Stampin Friends - Blog Hop - Thankful For You

Welcome to the Stampin Friends Blog Hop for September!

This month's theme is 'Thankful For You'.

If you are following along with the Hop, you may have arrived from Steph's Blog.

Be sure to read through my post, comment below and then continue on to Barb's Blog.

If you get lost along the way, you can find a full list of all the participants at the end of each of their Blog Posts.

Here are the projects I made for this month's Hop ...

I used the Gnomes dies (which coordinate with the Kindest Gnomes stamp set) to create a small Treat/Gift Box and a card.

And ...the Gnomes dance :o) ...

This little box measures 3¾"x3¾"x1⅛" and is perfectly sized to hold a box of Guylian chocolates - although you could put a small gift in there instead if you wished :o) But the chocolates are a perfect little 'Thank You' gift.

The paper used is in Tahitian Tide and comes from the 2022-2024 In Color Designer Series Paper pack.

The closure for the Box is on the back. I created the circles using one of the Stylish Shapes dies - the brads our some of our (retired) silver brads.

The Baker's Twine comes from our Essentials Pack.

The sentiment used for the card comes from the Precious Moments stamp set - it was cut out using another of the Stylish Shapes dies.

The Gnome is super easy to create and make 'dance'. The Video below shows you how to do this :o)

Here is the Video for the Box ...

Stampin Friends Blog Hop - Lots Of Layers

Welcome to the Stampin Friends Blog Hop for June!

This month's theme is 'Lots Of Layers'.

If you are following along with the Hop, you may have arrived from Tiziana's Blog.

Be sure to read through my post, comment below and then continue on to Barb's Blog.

If you get lost along the way, you can find a full list of all the participants at the end of each of their Blog Posts.

Here are the projects I made for this month's Hop ...

I created a Fancy Fold. Pop Out Gift Card Holder and a Box to present it in.

I used the Happiness Abounds stamp set together with the coordinating Blossoming Happiness dies. I also used papers from the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper pack.

The Boxes are my standard size to hold A2 or A6 cards. They are ¾" deep. You can find the instructions HERE.

I kept the front of the cards fairly simple, just displaying a cluster of Flowers in the centre.

The card standing and how it would probably be displayed.

There is a pocket for a Gift Card and one for a Tag. You would write your message on the Tag.

The inside of the card fully flattened out. The Baker's Twine used is some of the thick, solid twine now retired.

The pink used is Melon Mambo. This is the only colour I changed for the second card.

This is the card I created in the Video. I changed the Melon Mambo to Fresh Freesia to match the paper used.

The card is very easy to create, it just takes time to colour the images. Alternatively you could die cut images from the papers instead and use them.

The Ribbon used is our Open Weave in Fresh Freesia.

If you didn't want to use the card as a Gift Card Holder, you could create a second Tag for the space and either just decorate it or write an additional message.

Here is the Video for the Card ...
