Good evening friends!
I hope you are all having a lovely day! I have been in my creative space today while waiting to pick up MrStampz (LOL) from the airport. He was supposed to return late last night, but with the joys of travelling his flight was canceled and rebooked for early this morning. Didn't get into Nashville, TN until just after 11am. Since doggo woke me up at 4:30am I had pleanty of time to play!
So, what are we working on? Little, cute Easter gift boxes for all your family, friends, kids, adults, co-workers, Church friends and anyone you want to send a happy to.
I LOVE doing 3D dimensional artwork and love that it is functional as well.
Are you ready to see!
Isn't this too adorable!! I cannot get enough of this 12x12 Designer series paper pack. I love the watercolor birds and flowers and muted colors. The technique we will be working with today is bending/curving our straight sentiments into another shape for a different look! That's right, you can take the photopolymer straight line sentiment and gently curve them on your acrylic block before stamping (works best with 2 or more word sentiments).
Isn't that so cool! That turns many stamps into multiple uses. Can't get your straight sentiment on that tag you're designing, curve it!
Let's get making shall we!!
Step 1: Gather your supplies!
You will need the Stampin' Up! Square pillow boxes, spring/Easter sentiment of your choice. I used the February 2024 Paper Pumpkin kit! (ask me how you can join this monthly club) Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration Flight & Airy 12x12 Designer Series Paper (ask me how you can get this paper for free, before it's gone!), Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagon punch, Boho blue ink pad, Center stripe ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals (dimensional adhesive), Tear and tape, multipurpose liquid glue, paper trimmer and an acrylic block appropriately sized for your stamp.
Step 4: Securely adhere your Boho Blue pattern paper to the top facing half of your pillow box. (you will line up the corners of the pattern paper to each of the 4 intersecting score lines of the box) This will be the half without the adhesive strips on the 2 flaps. You can either use your multipurpose liquid glue liberally for this step or the tear and tape, just be sure to get all the edges down securely since you will be folding the 4 sides down.
Step 6: Add your Pecan Pie band around the middle of the box with tear and tape, overlapping in the back. Then adhere your bow with tear and tape in the upper half of the middle of your band, wrapping the right tail all the way around back to the front and securing with more tear and tape.
Step 7: Add sentiment!
Adhere Stampin' dimensionals on the back of your sentiment on the right, left and bottom. Do not put dimension on the top half as this will be propped up by the bow. Adhere to your box, covering your bow so that only the two loops show at the top and the tail on the bottom left.
Keep going, you are almost done!
Step 8: Add 3 embelishments to your sentiment in random places. And you are done!
Now you can fill your box with treats or goodies and it is ready to gift!
