June 2015 Tour de Freaks Blog Hop

June 19, 2015 By Connie | 3 Comments

freakwelcome2013
Woohoo!  It’s time for the monthly Control Freaks Tour de Freaks blog hop!  Seems like a while since I did the blog hop since I missed May due to the Hawaii Incentive Trip!  Theme this month is NEW STUFF!  Yeah!  I can attest that I have some of that to share!  You’ve probably just come from Deb Currier’s blog, love her ideas, don’t you?

 

Here’s my first project using the Cutie Pie Box Thinlit that I turned into a Christmas Tree box!  Wouldn’t this be fun to give someone filled with treats?

 

Tree Cutie Pie Box

  • I used Old Olive cardstock for the box and Chocolate Chip for the tree trunk.
  • The stripe pattern in the Merry Moments Designer Paper makes great “garland” for the tree and some decoration along the sides.
  • In between the garland are “ornaments” of Silver Sequins from the Sequin Trim.
  • At top is the new Star Punch from Silver Glimmer Paper and is added with a Stampin’ Dimensional to the top.
  • Very Merry is from And Many More stamp set and stamped with Cherry Cobbler Ink, then punched with the new Washi Tape punch.
  • A couple Petite Flowers punched from Real Red are added to the side with a Silver Sequin in the center.

And, of course, I needed a matching card…all using the Cutie Pie Box Thinlet, too!

  • The larger size is a tree FRAME with the DSP behind the opening.  I used the larger box size and the additional smaller size framelits to make a tree frame.  A few sequins were added for “ornaments”.
  • The smaller one is the framelit cut out out from the larger size and I decorated it like the box.  The flower is two Petite Petals Punches from the reverse side of the stripe DSP.
  • Merry Christmas is from the new set, Lots of Joy, stamped in Real Red.
  • The 3 1/2 x 4 Smoky Slate cardstock is embossed with the Elegants Dots Folder and adhered to the 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White, then the 4-1/4 x 11 base of Real Red cardstock.
  • Some 1/8″ Silver Ribbon hides the seam.
  • The trunks are just cut pieces of Chocolate Chip cardstock.

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 20 years and will have my 19th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    Great project Connie. Thanks for the brilliant idea of what to do with my pie shaped boxes from last November’s Paper Pumpkin kit. Gifts cards will be well hidden this year.
