Perfect Parcel Die Gift Box – Stampin’ Up!

I have this little box to share with you today using the Perfect Parcel dies from Stampin’ Up! This die comes as a bundle with the Parcels and Petals stamp set which I have used here too.

This box is made from two of my favourite colours, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay. I have used my scraps of Bermuda Bay to make the sleeve for the box.

I won’t deny that this box can be a little fiddly to put together but once you get the hang of it, it’s dead easy. The stamping is done before the box is put together. This gives some added interest where there are no other elements.

I enjoy making gift packaging for little gifts. They are a great way to make a simple gift look a million dollars.

Christmas Crowd Christmas Card

I have a Christmas card to share with you today. Yes I know it’s early but as crafters, we need to get started early to have everything ready by December. This card uses the Christmas Crowd stamp set from the Autumn / Winter catalogue that launches today.

This image is all one stamp which makes this super quick to make. I have stamped this is in Memento Ink and then coloured everyone in with the Stampin’ Blends.

Stamps like Christmas Crowd are great for kids as you can stamp quickly a load of these and then set them to colour them in to make their own cards. A great way to keep them occupied and they are productive too!!

Elephants – Baby Card – Wildly Happy Stamp Set

I have a baby elephants card to share with you today. This card uses the Wildly Happy stamp set I won in Prize Patrol back in April at Onstage Local in Telford. I am happy as this is a cute set featuring parents and babies.

Smokey Slate Light and Dark Stampin’ Blends are being used to colour in these elephants. They are alcohol markers and they blend beautifully. It is so easy to achieve shading and depth of interest with these markers.

These elephants speak to me as they remind me of home. I am born in the UK but my mother was born in South Africa and all my maternal family are still there. When I was younger we went to the Kruger National Park. I remember seeing the elephants crossing the road in front of our car.

measurements

  • Granny Apple Cardbase – A6 – (A6 is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half)
  • Whisper White – 3 1/4″ X 51/4″
  • Granny Apple Green Designer Series Paper (DSP) 3″ x 5″

The other images in this set are a fox, rabbits and a cute panda. They are great for many styles of cards but in particular babies.

I do enjoy colouring in whether it be with Stampin’ Blends, watercolours or even acrylic paints. It is so soothing and therapeutic.

There is a video tutorial and supply list below.
