Hello and welcome to my blog.
I hope you are all well and staying safe. Australia hasn't been hit as
hard as other countries with COVID-19 but I am sending out my love to all
those in Victoria who are currently in stage 4 lock down. Stay safe my
friends.
So, today is blog hop day with fellow demonstrators around the
world. You may be starting here or have come from another blog - either
way you can find the link list at the bottom of this post so that you can
see every blog post and idea today.
I am excited about today's project as I designed the box. I have been
busy behind the scenes designing different boxes and have more ideas
to follow up on. I am just putting the finishing touches to the PDF for each box.
My projects today are using the
Peony Gardens DSP along with
the small flower from the
Prized Peony Bundle. I am a little partial to the colour grey but I am pretty sure that the box and the
card are two different greys!! LOL...I started with the box first and
that is Granite Gray and it wasn't until I was photographing these two
that I realised my mistake - I must have grabbed Smoky Slate cardstock
for the card - oops! That's okay. You can see that the pattern paper goes with either grey!
I kept the card in the same style as the box incorporating the same
dies, ribbon, flower and pattern paper. Everything matches and I
like to have things matchy, matchy! LOL. Looking at the picture, I
now think that the flower is a bit too high - I may have to move it
down.
I almost forgot to show you - it is a little hard to see here but
I have coloured the flower with my
wink of stella so it is
all sparkly. The only thing that is coloured are the leaves. As
with the box, I used the
Sublte embossing folder
on the grey die cut layer and sponged around the edge with basic grey
ink and a dauber.
You can see the dimension here. I used wide strips of foam
adhesive sheets under the whisper white layer and used regular
dimensionals under the grey layer with the sentiment.
Now for my box! I designed it to fit
Clear Block H
but have discovered it also will fit the
Small Bloom Punch
size of punch (it is a snug fit though) but you can put anything
inside the box - chocolates, lollies (candy) etc. One end of the box
is glued shut while the other is held closed by the
ribbon.
I used the smallest
Hippo & Friends
dies to cut out this tag (the card has the larger one), although it is not really a tag (just looks
like it on this project), then I placed it in the
Subtle embossing folder
and ran it through my die cutting machine. Sadly, I don't have the new
Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine - yet! LOL
