Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Kraft Gift Box

Hi

Just a quick blog post to share a little project with you.

I made these gorgeous little Kraft Gift Boxes for some work colleagues...I filled them with yummy chocolate chip cookies and decorated the boxes so they looked just as delicious. :)

Sorry about the photos, they were taken on my iPhone on the white bench at work under fluoro lights....they don't look as good as my usual shots.

I used the Lullaby DSP and layered it onto Whisper White. I stamped the bold flower image from Mixed Bunch in Crisp Cantaloupe, punched a small scallop circle from Baked Brown Sugar CS and then stamped the small circle motif onto whisper White and then punched with the 3/4 circle punch. I layered them all with dimensionals and added the flower to the top of the box. I grabbed some retired Baked Brown Sugar ribbon to finish off the box (but you could use some of the Baked Brown Sugar twine - that would also look cool).

I got this idea from a fellow demonstrator who I roomed with at the Stampin' Up! Convention a couple of years ago....it is such a great gift idea...I have used this recipe quite a lot. :)

Cheers

Dear Stampin' friends,

 

Is this a card that isn't for a challenge blog???  Why yes.....yes, it is!! LOL
This card is based on a template that we SU demonstrators got in one of our bi-monthly magazines, Impressions. It is a great resource and one that always contains fantastic ideas.

I liked this card because it used some of the new In Colors and had that gorgeous layered flower! :) 

 

Happy Stampin'
Cheers

Stampin' Up! Mixed Bunch - Dynamic Duos #12

Hello!

There is a wonderful new challenge blog called Dynamic Duos .It is really cool....check it out!

This week's Dynamic Duo Challenge is Poppy Parade + Basic Black with a 'dessert option' of punches.

For my card, I used the Scandinavian design from Stampin' Up! Mixed Bunch....I like this stamp as it reminds me of Kikki K stationery, or something that you might see on an Ikea cushion! :)

I layered this punch onto a 'sneak peek' stamp (yet to be released here in Australia, but not long now if you can hold out until 1st September). I was lucky enough to receive this stamp set at Convention back in May. :)

This was going to be a very Clean & Simple card, but to continue the 'punches' theme,  I had thought of doing a ribbon banner with punched out windows, so I used my Itty Bitty Punches and a strip of Basic Black cardstock and punched out a series of them. I layered this onto some Basic Black satin ribbon.

I haven't added a sentiment as I thought I'd keep my options open....plus it would just be my luck to smudge the last thing that I stamped, so I thought I would quit while I was ahead!! LOL!

Hope you like my card!! :)
