MINI GABLE BOX

Today I am joining in an International Demonstrator Blog Hop. I hope that you find inspiration from all around the world. You are currently visiting Rosalie Desmond from Australia. .

Papercraft isn't just about card making. It is also about boxes, bags, tags, home décor and the like.

Today I would like to share with you this cute little gift box. By simply dressing up a Silver Mini Gable Box I have a box ready to go for gift giving.


I used a 1.5cm strip of Gorgeous Grape card stock and wrapped it around the box, stuck a Pineapple Punch circle, added a Pearlized Doily and fussy cut out a flower image from Love What You Do stamp set which was coloured using Gorgeous Grape ink and blender pen. 



These make great little presents or even a table favour.

I hope you have enjoyed my project and don't forget tp check out all the other blogs. You just never know what you might find.

Happy crafting,

Rosalie

FOLDABLE GIFT BAG - CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE STAMPATON 2018

Welcome to the third Christmas Challenge. The challenge this month is to make at least 1 (hopefully more) foldable Christmas gift bags.

Christmas Challenge Stampathon

with 

Ruth Trice 'Artful Stampin' from the United Kingdom

Denise Garrison 'Lady Bug Stampin'  from the US

Ellen Woodbridge  and Rosalie Desmond from Australia

Be inspired on the 25th of every month with our Christmas Challenge.

Our aim is to make Christmas crafting less stressful by doing a little each month throughout the year. If you choose to join in, not only will you be ahead on your Christmas craft but you will also be in the running to win a prize towards the end of the year. All crafting levels are encouraged to apply. Winners are chosen at random. There will be one major winner from each market. The more months you complete the challenge, the more entries you will have!

This month's theme is Foldable Christmas Gift Bags. You may wonder why have we specifically said "foldable". The answer is easy - to make it easier for you to store them for the next 8 months. While we are all trying to get ahead on our crafting, we also want our projects to fit in a small box or container until we need them in December. 

These foldable gift bags are so easy to make and use one piece of designer series paper 8.5" X 12" to make and then you decorate them.

MEASUREMENTS:

1 piece of 8.5" x 12" designer series paper

Score at 1/2", 4 1/2", 5 3/8", 6 1/4", 10 1/4" and 11 1/8"

Turn and score at 1 1/2" 

The bags are decorated using the detailed star from the Starlight thinlits cut from gold foil paper, the sentiment is from the Star Light stamp set, embossed in gold, the oval is cut from Very Vanilla cardstock and the strip is a 2" x 4" piece of Fresh Fig card. For both of these bags I used DSP from the Eastern Palace pack.

If you would like to join us in the challenge or would like some inspiration from other people's entries, you will find the Christmas Challenge Stampaton 2018 on facebook.

Happy crafting,

Rosalie

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

Today’s post is in the spirit of Valentines Day, even if you don’t celebrate the day in the traditional form, it is often nice to let those around know that they are loved.

Awhile back, a lovely friend and fellow demonstrator, Sue Vine made a wonderful shadow box project complete with a video tutorial. One of my class attendees loved her project so much she requested it for class. So here is my take on Sue’s Project- which you can find here.

I used Bloomin’ Love stamp set and real red ink to decorate the box.

Inside a simple heart shaped chocolate.

See you next time,

CRAZY CRAFTERS BLOG HOP -- ANNUAL CATALOGUE SNEAK PEEK

Welcome once again to a Crazy Crafters Blog Hop. This time we are giving you a little Sneak Peek from the 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue. We hope you find great inspiration from todays projects.

You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog - Rosalie Desmond or may have come from the person previous to me. Be sure to click on the person listed under me further down the page to continue your journey on this blog hop.

Today I am sharing a creation that I made for my daughter using the new stamp set - Daisy Delight and the matching Daisy Punch.

It is a very simple but yet affective project. I stamped out the flower images from Daisy Delight in Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry. For each flower I used three images and layered them up to create a 3D flower.

Once I made enough flowers, I then added them to a headband using hot glue. Then...TA DA! done.

I hope you like my idea of using these products to make a little something special. Thank you for joining me today. I hope you enjoy the remainder of the blog hop,

Rosalie

WASHI WEDNESDAY #8

Welcome once again to Washi Wednesday. I hope you have been enjoying this series as much as I have. Today I have a 3D project for you - a Curvy Keepsake Bunny ready for Easter.

As you can see I used the Pop of Pink washi to add a little texture and interest to the bunny's nose and inside its ears. Sometimes a little washi is all we need.

Thank you for stopping by today,

Rosalie

CRAZY CRAFTERS BLOG HOP WITH MIKAELA TITHERIDGE

Welcome once again to a Crazy Crafters Blog Hop. This time we are CASEing (Copy And Selectively Edit) any project that has been created by Mikaela Titheridge. She has such amazing creations. You should check out her blog. We hope you find great inspiration from todays projects.

You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog - Rosalie Desmond or may have come from the person previous to me. Be sure to click on the person listed under me further down the page to continue your journey on this blog hop.

This is what I was inspired to create.

I loved the simplicity of Mikaela's design in these projects, which I CASEd today.

I used the solid shape from Butterfly thinlits to use as my background, and then the Watercolor Wings stamp set to give a pop of colour to my projects.

I created a matching box with the Window Box Thinlit dies and used the same theme as the card. This time I used the larger butterfly from the Watercolor Wings stamp set for the top of the box.

Thank you for joining me today. I hope you enjoy the remainder of the blog hop,
Rosalie

WASHI WEDNESDAY #5

Hi and welcome to the 5th post in my Washi Wednesday series.

One of the wonderful factors of washi tape, is how quickly it is to use. Today I am giving you an example of a way to quickly use washi to give a room a little pop of colour.

I removed the light switch  cover from my daughters room while she was outside playing - sneaky. I gave it a quick wipe down with some rubbing alcohol to clean the surface.

I simply added strips of the different washi to the cover.

If she decides at any point that she no longer likes pink or just wants a change, it is easy to remove with little fuss or time.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you join me again soon,
Rosalie

Washi Wednesday #4

Hello everyone and welcome to the third in my series of using washi tape.
Today I would like to share a quick project I made using a note pad, some stamps and a little washi.

It is a pretty simple project. I used a square whisper white cardstock and stamped my images using the Flourishing Phrases set. I then added a strip of washi to the top and the bottom to attach it to the front of my notebook.

I then created flowers using these are the colours.

I used the Botanical Builder Framelits and Botanical Blooms stamp set to create the flowers and leaves.

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Sandi MacIver

Welcome once again to a Crazy Crafters Blog Hop. This time we are CASEing (Copy And Selectively Edit) any project that has been created by Sandi MacIver. There are so many amazing projects on her blog, it was hard to choose just one to CASE . We hope you find great inspiration from todays projects.
 
You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog - Rosalie Desmond or may have come from the person previous to me.  Be sure to click on the person listed under me further down the page to continue your journey on this blog hop.

With such amazing work to CASE I really enjoyed making the projects that I am sharing with you today.

This is the card in particular that I got today's inspiration from.

I used the opportunity to have a play with the new Window Box Thinlint Dies (142762 p.43) from the 2017 Occasions Catalogue.

I love to have a matching card with my boxes, to me it is one of things I love about making my own.

The pops of colour were created by using the new Stampin' Up! Watercolour Pencils (141709 p.24) and blender pen to produce the look. I then added a touch of Wink of Stella to add some shimmer to my fairy.

I hope you have enjoyed todays blog hop. Make sure you take the time to take a look at all the other amazing projects,
