CanYouCaseIt.com has a color challenge this week:

Here’s my project:

This would be perfect as a party favor, or for each place setting at a holiday gathering.

I used Soft Sky, Bermuda Bay, and Island Indigo as my three blues. I cut the Fry Box out of Whisper White Thick Card Stock. Then I sponged the whole thing, inside and out, with the three colors of blue for a marbled/mottled sort of look.

On the front of the box I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink, then heat embossed it with Clear Stampin’ Embossing Powder.

The All About Sugar stamp set is made to coordinate with the Fry Box Bigz L Die, and the two are available as a bundle to save 15%!

After heat embossing, I colored the entire exterior of the box with Island Indigo ink. This is called the Joseph’s Coat technique. There are a few ways to do this, but the two most efficient are 1) using a brayer, and 2) taking your ink pad directly to the paper. You could also use a Stamping Write Marker, but that will take longer. Be careful as you’re doing this, as the card stock can start to pill if it gets too wet. As it happened, I got it just wet enough to make the fibers stand up a tiny bt, so it looks like suede. I love happy accidents!

I assembled the box by adhering the sides with Tear & Tape. Now I had an Island Indigo Fry Box, with a mottled tri-color sentiment and interior.

The three snowflakes are from the new Snowflake Elements wooden embellishments. Holding each one with tweezers, I pressed it into the Versamark ink pad, then into White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, then heated it with my Heat Tool. I adhered them with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

For the filler, I cut a Glassine Sheet with Fringe Scissors, then crumpled it with my fingers.

I stamped the candy cane from the A Little Something stamp set three times in Island Indigo. I fussy cut them with my Paper Snips, leaving a long stem to stick down into the Glassine filler. (The Snow Place stamp set has a longer, thinner candy cane stamp, but I preferred the fatter one for this project.)

    Here’s what I used:
