Welcome to the One Stamp at a Time Blog Hop! I am so thrilled that you stopped by The Creativity Cave! Whether this is your first stop or you are joining in from Pam's awesome blog, I can't wait for you to see what I've been up to!! The theme is NO Rules (oh, please know how much I like this!!) I guess the only thing better would be some kind of rule-breaking theme! ;)
So I was working on some sketch challenges a few days ago, and one of the ones I LOVED was a challege that was already over, but I loved the sketch so much, it inspired my project for today. I was pretty giddy with the look of this card and so I knew it would be perfect for a special occasion, like a blog hop!
So this is the sketch card-the sketch was a basic card with pieces of cardstock going across near the top (the super awesome zebra-print ones on my fabulous card, here)! I had already made a card that was gray with a pop of pink, so I decided to continue that with this printed paper and keep that pink pop of color! I just LOVE the results!!
LOOK at how rich the colors are!! Gather your supplies:
- 1/2 sheet of Basic Gray
- 4 x 5 1/4" piece of Smoky Slate
- Scraps of Melon Mambo, Watermelon Wonder, Pear Pizzazz and Whisper White
- Botanicals for You, Hello and Botanical Blooms Stamp sets (and Botanical Blooms Framelits)
- 2" strip of Printed paper (Go Wild DSP stack)
- Wink of Stella (yay!)
- Basic Gray and Old Olive ink pads
- White perfect accents
- dimensionals/adhesive
I stamped the Hello at the bottom in Basic Gray, rounded the corners on the printed papers and adhered to the card. I made up the flower and attached that with dimensionals
Easy, peesy!!
Oh how in love am I? I just think these colors are so my new favorites!! Do you like them, too? And that Wink of Stella!! Sooo perfect!
Now, I couldn't stop there--I had to add the matching gift bag! So I pulled out my Gift Bag Punch Board--I really like how easy it is to make a gift bag! The cool part is you can make it any height you'd like so it is perfect for a variety of gifts!
I followed the directions for a Medium sized bag. I used a full sheet of 8 1/2 x 11.
Remember to score on all the lines before putting the box together and don't forget to use strong adhesive--I used Fast Fuse!
The tag is 2 x 3 1/4" punched with the scallop tag topper punch.
I hope you love these projects!! I am so thrilled to have shared them with you!!
