Pillow Box

Today I am working with the Sizzix pillow box die #113466.
This is a super quick and easy way to make a gift/treat box. I plan on making a large assortment for all occasions to have on hand in a pinch.




Supplies used on this group were:
1. Autumn Days stamp set, Autumn Traditions dsp, Soft Suede cardstock and polka dot grosgrain ribbon.
2. Rich Razzleberry cardstock and ink with Medallion stamp, Birds & Blooms Sizzlits die for flower, stretch silver cording (coming in the new Holiday mini) Pretties Kit.
3. Naturals White cardstock that was first swiped with Going Gray ink and then embossed with the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder with the flower centers accented with Dazzling Diamonds, butterfly from Dreams du Jour embossed in silver on Brushed Silver.

Some more samples!

More Artful INKables

I really love this new set from Artful INKables called Boys Will Be Boys. I colored the image with Copic markers and used today's colors of Only Orange, Purely Pomegranate, and Brilliant Blue. Copic markers were: YR09 Chinese Orange, R39 Garnet,R11 Pale Cherry Pink, E21 Baby Skin Pink, B29 Ultramarine, BG10 Cool Shadow, YR24 Pale Sepia, E37 Sepia. Hodgepodge Hardware Antique Copper and mini butterfly punches for embellishing. I ran the orange cardstock through an inked Sizzix texture embossing folder. Simply brayer on the matching ink the same as the cardstock you are using before running it through the Big Shot. It gives it a bit more definition.

Texture Plate

I scored big time at Joann's today. I got a set of Sizzix Texture plates (a double sided 3 pack) and it came with the extra crease pad and silicone mat all for $7.97.
Woo!!!! I inked the plate with Real Red and then ran it through the Big Shot. It slipped while it was going through and I like the way the mistake came out. Kind of 60's looking. Fifth Avenue Floral rose was embossed with black powder on Whisper White and colored with aquapainter and real red ink. Oval All sentiment with new scallop oval punch for sentiment and Sizzlits Little Leaves in Basic Black behind popped up rose.
