Another thankful box

A quick post to share another pizza box that I created with the gather together stamp set and designer series paper.

Thankful box

Hi and welcome to my blog today!  I hope you are having a great week! I wanted to share a quick little gift that I made with the pizza box and the gather together stamp set.  This time of year I like to have gifts made so that when I need a quick gift I have them all ready to go.  These little pizza boxes are great for small candles, candy and individual packets of flavored tea.  (and who wouldn't want to get any of those)  

The entire gather together suite is so easy to use. I love the colors that the designer series paper is created with and the patterns are all so fun! I used the stitched label die for the base of the pumpkins, this die really makes a great base for any image. It is a go to for me when I want to add a little bit of stitching and interest to the background. I also like the way that it cuts out parts as well as adds stitching to the design. What is your go to for quick easy interest to a card? I hope this box gives you some inspiration to create a few gifts to have on hand for giving this Thanksgiving season! Thank you for visiting me and have a thankful day!

Light and fluffy clouds

I needed a box for a small gift and so I turned to the cute little pizza boxes from Stampin' Up! I love the cute shape and the convenience of them already to use, just a few simple folds and you have the box assembled. I had colored, with my stampin blends, this bird a few days ago and thoughts it was the perfect size to go on my box. 

After I had put the box together I realized that the upper left corner needed something. I tried a sentiment and many other things but it all was just too much. I had the idea to add a few clouds but wasn't sure how. I did not want to add embossing paste because I thought that would also be to heavy for that corner. Then I had the idea to use my cloud stencil with my colorless blender. I loved it!

Because the colorless blender pushes the color over and makes it lighter the cloud effect was beautiful and just what I wanted, light and fluffy clouds. I am sure that I am not the first person to think of this idea but, I was really excited when I did. I know that the photos are not the best, I tried to get the best shot that I could. I finished the box with using dimensionals on the flowers and the enjoy banner from the country home stamp set.

I kept the box pretty simple other than the main panel. Sometimes you have to look through your supplies and see what might work. Remembering that it is only paper and you can try over if you don't like the results.  You might come up with a result that you are really happy with, like I did today. I would love to hear what things you have discovered while creating. I hope you give my clouds a try. I think that you will really like them. I know that I will try this again with other images and see what other  results I can come up with. Let me know what you think of my pizza box?  Enjoy!

Only a few days left to both of these deals.  Let me know if you need any help or have any questions!

You are so fabulous

Don't you just love the new stitched all around bundle! I had so much fun playing with this set and this is just the beginning. I created a gift for my stamp club hostess using this set. It was the first time that I had inked the set up and used the dies.  And now I can't wait to use it again! The greetings in the set are so beautiful. I love the fonts and they go so well with the framelits. I used one of our pizza boxes for the small 3 x 3 cards that I placed inside. I used Mossy meadow cardstock as well as the designer series paper for the outside of the box, heat embossed the sentiment and sponged a piece of the white polka dot ribbon with mossy meadow ink.

 I kept the cards very simple. After stamping I used the framelit to cut out and then punched a small coordinating color of cardstock to mat behind. I decorated the envelopes with another stamp from the set.

This really is a quick and easy project to put together. Hopefully my hostess liked the gift! I always like to spoil my hostesses because I really do appreciate them opening their homes up to have our stamp club. I also do appreciate all of my club members! I hope that they know that it is because of them that they make my job as a demonstrator so fun!
