Something Saturday - DSP & Blends

 Hi There Creators Today I thought I'd show off an idea that Claire our Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Development Manager showed us in a workshop the other day, I took it a bit further in one of my cards, let me know which card is your favourite! If you'd like to see all the goodies I used on these cards click here:  DSP & Blends Turtles Cards Here are the cards I ended up creating The first 2 I've just used the blends to go round each of the images on the designer paper, I really love the way the images get highlighted from it, almost a "stained glass effect" This first card I also used the blend on the white card base under the Designer Paper to give a border This second card I used the Blend around the edge of the Designer paper to draw a line  (I did use a ruler to do this!) again to create a border.

Mini Paper Pumpkin boxes and Artistry Blooms Designer Series Papers

Hi there Creators
Just in case the title didn't give it away, we have Mini Paper Pumpkin boxes  which are only $13 for 10 of them!  they're so cute, you can fit the note cards and envelopes  (the link is for the white ones, but there are vanilla ones too) into it, so they're a fair size!  Also they're food safe, so you could put a biscuit in 😊  I've decorated this one up with the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper, funny really I didn't think much of this paper when I ordered it but I wanted to see what it was like, now I'm feeling a bit hooked! lol
Anyway on with the photos.....

I've cut the Artistry Blooms Patterned paper so the grading on it goes all the way round the box, starting with the flap, then top, back, underneath and lastly on the piece under the flap, then I've cut 2 separate pieces for the sides.  I do love the way this paper is graded up the page to the different colours.

On the top I've used one of the square vellum doilies, the saying is from the Hand-Drawn Blooms stamp set, and I've added some of the fabulous new Artistry Blooms Sequins, love the fact that they don't have a hole in the middle of them, so they look more like diamantes (and they've got their sticky bit underneath them)

I think these boxes are pretty cool, and I'm planning to use them for giving small pressies a special look.
What do you reckon?  I hope it inspires you with your gift wrapping.
God Bless love
