ESAD 2020 MINI CATALOGUE AND SALE-A-BRATION BLOG HOP!

January 5, 2020January 5, 2020 Jenny Hayward

Time for another ESAD Blog Hop. This time we are sharing projects from the new 2020 Mini Catalogue and Sale-A-Bration. I can’t wait to see what everyone has created. You might have come from Cathy’s Blog -> HERE or starting from this blog. The full list of participants will be below.

Firstly with the Blog Hop. What is ESAD anyway??

Now for my project. It’s a very hard decision to work out what you are going to use with these Blog Hops. There are so many new and exciting products. What’s a person to do?? 🙂 In the end I chose to use the new So Sentimental Bundle because I love the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I think many people will love them. I have made a few projects with them recently but today I have this one to share with you.

I created a card and a little treat holder with the Kraft Pillow boxes.

With the card you don’t need too much with the gorgeous Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper. Add a piece of this to a Granny Apple Green card mat and add this to the Poppy Parade card base. The Granny Apple Green is not a colour that is featured in the paper but I think it gives it a little POP against the Poppy Parade colour.

The sentiment from the So Sentimental stamp set was stamped on white and cut with one of the label shapes in the Stitched So Sweetly Dies set. This was layered on to a piece of Granny Apple Green cut with one of the other label die shapes. It’s hard to tell but I embossed the green card with the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder to give it some texture.

I tied around some Granny Apple Green Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon.

Wait, what?? Granny Apple Green Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon. Where is that in the catalogue??

It’s actually the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon on p 25 of the 2020 Mini Catalogue. You can create any colour ribbon you like with the Stampin’ Blends.

Check it out below. Just run along the ribbon with the Stampin’ Blends Marker. It dries quickly and ready to use on your projects.

Now for the Treat Holder.

Assemble the Kraft Pillow Box. Then wrap a strip of the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper around the Pillow Box. I wrapped around some more ribbon I had coloured around the box too.

The label for this box was using a different stamp in the So Sentimental stamp set and cut with different dies in the Stitched So Sweetly dies. The Granny Apple Green card was embossed with the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder as well.

If you haven’t noticed the So Sentimental Bundle you can find it on p 20 of the Mini Catalogue. It has the different label shapes and Stitched Scalloped Rectangle dies of varying sizes. Great for layering together. Available for $56 AUD.

12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS – WEEK 8 – PILLOW BOX CHRISTMAS!

November 23, 2018November 23, 2018 Jenny Hayward

Week 8 today for our 12 Weeks of Christmas series. Are you enjoying these? I would love to hear what you think. I hope they are inspiring you. 🙂

Today’s project is a gift box. The Kraft Pillow Boxes make really quick gift packaging. They are large enough to add a gift card and even throw in a few chocolates.

For this one I have use the Snow is Glistening Stamp set and the Snowfall Thinlits. Not much longer to get these products if you want them.

I made a wrap for the Pillow Box using the Under The Mistletoe Designer Series Paper. Then added a strip of Old Olive cardstock around it. TIP: Assemble the Pillow Box before you adhere the paper so you have the right dimensions with it being expanded. The larger snowflake is cut with the White Velvet Paper, then a snowflake is stamped in Real Red on to Red card and cut with one of the snowflake Thinlits. A tiny snowflake is cut from the Copper Foil. I added a small bow from the Linen Thread. I just realised I edited this photo upside down as the bow doesn’t sit the right way. Oops! Oh well! That’s OK right. 😉

Simple but very easy to do. You can dress up any treat with these.

You can grab these Kraft Pillow Boxes in my store now -> HERE. Unfortunately they are not one of the discounted items for the Extravaganza but they are still great value at $8.75 for 10 boxes.

The Under The Mistletoe DSP is one of the papers at 10% off today and tomorrow for Extravaganza. Grab your pack at $17.32 in my store -> HERE. I have used this paper a lot this Christmas. Make sure you grab some for your Christmas creating.

Thanks for stopping by today,

PILLOW BOX CARD HOLDER!

August 16, 2018August 16, 2018 Jenny Hayward

I just received the Kraft Pillow Boxes recently. These are lovely little boxes for little treats. I will do that with them soon but I had different ideas for this little project.

I made a little pocket with a matching note card and envelope using the Narrow Note Cards and Envelopes.

This is a great size to give a little note to someone as a pick-me-up or a Thanks. Add a chocolate treat or even a Gift Card.

To make these little pockets, simply cut the top off the Pillow Box just under the curved score line. Then assemble the Pillow Box. Decorate it as you like after it is assembled.

To decorate mine, I added a wide strip of the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper and then a narrower strip over the top. I wrapped around some Rich Razzleberry Velvet Ribbon and adhered a bow with a Glue Dot. The sentiment from the Love What You Do stamp set was stamped in Rich Razzleberry and then I cut around the ‘friend’ word with scissors. That was raised up with Dimensionals.

The Narrow Note Card was stamped with the flowers in Memento Black and then “filled” with one of the small “dot” type stamps in Rich Razzleberry. I added some Old Olive leaves. Of course, finished off with a Linen Thread bow and a Pearl from the Adhesive Artisan Pearls. The envelope was stamped with a matching flower.

These are so quick to make. I think I need to make some more so I can have some on hand to give out. How will you decorate yours?

Thanks for stopping by.

Catch you again soon,

Jenny
