bow but skipping the actual knot.

Sympathy cards are the sort of thing you often need with short notice. To make sure you’re prepared, check my supplies and shop the Online Store.
