Bakers Box Artfully Adorned. Stampin' Up!

This sweet little box was made using the Bakers Box Die #138279 and some extra embellishments I had in my stash, along with a retiring punch.
I enjoy having a day using up "leftovers" for my own personal projects when I need a gift for that special someone.  It's fun re-visiting old stamps and punches, ribbons and trim and seeing what I can come up with.

Free Gift for June. Stampin' Up! Australia

I am giving away a notecard wallet for all my June customers!
To receive your wallet from me, please remember not to check the "no contact" option when you place your order, so I can contact you to post out your gift.

This wallet fits the notecards and envelopes perfectly, and will hold 6 single layer cards and 6 envelopes!
Once you have received your wallet, you can use it as a template to make more of these.
The score lines for the wallet are :
2", turn 90 degrees
2 1/2", turn
2", turn
3 3/4 "
Now turn back 90 degrees in the opposite direction and score at 5 3/4" and 6 1/4" to make the spine.

Balloon Celebration and Matching Punch.

The Balloon Celebration Stamp Set lends itself to lovely soft images: here I have simply pierced the edges of the card with a paper piercer to add to the ethereal feel .

Using masks and embossing for backgrounds.

The background piece on top was made by watercoloring a mix of colours then running the page through an embossing folder and spritzing well with water. this flattened out the embossing, but left a pretty design on the surface.  The other 2 pieces were made by sponging over decorative masks. I spritzed the pink and blue piece on the left with water, and left the blue piece on the right untouched as I wanted to accent the ombre effect of different hues of sponged link.
