Seaside theme for a Stamp-a-Stack

Posted on by

Thank you to the lovely ladies who joined me for my summer themed Stamp-a-Stack event this weekend. We had such a good time and made so many lovely cards.

All the projects for the day were seaside themed to get us into the mood for the fore-casted high temperatures later this week. On arrival each lady was given a clear wallet containing a pack of By the Shore dsp, 20 card bases in a variety of co-ordinating colours, a pack of Metallic Enamel Shapes, 20 Very Vanilla Envelopes and packets of pre-cut card stock layers to make each card. Mind you we all had a good laugh when we realised that I had only put 10 card bases in each pack………definitely a muppet moment. Luckily I only live 3 minutes away and was able to nip home and grab more cardstock to cut and score the missing bases.

As always the day whizzed by so quickly. Here is a picture of some of the ladies hard at work and of some of the projects they made.

Seaside Shore Table gifts for my Stamp-a-Stack

Posted on by

Another sneak peek today but this time I am sharing the treat boxes I have made for my Stamp-a-Stack event on the 6th May at Manor Farm, Bourn. I decided on a summer/seaside theme for the projects that the ladies will be making and wanted a little sweet treat to help them get into the mood.

I cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock into a 5½” by 7¾”. Using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool I scored on the long side at ½”, 1”, 6¾” & 7¼”. I then rotated the cardstock 90⁰ and scored at ½”, 2½”, 3” & 5” on the short side. I  folded and burnished all the score lines using my Bone Folder before cutting and forming the tabs and box closures at either end using scissors – see picture.

Before putting the box together I stamped an aquarium scene working from the bottom up to the top. I used Dapper Denim, Calypso Coral, Blushing Bride, Soft Sky and Mint Macaron inks to do this. I like to do my stamping after the box is scored and ready for assembling as I can see exactly where to put all the images to create my scene. After the stamping was complete I added Fast Fuse Adhesive to the side tabs and closed the box. The base and top openings then just tuck in.

I added some Dapper Denim Ruched Ribbon to the top of the box along with a sentiment from the Designer Tee stamp set which was die cut using the Big Shot and a tag from the Curvy Keepsake Thinlit Dies and tied on using Night of Navy Baker’s Twine. Inside is a gorgeous Guylian Seashell bar of chocolate……..yum……
