Timeless Elegance Series - Simple Pillow Box Gift Boxes & Series Photo Collage
Wednesday, 23 September 2015
In the last 2 weeks I've showcased 7 different projects featuring the beautiful Timeless Elegance Designer Series Paper - the series has included a Stationery Tin, Thank You Card, Gift Bags, Wedding Card, Bag in a Box, Congratulations Card and to complete the series today we have a set of Pillow Boxes.
In the Autumn Winter catalogue there is a brand new die called the Square Pillow Box Thinlits Dies. You just run it through your big shot with some designer series paper and using your scoring tool and some adhesive, you have a gift box that's perfect to hold some chocolates, jewellery or even a gift card.
I've kept the design quite simple and stamped a tag using the Merry Everything stamp set onto Very Vanilla cardstock in Basic Black Archival Ink. I have used the coordinating Note Tag punch to punch it out and added it to the Pillow Box with some Stampin' Dimensionals.
You can buy the Merry Everything stamp set and Note Tag Punch in a bundle where you save 15%. For £26.25 plus P&P you get 5 stamps that can be used for Birthdays, Christmas & Halloween. This set is useful to make tags in super quick time, perfect when making multiple tags for Christmas presents.
To finish off the design, continuing with the simple theme, I added a small star / small heart punched out of Gold Glimmer paper using the Itty Bitty Accents punches. I think its just what it needed without being too fussy.
I really hope you've enjoyed my series featuring the gorgeous Timeless Elegance Designer Series Paper. This paper is so elegant and it can be dressed up or down to suit your project.
You can order a pack of the Timeless Elegance Designer Series Paper from my online shop today for just £10.00 plus P&P. Just click on the picture below in the supplies list.

Timeless Elegance Series - She believed she could so she did Congratulations card
Monday, 21 September 2015
I really like this card and compared to the other projects in the series, the overall look feels so much warmer having teamed the Timeless Elegance designer series paper with Lost Lagoon cardstock and Gold Satin Ribbon. I love how papers or stamp sets can look so different by simply just changing colours.
I used the stamp set Feel Goods for the sentiment and I sponged Sahara Sand ink around the edges of all of the layers to give the card an aged feel.
I did intend to tie a bow but that really didn't got to plan. I cut the ribbon too short and as it was stuck down, I couldn't change it. So instead of a bow I tied a knot and I actually quite like it. Sometimes mistakes are meant to happen, don't you think?
There is just one project left in my Timeless Elegance Series, I'll be back on Wednesday with a set of pillow boxes that are really simple to make. See you then.
If you are a regular on Pinterest or follow a lot of crafty blogs, its more than likely you would have seen this fabulous Bag in a Box. Different versions spread like wildfire across the internet and I was soon inspired to make my own version by just changing the colours and designer series papers.
To work out how to make this clever design, I watched demonstrator Crafty Hallets YouTube tutorial and followed it step by step. You can click here to watch the tutorial and you can click here to visit Caroline's website to see her original design.
I hope you like my version of the Bag in a Box. There's only 2 more projects left in this series so do come back on Monday to see the Congratulations card I've made using the Feel Goods stamp set. Have a great weekend!
Timeless Elegance Series - Congratulations to the Bride & Groom Wedding Card
Wednesday, 16 September 2015
Today's Wedding card showcases the beautiful lace effect paper from the Timeless Elegance Designer Series Paper and the stamp set For The New Two that can be found in the Annual Catalogue.
I gave the card a Sahara Sand Base and a Basic Black Layer. I then hand stamped the sentiment Congratulations to the Bride and Groom onto a piece of patterned paper (also included in the Timeless Elegance DSP pack) and die cut this into an oval shape with one of the Ovals Collection Framelit Dies. To introduce texture into the design I added some of the lovely Sahara Sand Lace Trim in front of the lace effect paper and behind the sentiment and tied a small bow.
