Christmas cake box

With the various Christmas in July events happening this month, who would like a piece of Christmas cake?

 

 

I used the Stampin' Up! Cutie Pie thinlets die set to create the cake box.  Before adhering the two pieces of the box together I embossed the top using the Holly Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I then stamped both sides of the box with the holly stamp from the Embellished Ornaments stamp set in Garden Green ink and used my Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write marker to colour the berries.  The scallop trim and bow were die cut from the Cutie Pie thinlits set in Cherry Cobbler card stock. 

 

To create the top floral embellishment, I used Garden Green, Cherry Cobbler and Crushed Curry card stock along with dies from the Flourish Thinlits and Botanical Builders framelit sets.  I added a Pearl Basic Jewel which I had coloured with an alcohol marker to both the centre of the floral embellishment and the centre of the bow to complete the cake box.  Once completed, the box can be filled with chocolates or other small treats of your choice.

Swirly #2 - Christmas in July

The Stampin' Up! Swirly Bird stamp set and co-ordinating Swirly Scribbles thinlits whilst an everyday type of stamp set, is so versatile it can be used to create Christmas cards too.  Here's one example.

I started with a Real Red card base and added a layer of Real Red Designer Series Paper Stack striped paper.  I then cut a rectangle of Silver Foil and die cut the Swirly Scribbles Christmas 'ornament' out of the middle of the rectangle.  I stamped in Real Red the Swirly Bird ornament onto Whisper White card stock, layered the Silver Foil ornament over the top for extra dimension and added some Silver 1/8" ribbon to finish the ornament. It was then layered onto a very thin mat of Real Red card stock. The sentiment is from the Peaceful Pines stamp set and was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  A few Rhinestones were added to the card for some extra sparkle.

Swirly #1 - Birthday greetings

One of the first things I look at when purchasing papercrafting products is their versatility. Over the next few weeks I'm going to be featuring projects using Stampin' Up!'s Swirly Bird stamp set and co-ordinating Swirly Scribbles thinlits bundle and will show you how very versatile this bundle is. 

 

The first cards I'm sharing with you are birthday cards (or you can use them for other occasions too).  They feature the same basic design, but I've kept the smaller note card sized one as a single layer card but layered and embellished the standard sized card.

For the smaller, single layer birthday card, I started with a Stampin' Up! note card which comes with a co-ordinating envelope.  I stamped the large circle from the Stampin' Up! Swirly Bird set in Pink Pirourette ink and stamped the swirls over the top in Sweet Sugarplum ink.  The smaller circular swirls were stamped in Sweet Sugarplum and Pink Pirouette too.  I then stamped the two sizes of leaves also from the Swirly Bird stamp set in Pear Pizzazz ink.  The stems of the leaves were then stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink too which results in a slightly darker shade than the leaves.  The 'Happy Birthday' sentiment is from the Rose Wonder stamp set and was stamped in Sweet Sugarplum ink.  

The larger, standard sized card follows the same design as the smaller note card with the swirly flowers in the top left corner of the card.  This time I used a colour combination of Daffodil Delight, Peekaboo Peach and Emerald Envy.  The swirly border at the bottom of the card was die-cut from the Swirly Scribbles thinlits.  The Happy Birthday sentiment and label are both from the Rose Wonder stamp set and co-ordinating Rose Garden thinlits bundle.  I then layered the stamped card onto Peekaboo Peach card stock, Peekaboo Peach striped Designer Series Paper and a Whisper White card base.  A little Emerald Envy Ruched Ribbon bow completes the card. 

The products used on these cards have been listed below - just click on the picture and it will take you to my online store where the product can be purchased.  Workshops and papercrafting classes are also available - please contact me for details.
