Something Saturday - Bleach or White?

 Hi There Creators Before I forget, there is an AMAZING special on this month, not only are the new catalogue (and new Online Products) live, but there is a joining special, pick out $303 of goodies but only pay $169!!  Ask me if you're interested and want to know more, or if you know you want to take the plunge, click here: Join Heather's Team. Today I thought I'd play around with a spot of bleach stamping, then decided to throw white into the mix too, it's interesting what a difference it makes, I like both!  Bleach is fascinating when it reacts with different cardstocks (interestingly didn't work on our black cardstock at all!)  I used Pecan Pie card . To create these cards I also needed:  Stazon Black Ink Pad     white Craft Ink   You are Remarkable Stamp set    And bleach (in my case domestos 🤣)  Oh and a pointy paintbrush First up you stamp using Stazon (because it stays on! - in particular with bleach and waterbased compone...

Something Saturday - Scalloped Gift Card Box

 Hi There Creators

Well I have to say this box stumped me initially, (probably because I didn't read the name right) - it's all in the name "Gift Card", so I was wondering what the heck the insert bit was for 🤣   Now I know!  check them out here: Scalloped Gift Card Box

Anyway in my video today I decorate it up for a Father's Day gift (shhh don't tell Tom)  I'm pretty sure I'm safe as Father's day is tomorrow and he's unlikely to watch my video or read my blog 🤣 (now just to make sure he doesn't look over my shoulder as I type this up.....)

So this is a really cute little box, obviously designed to hold a gift card, it slips into the insert nicely (who'd have thought?!)  with just a few pieces of cut Designer paper and a stamp or two you can make it look really good.  As you can see I had to add a bit of bling, so I chose the More Dazzle specialty paper to go as the top base layer.  Then the Designer paper I chose is the Let's Go Fishing that I thought Tom would appreciate, (he does enjoy a spot of fishing every so often)  (check them out with the links)

And on the inside I thought I'd better add his "other love" Motorbikes, so these are from the Legendary Ride Stamp set

I did mention in the video that I would pop the layer measurements down here for you, so here goes.....

Bottom Layer

  • Top and bottom of box: 4" x 2 3/4"
  • Long Sides: 4" x 7/8"
  • Short Sides 2 3/4" x 7/8"

Top Layer

  • Top & Bottom of box: 3 3/4" x 2 1/2"
  • Long Side: 3 3/4" x 5/8"
  • Short Side 2 1/2" x 5/8"

It does say with the box that the scallop can be tucked in if you want to, although I didn't find it wanted to tuck in well, having said that I'd rather just wrap a bit of ribbon round it and tie it up, which is what I'll do.  I reckon for $1.23 per box it's a rather nice way to display a gift card and make it a bit more special than just an envelope (and you get 10 in the box, ideal for Birthdays and Christmas 😉)

If you missed the video here it is:


I hope this inspires you to do something special with your gift cards.

God Bless love
