It’s time for the One Stamp at a Time Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Happily Ever After. I used the Better Together stamp set, some doilies, and a few other goodies to create a wedding card and gift box. I can’t wait to see all the projects the other hoppers have created! Be sure to hop around to see them.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Elegant Eggplant card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, scored in half at 4-1/4″, then 1″ strip cut off the bottom of the front, then another 2-1/4″ strip cut from the front – there should be a 1″ strip still attached across the top of the front
- Silver Foil Sheet cut to 2″ x 4-1/4″
- Whisper White CS cut to 5″ x 3-3/4″ for the inside of the card
Stamped with the Better Together stamp set:
- sentiment in Elegant Eggplant ink onto the Whisper White CS
- NOTE: I used an Elegant Eggplant Stampin’ Write Marker to ink up each part of the stamp, and used a Stampamajig to line up the words
Die cut using the Layering Circles Framelits:
- scrap of Elegant Eggplant CS with a scalloped circle die
Colored using Stampin’ Write Markers:
- vellum embellishment from the Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit in Elegant Eggplant, Emerald Envy, and Daffodil Delight
- NOTE: I colored the vellum on the back, not on the side with the silver
Assembled the card:
- folded the card base along the score line, and burnished it with a Bone Folder
- Silver Foil strip adhered to the front of the card base at the top, and to the 5-1/2″ x 1″ Elegant Eggplant CS strip at the bottom
- Delicate White Doily adhered to the Silver Foil strip using Tear & Tape
- Silver Metallic Foil Doily adhered to the white doily using Tear & Tape
- colored vellum embellishment adhered to the silver doily using Tear & tape
- stamped Whisper White CS glued to the inside of the card base
Assembled the box:
- burnished the fold lines in the Mini Silver Gable Box, and assembled it – On the bottom, fold in the long flap with two tabs, then the two short side flaps, then the long flap with one tab.
- two top end flaps tucked inside the box, instead of inserting the top tabs into them
- silver Sweet Soiree Ready Shreddie tucked inside the box with some hanging out the sides
- Delicate White Doily adhered to the side of the box using Tear & Tape
- silver Metallic Foil Doily adhered to the white doily using Tear & Tape
- Whisper White 1/4″ Organza Ribbon wrapped around box and tied in a bow, tying the box closed at the top
- die cut Elegant Eggplant CS scalloped circle adhered to the silver doily using Stampin’ Dimensionals, careful to leave a “tunnel” for the ribbon to slide through freely
- smaller silver Metallic Foil Doily adhered to the die cut circle using Tear & Tape
