I was chatting with the fabulous Paula Dobson one day and the subject of stepping outside one's comfort zone when creating came up. So Paula challenged me to create a project using ONLY Stampin' Up! products. "I'm up for that", I thought... and waited for inspiration to settle over me.
Settle over me it did - in the form of one of Lauren Meader's fantastic 3D projects - check out her amazing site here. I chose The Flapper Box (maybe because it was full of chocolate??). The straight-forward instructions made constructing this REALLY easy - and FUN!
Here's the list of ingredients used:
Card Stock: Blushing Bride, Espresso, Very Vanilla
Ink: Soft Suede, Pink Pirouette
Stamps: Yummy, Happy Harmony
Miscellany: Blushing Bride ribbon, silver brads, Eyelet Border punch, Photo Corners punchThis yummy choccie box is going straight to Paula - to say Merry Christmas and thanks for all your creative help and guidance since I started stamping. SURPRISE!
Oh wow, Ali! That is just so, so, so gorgeous! I really love it! I think I will attempt one of these while on holiday. Might have to improvise cos I don't have all the bits needed, but thanks for the inspiration!
