Another Look at Wood Words

Hi Stampers,

Have you seen the sweet crates you can create with the Wood Words bundle? They're a great way to give a little treat to someone special. But it's not just for crates - this set makes beautiful cards, too!

The one on the left uses Bermuda Bay, Basic Black & Whisper White with just a touch of Peekaboo Peach for good measure. The one on the right is created from Daffodil Delight, Basic Black & Whisper White.

I think this is my fave. These colors have such a fresh, summery feeling to them. The background was created with the Hardwood stamp on Whisper White. I stamped the floral pattern diagonally & colored in some of the flowers with a Daffodil Delight marker. The rooster die-cut is included with the Wood Crate Framelits (part of the Wood Words bundle - save 10%). The design on the Daffodil Delight stitched ribbon reminds me of chicken scratchings! I used some Glitter Enamel Dots on this one, too.

Both versions of this card use an oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I made several of these cards, and on some I added an extra scalloped oval for another pop of color. The scalloped oval is found in the Layering Ovals Framelits. As you can see, the sizes from both sets of Framelits work together or alone! On this card I added a strip of 5/8" burlap ribbon. The coloring on the spray of flowers was done with a Peekaboo Peach marker. You could also use a Blender Pen & Peekaboo Peach inkpad to get this look.

The oval is attached with Stampin' Dimensionals. The banner is attached directly to the oval on the right end with Snail adhesive. The left end is attached with one Dimensional so it matches the height of the oval. Hopefully you can see what I mean in the photo! "Hello Friend" is embossed with White Stampin' Emboss Powder on a 1/2" strip of Basic Black cardstock and the ends of the banner are flagged with the Triple Banner Punch. If you're good with your paper snips you probably don't need the punch for a small banner like this. Enamel shapes from the Brights collection add even more color.

I'm in love with the floral spray that is part of Wood Words. It makes great backgrounds, but it also looks beautiful on its own!

Fresh Treats for You

Hi Stampers,

Today I'm sharing another project made with the Wood Words Bundle.

My "fresh treats" are going to be homemade cookies. This crate is the perfect size to hold three of your favorites!

I used the Hardwood stamp to make the woodgrain design. The colors are Crumb Cake ink on matching cardstock. The "fresh treats" banner is a 1/2" strip of Dapper Denim cardstock flagged on one end using the Triple Banner Punch. The star is cut from a Copper Foil Sheet using the Wood Words framelits. The cute little tag is also part of the framelit set and tied on with a piece of Linen Thread.

The 3"x 3" notecard is made from Crumb Cake cardstock. The 1/2" strip across the center is Sahara Sand cardstock. All of the stamping is done with Dapper Denim, and the heart is die-cut.

Visit yesterday's blog post for more details on stamping the woodgrain and assembling the crate.

Thanks for visiting my blog today!

Happy stamping,

Hello, Friend - A Treat for You!

Hi Stampers,

Today I'm sharing some ideas for treat packaging using the new Wood Words Bundle. I've been having so much fun with this set!

I used "country" colors on these projects - Dapper Denim, Cherry Cobbler, Sahara Sand and Whisper White. What a perfect way to make someone's day by giving them this sweet little gift!

Here's the little note card I tucked inside the crate. It's a piece of 3" x 6" Thick Whisper White cardstock, scored & folded into a 3" x 3" card. The first layer is Dapper Denim. I stamped the spray of flowers from the stamp set diagonally across a 3" x 3" piece using Dapper Denim ink and die-cut it with the Layering Squares Framelits. The next layer is a piece of regular weight Whisper White. I stamped the same spray of flowers in Sahara Sand and die-cut it with the 1-5/8" square from my Stitched Shapes Framelits. "Hello Friend" is stamped in Dapper Denim on a 1/2" strip of Sahara Sand cardstock and flagged on both ends with the Triple Banner Punch. The rooster is stamped in Dapper Denim on Whisper White cardstock and die-cut with the matching framelit.

I constructed the crate from Thick Whisper White cardstock. The Hardwood background stamp is perfect to use for this. I stamped it with Sahara Sand ink on Whisper White. I love the Hardwood stamp for this because you can turn any color of cardstock into a wood-look crate! One piece of 8-1/2" x 11" cardstock will make 2 crates with very little waste.

Begin by laying the background stamp face up and ink it thoroughly.

Take a piece of 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" Whisper White cardstock and lay it on the stamp. Rub the entire surface of the cardstock firmly against the stamp and lift it straight up.

There it is - perfect wood texture! The Thick Whisper White cardstock holds its shape really well for this project. The framelit cuts and scores 1/2 of the crate, so you'll need to cut 2 and assemble them. Just fold on the scorelines and use Tear & Tape Adhesive on the tabs. This is the perfect adhesive for three dimensional projects like bags and boxes.

To decorate the front of the crate, I stamped "farmer's market" with Dapper Denim ink and die-cut it with the Stitched Shapes Framelits. The stars are also stamped using Dapper Denim, only on Sahara Sand cardstock. These are cut with framelits included in the bundle (there are also moon & heart framelits!) I attached the 2 stars to the circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and attached the entire piece to the front of the crate as one unit with the same glue.

My crate holds 4 Lindor Truffles - what will you put in yours?

If you need a larger card than the 3 x 3 note card to write your thoughts, you might want to make the card on the left instead. That would leave room in the crate for more truffles-always a good thing!! The beautiful floral spray on the card front was stamped twice before attaching the horizontal greeting piece.

I tucked my crate inside a clear 4" x 9" treat bag purchased at the local craft store in the candy making aisle and tied it with a piece of 5/8" burlap ribbon.
