One Box, Sooooo Many Uses….

G’Day Stampers,

I’ve been off the air lately, but last night sat myself down & created a box.  I don’t know how or what possessed me, but I just knew that I had to come up with something which I could use for many things – jewellery box, pencil case, chocolates, office, etc.  The list is endless. 
This one is going into my own bag, as I can never find my pens and will include my office supplies which I carry around with me.  It is not very big, that it will take up a lot of room!  My ruler even fits into it!

Supplies –
Stamp Set – Great Friend
Card Stock – Chocolate Chip, Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango,
Ink – Chocolate Chip, Tangerine Tango, Bashful Blue
DSP – Chocolate Chip
Accessories – Pretties Kit, Snail Adhesive,

Tip – I’ve used the “Rock n Roll” Technique on the butterfly.  So easy, yet a different look
 

Can’t you just see a chain or pendant sitting in here?  
2 small bars of chocolate fit perfectly or 5 Ferro Rachero’s.
 The list is endless!
Enjoy

# 2…..

G’day Stampers,
 Well I have managed to return to post the card I finished to match the box posted earlier.

 This time I tempeted a “Hinged Card“.  I have never made one of these.  Seen heaps of them, so took it on board & did my version of it.  I do know there are instructions out there in Blog Land, but I wanted to show the edge around the top, so put my head down & went in blind.
Box & Card Set

I’ve just realised that the lid in the close up of the box is not sitting straight, so please excuse that!

I’m Back…

G’Day Stampers,
Well, I am back & hopefully to post more frequently than I have been.  Once out of the routine, it takes a bit to get back again.
I’ve used a set from the current SU mini-catalogue & believe me, this stamp set has heaps of potential.  Check the mini at the right hand side to place an order!  Since seeing this set, I have had an image in my mind of doing this project, just required the occasion!
I am in the middle of making a matching card but wanted to post the box first.  I have made this for a birthday and want to fill the box with lots of goodies, ie lollies.  What kid doesn’t like lollies?

Until then, have a great day!

Rain, Rain….

G’Day Fellow Stampers,
It is a while since posting, but have not been too well.  Never mind, I have a small project which I ended up obtaining a pattern off SU Demo Pattern Area – great thing about being a Demo, we have patterns at our finger tips!
I have altered it a little to suit what I wanted it for –
Close-Up –
Side View –
Supplies –
Cardstock – Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
DSPRetired
Ink – Rose Red, Pumpkin Pie
Stamp Set – Great Friends
Ribbons – Grosgrain Old Olive – 6mm & 1″
Accessories – Anywhere Glue Stick, 1/8″ Handheld Punch, SU Dimensionals,
SU Rhinestone Brads – Ice Green – Large & Small
I’ve used SU Felt Flowers – Flower Fusion.  These are great!  I didn’t like them at first, but now I just want to keep using them until such time as they are all gone – another order in site.
For a little something different I’ve used 2 pieces of SU Grosgrain Old Olive Ribbon for a handle.  Adds a little something extra – don’t you think?
Until tmw
Vicky
