Gift Bag Punch Board!

I don't know about you, but I'm a little addicted to these fun "Punch Boards" and the new Gift Bag board is a little bit fun to play with..:0)
I started by making the standard sizes that the board suggests, but then l thought l'd have a go at making some more substantial sizes and here's what l came up with!

This black one uses 2 x A4 cardstock. I've included a simple how to below.
Assembled box size:W: 8-7/8" H: 7" D:2"

Instructions:
1. Line up the 8-1/4" side of the cardstock @ the start line, punch & score on sideline-horizontal line- V & center gusset lines.
2. Line up the sideline score mark and punch again.
3. Slide cardstock along so the right hand edge of your cardstock is flush with the right side of the punch board & "SCORE ONLY"@ the medium scoreline (do not punch).
4. Continue to score all the way along the "Horizontal" line.
5. Slide the medium scoreline all the way across to the start line & "PUNCH ONLY" (do not score).
6. Repeat all 5 steps on the second piece of cardstock.

You now have a back & front, you're ready to put it together & decorate!
 I used some "NEW" yummy's on my tags. The RMDH set called "Sprinkles of life" & the coordinating "Tree builder" punch and "Build a Birthday" set.

Don't forget to check back, as l will be sharing a second gift bag made with Mint Macaron..:0)

Just Add Ink #262....Colour!

Happy Friday peeps! Our challenge this week is from the lovely Di Barnes. She has suggested a lovely mix of colours for us to create with over at Just Add Ink. They are really soft and gentle...A little like Di herself..:0) xx

I used the Calypso Coral Blendies for colouring the "Indescribable Gift" flower image and really love the vibrancy.

Pop over and be inspired by the fab inspiration from the rest of the design team.

Sneak Peek #4

So this is the last sneak peek from Convention, before l start sharing some projects made with products purchased during our pre-order. Come July 2nd, they will all be available to order with the release of the 2015/16 Catalogue.
This little note card uses a panel that we got to paper pierce with the new piercing templates and also features another new DSP.

Sneak Peek #3

Today's share is more about the colour, "Mint Macaron"...Yummy! It's one of the 5 new In-Colours for 2015/2017 and is absolutely hands down my fave!.

We received the piece of  DSP in one of our "make n takes" and instead of creating an envelope, l've used it on this cute little 4" x 4" notecard.

Sneak Peek #2

As you all know, l'm a packaging nut, so this new little box tool was a bit of excitement for me and as we got the opportunity to create one, l thought l'd add some bits and share..:0)

It also showcases the lovely "Bohemian" dsp, it's such a lovely patterned paper and the colours are just gorgeous!

A Sneak Peek!...

Finally after unpacking and putting everything in order, l found some time to take a few pics of some of the goodies we got to play with at Convention.

Both of these were created using a couple of panel samples we got to stamp during a "Product Playground" session, so l thought l would put them to good use so l had something to share with you..:0)

I have a few more posts coming up, using some of the other new products we got to sample, so if you'd like some more sneak peeks, keep an eye out for those.

Just Add Ink #261....Inspiration!

So it's back to normal programming this week and we have a stunning colour palette from Trish. I have renewed my love of Lost Lagoon with this one and teamed with Sahara Sand it's such a calming, soft combination.

The DT have used Lot's of combinations of these colours and the result is some pretty fab inspiration, which you can find over at the Just Add Ink challenge blog!

JAI Inspire-Create-Share Swaps!

As we always do, the "Just Add Ink" girls had an organised swap. This is another highlight of  Stampin Up events for me, l love and admire these creative girls and bringing home a little piece of art from each of them, just makes me smile every time l look at them.

Here's what l came up with this year, totally not what l was planning to make when l started, but I'm happy with them just the same..:0)
