This project is inspired by Caroline Helwigh Wright – I’m so inspired by her! I just changed the dimensions to fit tags created with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.

This would be a wonderful gift for the holidays! And I love the color combination of Fresh Fig with Silver.

Thankful Thoughts – InKing Royalty Blog Hop

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s October Blog Hop!  There are so many ways to say, “Thank you!” – today’s blog hop is filled with projects that share our gratitude.  Stampin’ Up!’s catalogs (both the Annual Catalog and the Holiday Catalog) are filled with so many fun products that help us show our gratitude – and we are excited to share our creations with you today.  After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

My project for today is an Origami sour cream container! I thought this would be the perfect table favor for your Thanksgiving guests!

Here’s a different angle:

I love how this treat holder showcases 2 different patterns of Designer Series Paper! I’ve seen several German demonstrators share this treat holder (Elvira Hörtner, Brigitte Keiling, Anke Rademacher, and Jana Trautmann), so I thought I’d create my own video tutorial in English to show you how easy these are to make!

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you’ll give this Origami treat holder a try and showcase our beautiful Designer Series Papers! Be sure to hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Rachael Shedeed at Bluebonnet Stampin’. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!

Pinewood Planks Merry Christmas

Today’s project is a CASE (copy and share everything) of a card I received from Angie Lisk at our World Card Making Day event in Atlanta! This card features the Snowflake Sentiments and Wood Words stamp sets with the Pinewood Planks Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

I just fell in love with Angie’s card and decided to CASE it for my recent class. The ladies loved this card! A great big thanks to Angie for her inspiration!

Angie’s version used Cherry Cobbler card stock instead of Night of Navy and the Smoky Slate Gingham Ribbon, but I had to improvise as I was out of Cherry Cobbler cardstock and didn’t have the Smoky Slate ribbon!

First, stamp the floral pattern from Wood Words onto your Whisper White Layer. Then, to create the Pinewood Plank embossing effect, you just gently apply ink directly to the embossing folder before running it through the Big Shot (don’t worry – it rinses off easily with water!). You can experiment with which side of the embossing folder you apply the ink to for different effects. For this card, I applied it to the more detailed/intricate side, which debossed the cardstock and placed the ink in the debossed grooves – I hope that makes sense!

The bow is a little bit of a cheat! I cut a piece of ribbon about 1/2″ longer on each side than the width of the card and wrapped the overhanging ends to the back – adhering using some Fast Fuse. Then, I tied a bow around that piece – which allowed me to get the bow to face the direction I wanted it to, without having to fuss with it!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Be sure to stop back tomorrow for this month’s InKing Royalty Blog Hop! You don’t want to miss it! I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day!

Measurements:
  • Thick Whisper White card base – 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored and folded at 5-1/2″ (or folded in half)
  • Night of Navy layer – 4″ x 5-1/4″
  • Whisper White layer – 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″

Shadow Box Gift Box with Video Tutorial

I’m really excited about today’s project! It’s a shadow box gift box perfectly sized to fit a Bath & Body Works travel size lotion or shower gel!

Here’s another view:

Wouldn’t this be a great stocking-stuffer or gift idea for the holidays? I just love shadow boxes in the papercrafting world! One of these travel size bottles measures 4-1/2″H x 2″W x 1-1/8″D, so I got to work figuring out the measurements to create a shadow box to fit!

You can create one of these (including the belly band) from one sheet of 12″x12″ piece of Designer Series Paper or cardstock – I just recommend that it’s a heavier weight Designer Series Paper, because you really want the shadow box to be sturdy.

Here’s a video tutorial for you:

And here is the template I shared during the video:

Don’t let all the x’s intimidate you – you can cut away those parts in large sections. While it’s a lot of scoring, it really is easy to create! I hope you’ll give this project a try!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day!

MEASUREMENTS:

  • Shadow Box – 9-1/2″ x 12″
    • Score on all 4 sides at 1/2″, 1-5/8″, 2-1/8″, and 3-1/4″
    • Score on both 9-1/2″ sides at 3-3/4″ & 5-3/4″ ONLY down to the 2nd horizontal score line
    • Score on both 12″ sides at 2-3/4″ & 9-1/4″ ONLY down to the 4th horizontal score line
  • Belly Band – 2-1/2″ x 9″
