Best Dressed Gift Box – Stampin’ Up!

This is the last project I have to share with you from the 2019-2020 catalogues. They retire today!! My last make is this Best Dressed Gift Box which features the designer series paper of the same name.

The purple in this box is Highland Heather and isn’t lovely. It reminds me of the wisteria that is growing over the top of my front window. I am not a traditional girly girl and initially I thought I would hate this paper as it is full of lipsticks and handbags and such like. I then discovered the otherside are these lovely florals and I was hooked.

As I’ve been driving in my local area to the supermarket, chemist and grocery shop I’ve been struck by the beautiful wisteria, laburnum and of course the glorious lilacs. We have two purple lilacs in the back garden and they are such a pleasure to see. The leaves of the trees are all new, fresh and so green!!! This was my inspiration for this floral and spring feeling box.

The box itself holds four tealights so is perfect for a little extra birthday gift or even as a table favour for a special at home date night.

Measurements

  • Highland Heather 8 3/4″ x 4 3/4″ scored:
    • On the long side at 3/4″, 4″, 4 3/4″, 8″
    • On the short side at 3/4″ on each side
  • Best Dressed DSP 3″ X 3″ & 1/2″ X 3″ X 4

Do you enjoy making little gift boxes and gift bags? I love them. They are so cute and dinky. Of course I struggle to give them away as I want to keep them all!!

Soft Suede Handbag – All Dressed Up – Stampin’ Up!

I have his mock soft suede handbag using the All Dressed Up dies from Stampin’ Up! I love the soft suede and the gold details together. It just looks so elegant.

Soft Suede Handbag – All Dressed Up – Stampin’ Up!

This die set is part of a bundle with the matching dress to impress stamp set that I have used here. The diet is very versatile as not only does it cut out this bag and all the embellishments but also the images from the stamp set such as a shoe and perfume bottle.

Are you a fashionista? I have to confess I’m not. I tend to go around in the same few sets of clothes each week. Leggings and jumpers are my favourite friends. Since I work from home I don’t have to dress up smartly for work either.

This project was meant to be part of YouTube hop but unfortunately due to the current pandemic many people have’t been able to participate as hoped. I will link below my fellow designers who have participated though.

Best Dressed Floral Bag – Stampin’ Up!

I have another cute bag for you using the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper (DSP), hence the name best dressed floral bag.

The Best Dressed DSP has makeup and fashion themed patterns on one side and on other are these amazing floral designs. I am quite a tomboy and makeup and fashion have never held much attraction to me. I love the florals though.

This box is what I call pencil case style. It has a magnetic closure but it is the DSP that makes it sing to me. I love this pattern, it is so happy. What are your favourite styles of patterned paper?

I know some people find box making quite difficult to do so I made a template but I will also give you the measurements here.

Best Dressed Mini Handbag – Stampin’ Up!

Today I have this darling little mini handbag to share with you. It features the Best Dressed suite of products and it is perfect for that girl about town.

I decided to use Purple Posy as my main colour. This is a colour I haven’t used yet and decided that had to change. Unfortunately we no longer the Purple Posy ink pad but I used Blackberry Bliss and I think it works well together.

The Best Dressed suite is a great collection of the products. The highlight of which is the All Dressed Up dies. They include the die to make this beautiful handbag as well as a ton of accent pieces such as buckles and buttons. There are also dies to cut out the matching stamp set of lipstick, perfume bottles and shoes. The designer series paper (DSP) matches these images with the reverse side being lovely floral images.
