Woot woot! I got all my projects done for the June release - however with it being thisclose to the actual RELEASE the site is getting bogged down and I can't get my pics uploaded to the gallery. No biggie tho as I can share my projects on here and will upload my PT gallery in the next day or tow when it's a little slower.
So here are my samples using the new Boards and Beams stamp set - OMG do I ever LOVE this set!! I had a blast creating these few samples and I have already started thinking about what else I can make and who I can send gifts to using this set - there is just something so classic and timeless about it - the clean lines and attention to detail is FABULOUS (and typical of Nichole!!).
For this first sample I used one of Papertrey's Small White Gable Boxes - I created a band out of Spring Moss cardstock, stamped the trees with Spring Moss ink, then stamped the fence with VersaMark and embossed it with white embossing powder.
I stamped the house image on PT white CS, used Copic markers to color it in then cut it out and adhered it to the band with dimensionals.
The sentiment was stamped onto Stampin' Up! Creamy Caramel CS, cut out (I used their key tag punch to round the edges a bit) then adhered to the box.
I finished it off with a little Spring Moss ribbon tied in a bow and that was it!
My thinking behind this box is that it would be great for a new homeowner - you could fill it with a mini flash light, some push pins, tape, etc etc etc - you know all those little things you NEED when you first move and then can't seem to find???
I had a hard time getting a really good picture of this card - it looks a LOT neater in real life!
I stamped the house onto PT's Kraft CS with VersaMark then embossed it with clear embossing powder. I then took my Prismacolor pencils (haven't used those in a long time) and colored it all in.
The trees, fence and walkway were also stamped and embossed on Kraft CS, then the house was adhered on top using dimensionals.
(all these pictures can be clicked on for a pop-up window with a larger image).
I LOVE this set of sentiments with the set - I stamped the house on the inside with Creamy Caramel (SU!) ink then stamped the sentiment.
This last sample I threw together in MINUTES - I couldn't put the set down and had to make just one more thing. I wanted to show how you don't HAVE to color in the houses - I stamped them onto Plum Pudding CS (loving this new color!) with VersaMark then embossed them with clear embossing powder.
I took a very light gray Prismacolor pencil and colored in parts of just one of the houses to make it stand out.
The ribbon is the new Plum Pudding Swiss dot satin, I used my Making Memories Ribbon Slot punch to make the holes next to the sentiment to slip it through.
