Creating Kindness Design Team Blog Hop ~ 3D Gift Giving #stampinup

#creatingkindnessdesignteam #ckdthop #ckdt #stampinup

Hi Everyone

Thank you for joining us today and welcome to the Creating Kindness Design Team's July blog hop. We are a group of international demonstrators hoping to inspire you with our projects; to spread kindness through card making and papercrafts. A great way to do this is to #makeacardsendacard with a little gift to let someone know you are thinking of them. We have created projects with the theme of 3D / Gift Giving and are very lucky to be joined by a special guest designer, Sue Plote!

You may have arrived from Satomi Wellard in Japan or started here with me Jay Soriano at Mitosu Crafts' blog in the UK. You will find a list at the end of this post to check your progress along our blog hop or simply click the 'Visit Next Blog' image to be taken to Jessie Holton's post from Australia.

For my projects, I created a small gift box and a matching card which could be given on a special occasion or to lift someone's day.

The sentiments from the Eastern Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set and the Eastern Medallions Thinlits Dies, which comes as a Bundle, are great for generic all occasion projects. I also used the Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Series Paper which works great against the Basic Gray card stock.

The box holds a Lush pot of Face and Body Scrub product. Lush specialises on fresh handmade cosmetics which I myself often use and give as gifts (my favourite are their Bubble Bars especially The Comforter). The team at our local store in Basingstoke are always welcoming and happy to help. You will definitely find something for anyone you need a gift for!

The box measures 3" x 2 1/8" x 3

Lid: Foil Frenzy DSP 5 15/16"

~Score @ 3/4" & 1 1/2" on all sides

Bottom: Basic Gray card stock 4 1/16" x 6 1/4" (x2)

 ~ Score @ 1/2" & 2 5/8" ~ Turn 90˚ ~ Score @ 2 7/8" & 5 3/4"

For the card I used the same card stock and DSP to match the gift box with a bit of Gold Ribbon, Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush, Rhinestone Basic Jewels and Glitter Enamel Dots. I also did a bit of watercolouring with the Aqua Painters to mirror the look of the Lemon Lime Twist Ombre Ribbon for the centre of the medallion then heat emboss the sentiment with White Stampin' Emboss Powder. I really like how the Vellum softens the foiling on the DSP and ties the whole design together.

Creating Kindness Blog Hop ~ New Catalogue Favourites #stampinup

#creatingkindnessdesignteam #ckdthop #ckdt #stampinup

Hi Everyone

Thank you for joining us today for the debut blog hop of the Creating Kindness Design Team. We are a group of demonstrators from around the world hoping to inspire you with our monthly blog hop, to create kindness through cardmaking and papercraft.

You may have arrived here from Marcy Denning in Canada or started here at Mitosu Crafts' blog with me Jay Soriano, from the UK

#ckdthop #ckdtdebut #ckdtlaunch

You will find a list at the end of this post to check your progress along the blog hop or simply click the 'Visit Next Blog' image to be taken to Jessie Holton's blog from Australia.

For our launch, we have created projects using our new favourites from the NEW Annual Catalogue by Stampin' Up! which launched today. Have you got your copy yet?

I used This Little Piggy stamp set (surprise, surprise) for my project and created a slider card! I first saw this fancy fold from Dawn Griffith and thought it would be fab for my card. My first effort below, follows Dawn's tutorial, also using the Birthday Blossoms for the sentiment.

I then used the coloured piggies I did from a previous post showing how I use the Watercolour Pencils with 5 colouring techniques. I changed the measurements for the middle / slider and added a card base so it can stand on its own as well as having more writing space.

Click on the products used below to be taken to our Online Shop for more details:

This Little Piggy
Watercolour Pencils
Aqua Painters
Stampin' Trimmer

It's such a fun card and the sentiment is great to brighten someone's day. Watch these cards in action in the video tutorial below. You too can enjoy making and sending this amazing slider card :)

UPDATE: I apologise that I have shared 1 wrong measurement for the last score line of the casing in the video at 2minutes.

Correct measurement for the LAST SCORE LINE should be made at  4 1/2"

What's great about this hop is that the other Design Team members have also uploaded video tutorials for you to enjoy.  Click on one of the links below to be taken to YouTube. You can then continue the video hop by checking out the video description which contains the same links below.
