OK, stampers! Are you ready for a little sneak peek from the Holiday Mini?
One of our Convention Make & Takes was a Stampin' Card Keeper!
I know that many of you were disappointed last year when Stampin' Up! retired the plastic, snap-together Craft Keeper. In September, they'll be introducing a new style of card box that is easier to customize and decorate, and just as functional! Woohoo!
Let's take a look at our project…
It's a heavy-duty, white paper-covered chipboard box that you can use to organize all of your standard-size cards by month, theme, or holiday. You can personalize the box with Designer Paper, stamping and embellishments to make it your own! It comes with patterns for covering the box, and the metal label holder attaches after you've decorated. I love the possibilities! And, who doesn't need a card holder for all of the fabulous cards we create?! Oh yeah!
We covered the lid with Timeless Portrait Designer Fabric (ooohh, I'm loving this black & white pattern!) using Sticky Strip to hold it firmly at the edges.
The blossom is created by layering lots and lots of elements: Fancy Flower punches in More Mustard and Cherry Cobbler, Blossom Petals in Cherry Cobbler and Lucky Limeade (for the leaves), and Lace Ribbon Border medallions in Island Indigo for a pop of contrasting color. All of the petals were crumpled and stacked on LOTS of Dimensionals to create this 3D look.
We added a Clear Crystal Bauble to the flower center for an eye-catching accent! Beautiful!
The box comes with six white paper-covered chipboard dividers that are also customizable. We added Timeless Portrait DSP (swatches shown above) to match the fabric on the box lid. Very nice!
