VIDEO SERIES: Timeless Elegance Set Part 2 – The Box

stampin up gift set timeless elegance part 2

BOX

This Timeless Elegance peek-a-boo card and milk carton style gift box set are "wow" projects. Made with the Stampin Up Timeless Elegance designer paper. This "milk carton" style box is super easy to make, and makes a great gift package for so many occasions: birthday, wedding favors, thank you, etc. The embellishments are from the Botanical Builder Framelits and Metal Rimmed Pearls. The gift set was designed by Kathie Rotti, the box template came from Sam Hammond. The video series comes to you per your requests on Facebook. Thanks for asking, this was very fun to make. Be sure to check out Part 1 for how to make the Peek-a-boo Card and flowers.

VIDEO SERIES: Timeless Elegance Set Part 1 – Peak-a-boo Card

stampin up gift set timeless elegance part 1a

This Timeless Elegance peek-a-boo card and milk carton style gift box set are "wows". Made with the Stampin Up Timeless Elegance designer paper. Designed by Kathie Rotti for our Stamp It blog hop earlier this month. We received so many requests for a "how to" video on Facebook, how could I say no? Plus I really wanted to make them too. Not only are they beautiful, but they are so versatile. Originally made as "thank you" gift set, I switched out the sayings and turned this into a "wedding" gift set. Either for a wedding gift, or bridal shower invites and favors. Just a quick note, I don't have word on what's "retiring" from Stampin Up's Annual Catalog yet (with the exception of the In Colors) but it's rare that any designer papers carry over. So I do recommend getting this paper asap.

VIDEO: Ombre Resist Technique & Celebrating $1.4 Million

stampin up one big meaning resist technique

CARD

I "cased" (copied) this card idea from the Stampin Up demo magazine for this blog post. I made it my own by changing the colors and stamp sets (supplies below). The Color Me Irresistible paper was on special this week, so I've been having some fun playing with it. This is an "Ombre Resist" technique. Instead of just photographing the card after I made it, I Periscoped a live broadcast while I was making it. It was like stamping with friends. CARD MEASUREMENTS
  • Base: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" folded in half
  • Color Me Irresistible paper: 2" x 3-3/4"
The video of the broadcast and how to make this card are below. Plus a sneak peek at my upcoming YouTube "wow" videos.

This card is just awesome! I love the emboss resist technique. The star fish image is from the Stampin Up Picture Perfect stamp set. On the background, it's heat embossed in white, then sponged.
