Gift Boxes with Stampin' Up! Soho Subway

Gift Boxes with Stampin' Up! Soho Subway

I made these gift boxes ages ago but never shared them with you.  I absolutely love this Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper - it is called Soho Subway and and this pattern is probably my favourite of all the the DSP in the catalogue!  

To make the box I started with a tutorial from my fabulously talented friend and fellow demonstrator Sam Donald - aka Pootles.  I had to alter the size of the box to fit the contents - bars of chocolate - but that was simple enough.

I used Early Espresso & Crisp Cantaloupe card as they match the paper perfectly - don't you just love that about Stampin' Up!?  The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Banners stamp set, cut using the Big Shot and Bitty Banners Framelits Dies. Two Scallop Circle Punches (1 3/4" & 1 1/4") were layered with a Very Vintage Designer Button tied with Linen Thread. The box is tied with a length of Victoria Crochet Trim.

So what do you think? I think they were well received - I know the contents were!

A Perfectly Penned Birthday Card!

Another birthday card for you today showing off the gorgeous Stampin' Up! Soho Subway Designer Series Paper.

The swirls from the Everything Eleanor Stamp Set were stamped in Crumb Cake ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock and the edges of the card sponged. This piece was matted onto Crisp Cantaloupe card and an Early Espresso card base.  The label was a bit of a "happy accident" - I had stamped it in Crisp Cantaloupe ink but it didn't look right so I stamped it again using Crumb Cake ink - but forgot to clean my stamp first!! I quite like the effect.  The sentiment from Perfectly Penned Stamp Set was lined up using the Stamp-a-ma-jig - perfect placement every time! The label was cut out using the super sharp Paper Snips.  

A banner was cut from a piece of Soho Subway Designer Series Paper and edged with card punched using the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch, this was layered on top of a Tea Lace Paper Doilie which had been sponged with Crumb Cake and Crisp Cantaloupe inks.  The label was popped over a piece of Victoria Crochet Trim. A Very Vintage Designer Button knotted with Linen Thread and Pearl Basic Jewels finish the card.

I love the Everything Eleanor Stamp Set; swirls, flowers, labels and a cute bird - what more could you want?
