We R Memory Keepers Punch Boards - Pillow Box

 

Today we have TWO examples of how you can use the We R Memory Keepers' Pillow Box Punch Board. First would be a perfect gift card holder or small gift box for Christmas. Lauren used kraft paper by Neenah to create this pillow box and decorated it with ribbon from May Arts and a tag she created. The tag is using Lady Bug Memento ink on a white Neenah paper using a stamp from the Merry Christmas set by Hero Arts + BasicGrey. She tied the tag on using some embroidering floss and added three pears. Santa's beard is also outlined using a shimmer pen.

This second pillow box shows how you can make all kinds of lengths using your Pillow Box Punch Board. The box was punched out of purple patterend paper and Lauren created a cute tag that is tied around the pillow box using purple baker's twine. The small tag is decorated with stamps from Paper Smooches Needle Little Love with the flowers and leaves colored in with alcohol ink markers.

 

Aren't these pillow boxes just the cutest?! Come to Stamp Fever today to order yours!

Basic Grey Season's Greetings Snowflake Card

Today we have DT Member Lauren's final card using Basic Grey's Merry Christmas stamp set (with Hero Arts) and Basic Grey's 25th and Pine 6x6" paper pad. This card is themed more for winter and uses the snowflake patterned paper form the set.

Lauren started with a kraft (by Neenah) card base and added some patterned paper from the 25th and Pine paper set. She foled up a doily and also added some blue card stock that was punched using a scalloped border punch by EK Success. Lauren added a little touch of silver using a Silver Gelly Roll pen. The "Seasons Greetings" ornament stamp from the Merry Christmas set was stamped in blue on whilte (by Nennah) and she glued a small ribbon using Lawn Fawn's Silver Lawn Trimmings.

 

 

Before using a 3D Foam Square to attach the ornament, she added a pice of glitter tape (by American crafts). She also cut out one of the snowflakes from the paper and glued it behind the doily, just so it peeked out a bit. There are three rhinestones to add some more "bling" to this festive card.

 

We hope you enjoyed Lauren's cards! She, along with all of our design team members, will be at the store on Saturday for our Holiday Open House with a make 'n take. Make sure to come by and say hi... And do a little shopping! :)

Basic Grey Christmas Tree Card

We're back today with more Christmas inspiration for you by DT Member Lauren. She created this Christmas Tree card using Basic Grey's Merry Christmas stamp set (with Hero Arts) and Basic Grey's 25th and Pine 6x6" paper pad.

 

 

 

The card base is kraft by Neenah and she stamped the Christmas tree in green ink on white paper also by Neenah. The patterned paper is from Basic Grey's 25th and Pine. While the tree is from the Merry Christmas set by Basic Grey and Hero Arts, the "Be Merry" sentiment is from Lawn Fawn's stamp set Peace Joy Love and stamped in red chalk ink.

 

 

Lauren crated the stitching look using a Silver Gelly Roll pen. Lauren likes to add a little "bling" to her cards and she used gold glitter on the tree and gold glitter tape by American Crafts. Finally, a little green seam binding ribbon to give the card some texture and dimension.

 

Come back to the blog on Thursday to see Lauren's final card using the Basic Grey products!

Basic Grey Ornament Card

Happy Monday! Today we have some Christmas inspiration for you. DT Member Lauren created this ornament card using Basic Grey's Merry Christmas stamp set (with Hero Arts) and Basic Grey's 25th + Pine 6x6" paper pad.

 

The card stock is kraft and white by Neenah and some blue paper from her stash (we'll be carrying Bazzill so you'll be seeing projects featuring Bazzill paper soon). She used red, pink and blue inks for the oraments and added a small rhinestone to each one. The ornaments are "hanging" using Lawn Fawn's silver Lawn Trimmings and there is some twine also tied around in a bow. The December 25 sentiment is also stamped in red and attached using Tim Holtz's Tiny Attacher.

 

We'll be featuring two more cards this week from Lauren using Basic Grey Christmas products so come back to the blog tomorrow!
