white Stazon

I Hope You Feel Appreciated

I don’t think I will ever find too many places to stamp this awesome chicken, ever.  There are two other adorable chickens and a little egg too, but this guy rocks!  So here he is peepin’ in a little window to say hello.  Too adorable.

For a very simple card, I sure did use a lot of different products.  Really though, it went together quite fast.  The card base became a one layer card.  I stamped with white stazon onto the card base using the hardwood stamp.  So cool.  It gave me a subtle woodgrain look that was just right.  I die cut the window out of the card base and again out of whisper white. I glued those two windows together so when I nested them back into the opening, the white one would layer up just ever so slightly.

I backed the window with velum to create the ‘glass’.  I traced the window pane openings on my inside piece of cardstock so I knew where to stamp the trees and chicken.  They got a little ink and a little water color pencil activity and then I glued them in place.  I could have left them on the inside back of the card, but I knew I wanted to cover up the back of the window and have plenty of space to write to my friend.  So I adhered it to the inside top flap of the card and put another blank piece down on the inside back.  Then I had double the space to write and my window stuff all covered up.  Total win!

Wonderland Snowflake Treat Favor

I guess I am on a gift bag kick again.  This one is all ready to go though, candy inside and everything!  But, is it okay to just give it back to me?  I love it, and the yummy candy inside.

Stamping with stazon  is the only way to go with window sheets.  Easy and crisp images, and doesn’t slide everywhere.  My stamp was from the Wonderland set, just the snowflake one, and isn’t very big.  Believe me, it was so easy to stamp, I don’t think I saw one little goof.  Came together great.

My piece measured 8 x 8.5″ and was scored at 2″, leaving 1/2″ for adhering the box together.  Then turned a quarter to score along the bottom to create the bottom flaps, or the bottom of the gift bag.  Pretty direct work here.  I burnished the score lines really well and used tear n’ tape to seal it up.  You can see my seam, but it doesn’t look bad.  I think it is adorable, and easy enough to make a bunch for party favors.  And how about that tiny little snowflake embellishemnt!  So adorable!

For the New Two

I love an opportunity to use something beautiful.  I loved nearly everything in this particular suite.  The background stamp, Something Lacy, has quickly found its place in my heart.  I have used it so many times.   This could be project three for workshop, you think?

A good friend recently got married and I needed a card of course.  I used the inspiration from the Stampin’Up! Spring Catalog.  Denali wanted the flowers to be blue though.  She thought it appropriate with the idea of ‘something borrowed, something blue’.

Of course the designer series paper we are using for the thank you cards is actually called Something Borrowed.  She didn’t even know it.  Guess that means blue is perfect.

For the New Two

I stamped with white Stazon on vellum cardstock then colored select items from the back side with blendabilities.  I could have done quite a bit more, but wanted the focus to be on the sentiment.

It is all about the bride and the groom after all.  And this couple sure is wonderful!

Have a creative day!
