It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge! This week is a cheerful color combination to inspire you!
OCEAN FRIENDS
Serendipity!!! So, normally we do cards for our challenges, but I’ve been wanting to show off these favors that I made for a few of my friends who were on the Royal Caribbean crafting cruise with me a couple weeks ago! This package just happened to be the colors for today’s challenge! We had a blast! Cruising…and crafting…two of my favorite things! These little “hot hands” are to hold your craft project while heat embossing, gluing, or any other time you need an extra hand! I thought they were so fun and came in a variety of colors. This one I saved for myself because I love the Lemon Lime Twist color!
Stampin’ Details:
- The tag is the solid center shape from the Meant to Bee Dies cut from Summer Splash cardstock. It was stamped with the bubbles in Summer Splash ink randomly in the background.
- The coral was cut with the Ocean Friends Die from Calypso Coral cardstock, then cut in half. It was added to the die cut tag.
- The crab was stamped with Lemon Lime Twist outline and stamped off solid image on Basic White cardstock, then cut with the Ocean Friends Die. It was tucked in the coral with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The greeting from Ocean Friends was stamped with Summer Splash Ink on 1/2 x 3 piece of Basic White and the ends cut at an angle. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A coral Sunny Day Iridescent Dot was added to the background.
- The top was punched with 1/8″ Circle Punch (retired) and tied around the 3 x 9 Printed Gusseted Cello Bag (retired).
- The cello bag was tied closed with a 1-1/2 Gold Open Weave Trim in a bow.
This was such a fun project to make, and I think they liked them! OK, go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Stamping Friends.
