Counting Moments and Making Moments Count

October 4, 2020 Leave a Comment

Although I planned to have this blog post done before I started my personal World Cardmaking Day challenge it didn’t happen. So after spending the past 10 hours or so designing and making the first 12 cards I’m taking a little break. It’s just after midnight and a good time to spend a few moments putting the finishing touches to my blog.

SIMPLE BOX WRAP

For this week’s simple Sunday project I decided to do an easy box wrap.

I began by making up a Mini Paper Pumpkin Box. This is plain white with a food-safe lining and I decided to leave the box white.

Then I cut a 2″ x 11″ piece of Petal Pink Card and wrapped it around the box. As I wrapped I used my finger and thumb to gently squeeze the card around the edges of the box. With the join on on the back I overlapped the card ends and secured them to each other with Tear & Tape Adhesive.

Next I chose a pretty Petal Pink floral pattern from the Peony Garden 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. After cutting it down to 4-1/2″ x 10″ I wrapped the DSP around the Petal Pink Card. Then I fixed the ends of the DSP to the card at the back of the box.

BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS

With the box now covered I cut a piece of Petal Pink 5/8″ Organdy Striped Ribbon. I wrapped the ribbon around the box and secured the ends on the front with Tear & Tape Adhesive. Then I tied a simple bow from a second piece of the ribbon and attached it to the box to the ribbon ends.

All I had left to do was create the sentiment label and for that I chose the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set.

Using Petal Pink ink I stamped “thinking of you” onto some Whisper White Card. Then I cut it out using the Timeless Label Punch. Using a little more Tear & Tape Adhesive I fixed the sentiment to the box tucking one end under the bow.

Finally I added three small Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the sentiment and my project was complete.

MARATHON SESSION

At the time this blog post is published I’ll have about 5 hours of my marathon card making challenge left to go. You can follow my progress so far over on my business Facebook page. I’d love for you to leave a comment or words of encouragement as the deadline gets closer and my stress goes up.
