Fall - Anything But a Card | Kraft Gift Box | Blog Hop

Thank you for dropping by my blog today!  It's the 15th of the month and time again for our team blog hop!  I love the theme - Fall - anything but a card, and am looking forward to all the beautiful design of the team!  Be sure to check out all the blogs...links further down in my post.


EPIC BOGO SALE!

I need your help to clear out my retired Stampin' Up! products.  No, you don't need to lift or organize boxes.  There isn't room in my new cabinets so I'm holding an EPIC BOGO SALE starting on September 16, 2022 at 7pm EST.  Once the LINK  goes live you can make your selections and receive them FREE with your equivalent-value order of current products from any catalogue! BOGO LINK--> https://forms.gle/BT8eB4Wf1N7Hto7t7



I assembled a Kraft Gift Box from Stampin' Up! - super quick and easy, then decorated it with an assortment of colours, textures, sprigs, and leaves.   My how-to YouTube video is just a little further down in this post.


KRAFT GIFT BOXES #156569


Yes!  You can stamp on the box - how awesome is that!!




I started by using my Blending Brushes and inks to make a colourful sheet to cut out the orangey pieces.  I used Poppy Parade, Mango Melody and Pumpkin Pie.  The cool thing about the Blending Brushes is that you can create light and dark areas, and even come up with creative new colours!

Paper colours I selected are Rich Razzleberry, Very Vanilla, Kraft, and the gold from Gold & Rose Gold Metallic paper.  You could customize your Kraft Gift Box with lots of fall colours! 

I chose the White Frayed Ribbon for the texture and rustic look, and Champagne Rhinestones make a fab finishing touch!

I would love to hear from you!  Please leave me a comment.

Simple Blending | Simple Heat Embossing | Hand-Penned Petals | Heartfelt Thank You Card

Happy Tuesday everyone!  I'm so happy to be sharing a project with you that's crisp & clean with a burst of colour!  Every once in a while I can't figure out what to make and I end up with lots of pieces and no plan.  Does that happen to you as well?  I walk away for a bit, and when I come back refreshed, the card comes together!


Here's my card.


I love how simple layers add texture and depth to cards!  For my card I chose the Timeworn Type folder from Stampin' Up! as my first layer - it's subtle - subtlety that is needed to avoid overtaking the focal point of the card.





Love these colours together?
Wait 'til you view my Video Tutorial further down in this post!
I changed up one of the colours!




Now for the burst of colour!  Do you use Blending Brushes?  I do - they help add colour quickly and they're sooooo easy to use!  Once the ink dried, I heat embossed the floral image in black, then cut it using a die from Penned Flowers. Super pretty!





Have you seen the beautiful images & lovely greetings in the Nature's Prints stamp set?  A must-have set for sure!  I heat embossed the greeting in black on our Kraft paper, then cut using Tailor Made Tags.

Easy Messy Blending | Nature's Prints | Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends and happy Tuesday!  Today I'm sharing a messy blending technique that is easy and effective as a background!




Why messy blending? Because it lets you be creative and being messy is fun! It also takes away some of the blending 'rules'. So come with me my rebel friends and let's get messy!

For this card I've used Starry Sky - a new In Colours from Stampin' Up! In my Video Tutorial further down in this post, I used 2 colours! All meaurements and card details are given during my video.



BLENDING BRUSHES #153611



Prior to Stampin' Up! offering Blending Brushes, I had purchased some brushes from Amazon, and truthfully, they were okay, but the Stampin' Up! brushes are far superior!  I wouldn't say that unless I stood behind the product 100%!


VIDEO TUTORIAL

Click on the image below to view my YouTube video!  I enjoyed making the video and telling you all about my mistakes I made on my first few attempts.  It's an easy technique, but I messed up....find out how....






The images from Nature's prints heat emboss so easily!  I used white embossing powder, which against the blue of the Starry Sky ink pops!

I never get tired of this blending technique!  You get an amazing background that's one of a kind and it is such a huge WOW factor!  I hope you'll give it a try!
