I had an idea...

I was thinking about ways to use some of the new product in the fall and winter Stampin' Up! mini catalogue, when an idea hit. 

The texture and interest the Snowy White velvet paper lends to projects is amazing. I loved the red velvet in last year's, and I think I love the white even more. Granted, I was a little nervous, because velvet attracts every bit of fluff near it, and white... well, let's just say my accident-prone self doesn't own anything white. 

Enter the idea. I wanted to create a snowy background with dimension. I grabbed my Basic Boarders dies, cut out the clouds on a piece of scrap, and used that for the base. Then I grabbed my blending brushes, Balmy Blue and Grey Granite ink pads, and did the sky and snow. You can check out the video here. 

Once the sky and snow were inked, the snowflakes were stamped with Balmy Blue ink, and then the snowman was assembled and adhered to the velvet paper with dimensionals. 

Three pieces of mesh ribbon were added to the back of the velvet paper, and trimmed to the size of the card base (4 1/4 x 5 1/2"). The patterned paper was attached to the card base, and the sentiment will be stamped on the inside, once I know who it is intended for.

Supply list:

Snowman Season stamp set
Snowman Builder punch
Balmy Blue ink
Memento Black ink
Gray Granite ink
Metallic Mesh ribbon
white velvet paper (link will be added when catalogue goes live)
Peaceful Prints paper (link will be added when catalogue goes live)

12 Crafts of Christmas day 10- twist and close box

Image
 Today's project is a fun twist (ha!) on a gift box. While it looks challenging, it's really quite simple to put together, and all you need is cardstock, patterned paper, adhesive, a ruler and stylus or scoring tool. Trim 1/2 inch from your cardstock so you're left with an 8 1/2 x 10 1/2 piece. Score on the long edge at 2 1/2, 5, 7 1/2, and 10 inches. Score the short side at 2 1/2 inches, flip, and score the other side at 2 1/2 inches.  Mark one side as shown 1 1/4 inches from each score line, and score from the mark to the bottom corner. Fold and burnish to crease.  Cut the bottom of the box as shown to the bottom score line. Discard the small tab at the bottom.  Cut your patterned paper to 4 3/4 x 2 1/4. Run adhesive along the side and connect the two edges. Apply adhesive on the bottom edges and seal the box. Working from one side, pinch the top closed, and your box is done!  Check out the video here. Check out all of our projects as the 12 days continue here...
