Soda Pop Top Kraft Box

Hello Everyone

Today I am sharing a Kraft Gift Box, covered in the Comfort Cafe designer series paper and featuring the Collage Curios stamp set. The stamp set works so well with the Soda Pop Tops.

If you want to see how to cover one of these boxes, I did a video a little while back - go take a look if you haven't seen it.

A little video today especially for Karen, who wanted some tips for assembling the box made with our Mini Milk Carton die from Stampin' Up!

Hope that was helpful Karen! If you have any special video requests, let me know.

Collage Curios Card

Hello Everyone

Today I am sharing one of the cards we made in class this month. We used the delicious Comfort Cafe Designer Series Paper, and stamped the background at the bottom of the card with the En Francais background stamp.

We added half of one of the Paper Doilies from the Spring/Summer catalogue from Stampin' Up! We topped it with images from the Collage Curios stamp set. We heat embossed the ring with Gold Embossing Powder.

Do you see that Natural Trim Ribbon - also from the Spring/Summer catalogue. I just cut a couple of inches and frayed the bottom to get that effect.

I picked up the ink colours from the paper for the greeting, (Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla and Cajun Craze).

Here is another version I did with this design. I used the Soda Pop Tops, whose sizes match up with Collage Curios.

You can see on the close up that while the small Soda Pop Top is as it comes in the packet, the larger one has been run through the Big Shot to flatten our the edges. I played for a while until I got this right and used some thick card to protect my plates.

I hope you like todays cards. Back soon with more.

Tea for Two Rose Card

Hello Everyone

On Tuesday I posted a video featuring some tiny square swaps I was making. There are all sorts of things you can do with little squares of art like this, but I decided to use on on this card.

It goes so well with the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper. I also used the Victora Lace Trim and added a pearl to the middle of the flower and a little row of them under the square.

The greeting comes from Sassy Salutations, punched out with the Scallop Oval Punch and then layered on a shape cut with the Apothecary Accents die.

I hope you like it. Back on Sunday with something in a completely different style. :)

VIDEO Tiny Collage Curios Swaps

Hello Everyone

A bit of a different video today. This was for a swap I am taking part in. Everyone makes a tiny square of artwork...here is mine! These are just 1 3/8" squares.

Having filmed the video, I went ahead and made 20 - this is my assembly line...

And here they all are...

I hope my fellow demos like them. :) For a project using the one I created on the video, visit again on Friday.
