Wisteria Meets Blue and Great News!

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to share a cute little box with you that I made last week. It’s all got to do with my Little Tutorial on how to make these GORGEOUS Flowers. Well I think so anyway…I hope you do too. Tutorial available on the Right Sidebar.

For those of you that know me, you know I’ve wanted to offer simple tutorials that everyone can use. They will be simple things that we all can make with little effort . We all know I like Simple Elegance and Hope to offer that to you by way of Project Sheet Tutorials. My little instruction sheets (yes there will be more) will cover a variety of projects. So keep watching for the next one. It’s great news for me….I hope it is for those of you that have been asking me to do this.

This Tutorial is for the Flower only and is the Flower I put on my Convention Hat (see right side bar). Here it is done in Bashful Blue and Wisteria Wonder and sitting atop a box.

The box bottom is done with Bashful Blue while the top is done is our new Beautiful Wisteria Wonder. I ran a few pieces of it through the Big Shot using the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder and then sponged on some Wisteria Wonder to age it a bit.

The box Dimensions are 8x8 for the bottom scored at 2” on all sides. The top is 6x6 and scored at just a smidgen less than 1” on each side.

I hope you like this little box as much as I do and I hope you will consider making one of your own and sharing it with me.

As always….thanks for stopping by!!!

Beatrix Potter Move Over ……..Picnic Parade Matchbox is Here !!

Good Morning Everyone,

Sorry I’ve been away for a few days….I’ve been a bit under the weather. Hopefully I’m on the mend.

Anyway I’m starting to prepare for my February Classes and Workshops. This cute little Matchbox is one I’ll be doing at Kelly’s Workshop as she wanted to do a cute little Easter Box with Chocolate Nuggets.

The box of course is made with Stampin’ Up!s  Matchbox Die Cut which I received from a very special friend as a gift.  How sweet is that?

I used Barely Banana Card Stock for the box itself and wanted to add a little texture so added a few polka dots using a new pencil’s eraser and used it as a stamp in our white Craft Ink and dabbed onto the card stock. It’s a soft subtle look but one I like and hope you do too.

The medallion is one that punches out on the Matchbox Die….I love that!!! So I needed a cute little stamp and that’s when I decided to use my new Picnic Parade Stamp set by Stampin’ Up! It’s a Level 2 Hostess set from our new Occasions Mini. It’s very sweet.

I think it looks like a Beatrix Potter Image don’t you? Soft and sweet. The Nuggets are wrapped with small strips of our Tea Party Designer Series Paper. Instant Designer Chocolates for that someone special!!!

If I can assist you with any of these products don’t hesitate to ask or just visit my online store.

Thanks so much for stopping by and as always….

Have a Stampinglee Good Day!
