STAMPIN FRIENDS JULY PERFECTLY PUNCHED BLOG HOP

Welcome to Stampin Friends Blog Hop. Each month we showcase themes that feature fun products or techniques. I hope you vist each month and enjoy our monthly blog hops as much as I do.  I love trying to think outside my norm when I create for the hop, I want to share with you something I don’t normally do. The theme for July is called perfectly punched. For this theme we feature using a punch on our Projects. Now you would think using a punch would not be anything too different or difficult. But when I started planning my design, I realized I really do not use punches that often anymore. I’ve shifted so much stuff to dies that the punches have been kind of sitting there almost forgotten to be used.
It’s hard to believe it’s almost the end July this year seems to be flying by for me. So, before I get started with my projects, I want to make sure you are visiting me from Jo Blackman’s blog. And if you didn't make sure to visit Jo's blog and everyone’s blog. You can find a list of hoppers at the end.

To make my projects I used the Stampin Up Lovely in Linen Suite Collection. This is a pretty suite with rustic floral designs on the paper, coordinating punch, embossing folder and includes an elegant everyday stamp sentiments.

I started with a cardbase in Sweet Sorbet card stock. Then added a 4x5 1/4 DSP layer, next I embossed Basic White layer 4 1/2x3 1/2, I used the Quatrefoil Tile embossing Folder. I used the Lasting label punch and punched out 4 pieces of DSP. Stamped the greeting and label stamp and punched it out. Finished it off with a Peak-a-boo Punch bow and a few Basic Pearls. Pretty and easy to put together.

I decorated the Delicate Details Treat Box similar to the card. By using the punch and decorating the front, I added subtle color without taking away from the detail of the box. And to make the box stand out a little more, I cut a piece of Sweet Sorbet down to fit inside that way the color will show through all the little cut outs! Super cute!  I added the bow using the same ribbon and also added some basic pearls. I think it's such a pretty box and the paper is very pretty too!

I hope you enjoyed the projects I have shared with you today!
