Just Breathe through the Traffic in the City

Don’t you just hate traffic? Well, I doubt anyone really likes traffic. It’s easy to get frustrated, or even angry, while sitting with thousands of fellow travelers in stand-still, or worse inching along, traffic. If you live somewhere like Atlanta, traffic is a part of life. You have to find a way to cope. The best thing to do is realize the traffic is out of your control, so let it go and Just Breathe. I used the In the City and the Colorful Seasons stamp sets on today’s card to convey just that sentiment.

 

Here’s what I made:

Just Breathe with Colorful Seasonal Wood Textures

There’s a lot going on in the world to make us feel anxious, on top of the worries of everyday life. My advice: just breathe. Imagine yourself lounging on a porch or a beach, pool side, in the woods, or anywhere else you find relaxing, enjoying a yummy beverage and a good book, or even a long nap. No worries. Today’s card is meant make you feel like that. The calming scene is created with the Colorful Seasons Bundle (Colorful Seasons stamp set and Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies.)

Just Breathe with Colorful Seasons Tissue Boxes

It’s that time of year. Yes, Christmas and Hannukah and gifts and snow…and the sniffles. You can get those little pocket/purse sized packs of tissues but they always end up getting all messed up. These little boxes help keep the tissues clean and prevent them from tearing while fighting for space in your overpacked bag. The sentiment is from the Colorful Seasons stamp set – it seemed perfect, since probably all you want to do is Just Breathe already! The heavy Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Series Paper is perfect for these little boxes – not too soft and not too stiff.

 

Here’s what I made:

  • Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 7″ x 9-3/4″
  • scored along the short side at 1″, 5-1/2″, and 6-1/2″
  • rotated clockwise, then scored along the long side at 2-1/4″, 3-1/4″, 5-1/2″, 6-1/2″, and 8-3/4″
  • cut away the green areas in the diagram
  • Foil Frenzy tissue box for your purse, Colorful Seasons stamp set, Stampin' Up! #stampcandy
  • Crumb Cake card stock (CS) cut to 4″ x 1-1/4″
  • Lemon Lime Twist CS cut to 4-1/4″ x 1-1/2″ (I used the color of CS that coordinated with the particular piece of DSP I was using at the time.)

Cut using the Envelope Punch Board:

  • all four corners of the Crumb Cake and Lemon Lime Twist CS pieces rounded with the punch on the back of the punch board

Stamped with the Colorful Seasons stamp set:

  • sentiment in Crumb Cake ink onto the Crumb Cake CS piece

Die cut using the Layering Ovals Framelits:

  • small oval from the inside top of the box
  • NOTE: fold under the long 1″ side so it will fit through the Big Shot

Assembled the box:

  • burnished all the score lines with a Bone Folder
  • glued the outside of area A (in diagram above) to the inside of area B
  • Crumb Cake CS glued onto the Lemon Lime Twist CS
  • Lemon Lime Twist CS glued onto the inside of the lid
  • on the end with four flaps, folded in the bottom flap, then glued the two small flaps to it, then glued the top flap to them
  • inserted tissues into the other end of the box and closed it up
  • pull tissues through the oval opening
  • the lid folds over to protect the tissues
  • wrapped a piece of 1/8″ Silver Ribbon around the box to present as a gift
