Gable Thanks

I made this little box using the tutorial from SCS this week in Weekly Inkling. It is a perfect size for a little thank you gift I had to give.

The base cardstock is Pink Passion. I wheeled it in Whisper White with the Bodacious wheel.

The image on the front is the larger flower image from Bodacious Bouquet inked in Pixie Pink and then rolled in Pink Passion. It was stamped on Whisper White, cut our and Dazzlin Diamonds applied in the centre using the Tombow Multi-purpose adhesive.

I then stamped the flower a second time on another piece of Whisper White. This time I added the 3 leaves which were stamped in Green Galore. I adhered the cut out image over this, but offset the petals it make a "fuller" flower. I mounted this on Green Galore for a final, bright touch.

The sentiment is from Short and Sweet and is attached with Silver Cord (retired, sorry). I finished it up with Taffeta ribbon in Whisper White. I love this bright little box.

I hope this little gift is well received.

Something New

This week's challenge over at Stamp Something is to stamp something new - use a new product, a new technique, something for a new occasion etc. I decided to make a new 3D something - a mini pizza box. The template I used for this came from Jen Del Muro and was designed for Scor-Pal. It is a perfect size for a few chocolates or some gift cards.

I used Ballet Blue for the box and then decorated it with Sage Shadow (cardstock and DSP), Perfect Plum and Lovely Lilac. I love this colour combination (but then it came straight off the Colour Coach so why wouldn't I?).

I don't make many 3D items because I don't seem to use them very often - I think I'll have to change that.
