Whimsy Christmas Note Card Box

Hello!

I have another Whimsy Stamps DT project to share this week.

Lately, I've been in the mood of making something different, not just cards.
So this time I wanted to make another note card box, but different from the one I recently made. I looked for a good tutorial and I found a fabulous one by Gio.

All the stamps I used here are from the Peace on Earth set designed by Crissy Armstrong.



I used two papers from the beautiful Whimsy Stamps, Very Merry pack. I used one of my border punches. Distressed the papers and put some golden glitter glue. The buttons are from stash.



I coloured the image with watercolour pencils and I used my Nestabilities, Classic Scalloped Ovals large dies.



I made four 3x3 cards in two designs. I used white cardstock for the base (for both the box and the cards).



They fit perfectly into the box.



This is what two of the cards look like, I used one of the Very Merry papers I used for the top of the box so that the cards and the box would match. The baige ribbon is from stash.



This is one of the sentiments from the Peace on Earth set, again I used my Nestabilities dies and golden glitter glue.



This is what the other two cards look like. Again, I used the other one of the two Very Merry papers I used for the top of the box. The red ribbon is from stash.



And this is another sentiment from the Peace on Earth set and like for the other cards I used my nesties and golden glitter glue.



These are all of the cards. I eventually made two more, but took the photos before that.



I just added a ribbon, I chose one that would match the bow in the gorgeous image on the top - red, with golden (yellowish) edges.

I'm entering:
Bunny Zoes Crafts monthly challenge - "Anything for Christmas but not a card" -(my box)
Die Cut Dreams - "Anyhting but a card" (again, my box)
Everybody Art Challenge - "Use Shapes"
Paper Cutz challenge - "Anything Goes"
Crafty Catz - "Christmas"

All the stamps I used and the papers are available at Whimsy Stamps.

Edited to add: Come back to my blog tomorrow, as I will have a blog candy for my followers! :)

Picnic Solace - little note card (tag) box

Hello!

Today I inked up my new Belles'n Whistles stamp called "Picnic Solace" and instead of making a card, I thought I would make a little note card box as I noticed a very nice tutorial on Elisabeth Bell's World challenges blog. Their October challenge (which is their first ever challenge by the way!!) is to make a project, a 3x3 note card box or tote and they've provided links for both tutorials (at Splitcoaststampers), I followed this one - 3x3 Note Card Box Tutorial.



I used beige cardstock for the base and some MME papers fom "The Merry Days of Christmas" collection.



The stamp like I said is Belles'n Whistles called Picnic Solace which I actually won in their previous blog hop. I used a Whimsy Stamps sentiment which is part of the Birthday Letter Seals set designed by Ann Vento.



I added a dotty ribbon wich I bought at a local craft store and used one of my favourite border punches.



The flower was made by me, I put a Woodware brad in the centre and added two buttons (which I actually bought this summer in Greece lol)



The image was coloured with watercolour pencils.



Instead of a card, I made a little tag which I put inside of the box and filled the box with roses.



I used one detail from the same image, coloured it in and added it to the tag. The tag base is a Stampendous stamp and I added a piece of the same dotty ribbon.



I'm actually very pleased how this little project turned out. :)

With this little note card box I'm entering the following challenges:

Elisabeth Bell's World challenges October project, to make 3x3 note card box or tote. I have to say that this challenge blog is just perfect for all those who love Elisabeth Bell images and like me have lots of stamps designed by her. :)

Belles'n Whistles challenge with the theme "Trick or Treat me" (the theme is not Halloween, but to either trick (add some hidden elements to your cards) or treat with a gorgeous card (I hope it doesn't have to be a card...)

Thank you for stopping by and Happy Halloween ! :)
