This week at Stampin' Royalty we are challinging you to make Anything But a Card, and for me this one is a great because I love creating 3D projects. Truth be told, I actually find designing cards the most challenging! So be sure to check out all the design team's samples here. We would love to have you play along this week!
Thanksgiving in Canada is just a few short weeks away so I decided it would be a good idea to get started on some little thank you gifts for all the amazing people in my life that make me realize how truly blessed I am.
I created a little Gable Box, just the right size to hold a little treat or even 3x3 note cards. I am in love with the Autumn Spice Designer Series Specialty Paper! It is Textured Heavy-Weight Card stock, so just perfect for making boxes and 3D projects. I also used both Early Espresso and Cajun Craze Card stock and ran them through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. Of course the paper also has a beautiful matching stamp set; Day of Gratitude. I used my Stampin' Markers in Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, More Mustard and Old Olive to colour the images then stamped them on Very Vanilla and cut them out. I also just love the 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, but sometimes I find it just a little wide for a project so I just simply cut it in half!I also just had to make a cute little matching note card with Crumb Cake and Cajun Craze Card stock, DSP and an Old Olive leaf created with the Leaves #2 Sizzix Die.
The Day of Gratitude Stamp Set as well as the Autumn Spice Specialty DSP can be found in the current Holiday Mini Catalogue. This mini is filled with amazing products and I can not wait to start creating more with them. If you are also in love with this new mini (which I am sure you are) and are looking to find fun, creative and inspiring projects to get you ready for the upcoming holiday season then I encourage you to check out Create with Connie and Mary ! This is the last week of preview projects and also for the early bird pricing. I promise you will not be disappionted by any of the fabulous projects the design team has created for you. There will also be two more FREE Subscriptions to be given away before the week is done! So make sure you check out the site daily to find out what is new.
Have a great day,
Oh this set is so pretty. Fall is my favorite time of the year. I think I have to go making something for the fall now. :-)
