Blends Gift Box

FloralPenBox_Pic

I am absolutely loving my TFI Crafty Friday Lives – it’s nice to be online, crafting with like minded friends sharing ideas and inspiration. Hosted on Facebook at 7:30 every Friday, I bring a new project and showcase the items used to make it. Yesterday, I made this gorgeous gift box which holds 10 Stampin’ Blends pens.

I was inspired by the amazing Helzie over @ SlimmandStylish.com who used the ‘All Things Fabulous’ stamp set during a Youtube Live. It was a set that I had skipped past when I looked through the catalogue and hadn’t really paid much attention to it. Then I saw Helzie use it and immediately loved the dimension you get from the triple stamping.

It’s an amazing set to use to make your own version of Designer Series Paper (DSP) and you get a different result every time and because they’re stamps, you can change up the colours as you wish. As you’ll see on my video below – I switched the colours round to suit the feature colour of the box.

I love it – and the box is a great way to gift a set of blends (or other stationery) to a friend or family member.

Best Wishes,
Suzanne

Happy Monday! As a lot of us are back in front of our computers for our day jobs, potentially working from home given the current circumstances, I wanted to show you this project which was gifted to my work team as a thank you for their support during lockdown so far. Each and everyone one of my colleagues have had to drastically change their working patterns, practises and even working spaces to adopt and adapt to the working from home lifestyle that Covid-19 has introduced.

I wanted these boxes to be a surprise treat in the post to say thank you but with a personal touch.

Good Morning – how are you all? Can you believe that it is already the end of June? Me neither! It’s incredible just how quickly 2020 is disappearing! During lockdown, I found myself at a loose end and turned to crafting more to pass the time – I found colouring in therapeutic, so made a lot of cards with line images that I could colour in to pass the time.

This example takes the Butterfly Gala stamp set, my favourite colour Blackberry Bliss & a couple of blends. Randomly stamped butterflies on the Whisper White background create a beautiful backdrop for the card, finished with a simple sentiment ready to gift to someone.

I absolutely love it – how have you passed the time during lockdown?

Best Wishes,
Suzanne

Showcasing Green!

Do you ever find you get stuck in a cycle using the same colours over and over again. The purples, blues and reds get used a lot in my craft room. But the greens and pinks are always left on the shelf – especially green.

My upline (the fabulous Pootles) once set the team a challenge to use a colour or set of colours that we didn’t use often, so I decided that today was going to be a day where I did that but from this years incolors.

Now I LOVE this year’s incolors, but if there’s one of them that is going to be used less than the others, its definitely the green. So that’s the basis of today’s make!

Call Me Clover is not only the card base, it’s the ink and the ribbon on today’s card and I think it works rather well (even if I do say so myself). Coupled with some Whisper White cardstock and a piece of Twinkle Twinkle DSP.

Whilst it’s a colour I’m not really fond of, I love this card and its simplicity. You too can create one just as easily!

Best Wishes,
Suzanne