I hope you've enjoyed the fourth project in my Timeless Elegance Series, please leave a comment to let me know you stopped by.
Saturdays project is the amazing bag in a box created by fellow Pinkie Caroline Hallett aka Crafty Hallet. See you then!
Just a short blog post from me today, I've had a really busy weekend visiting family and have clocked up 400 miles in less than 24 hours. Tiredness has just hit me so please enjoy the pictures and I'll be back on Wednesday with another project.
For today's project I made two gifts bags using some different patterns out of the Timeless Elegance DSP. I added a glittery banner using Glimmer Paper and the Banner Tripple punch. I then took some wooden sentiments (they are called Expressions Natural Elements) and used Versamark Ink, Embossing Powder and my heat gun to add a lovely shiny embossed colour to the embellishment. To finish it off I punched a hole through the top and then used some of the lovely Satin Ribbon and Linen Thread to secure the bag.
Timeless Elegance Series - Simple Thank You Card with a Melon Mambo Wow!
Saturday, 12 September 2015
Continuing with the Timeless Elegance series, I have a simple but effective thank you card to show you today. I think it's really easy to get stuck in a rut and match your cardstock to the paper and stay with the colour range but its also fun to add a bright colour for some extra wow!
Don't ever feel afraid to keep your design simple. I've kept this design uncomplicated with a Basic Black card base, a Melon Mambo matt and a layer of Timeless Elegance Designer Series Paper. All I've added is some Basic Black Stitched Satin Ribbon as I felt adding anything else would not show off this beautiful paper.
To finish the card, I hand stamped Thanks in the bottom left hand corner using the Cottage Greetings stamp set. I love the font used in this stamp set and although its looks quite subtle stamped directly onto the patterned paper, I am okay with it and very thankful that I managed to stamp it straight having added it after I had adhered my layers down - rookie error!!
I hope you are enjoying the series so far. Thanks for stopping by, come back on Monday to look at two elegant gift bags I've made using different patterned paper from the Timeless Elegance Designer Series Paper
So here it is,
my brand new shiny series
showcasing the gorgeous Timeless Elegance Designer Series Paper from Stampin'
Up!. I have 7 different projects for you over the next 2 weeks and I really
hope you enjoy them.
I LOVE this paper and I can honestly say that its the first paper that I've ever used up the entire pack . I normally hoard paper I love, I just can't seem to use it. It's like I am saving it all for a rainy day. Well this time I decided just to cut into it straight away. And since I decided that, I just kept using it and using it in my projects.
With all of my finished projects, I put them in my basket ready for photographing. Seeing them together made me realise that I had an opportunity to do another series.... so I added a few more projects so I had 7 in total - a few didn't make the cut but hey ho, we all know that when crafting things don't always look the way we envisaged them to. Some of the projects have been finished for a little while now and to be honest its been killing me having to patiently wait to show them to you.
I am really excited to show you today this gorgeous stationery tin I've made. Isn't it just fabulous?
Now I can't take credit for this gorgeous design, my upline Michelle Last created this as a project for our craft weekend in Birmingham way back in April. I've just taken Michelle's design and changed the colours to work with the Timeless Elegance Designer Series Paper. Click here to see Michelle's design.
I love Michelle's version and still have my pink tin in my craft room along with the yellow version we also made. Even though they would make great gifts, I just can't seem to be able to part with them - and I am glad as they gave me the inspiration to make this tin.
You can buy these tins from Tinware Direct. I think its amazing how you can transform a metal tin with some beautfiul paper and a few accessories. I've used Black Glimmer Paper for the Banner & Flower and Basic Black Cardstock & Vellum Cardstock for the butterfly.
Still to come over the next two weeks I have a thank you card, a set of gift bags, a wedding card, the famous bag in a box, a congratulations card and to finish a pair of pillow boxes. Come back on Mondays, Wednesdays & Saturdays to see these projects or subscribe to by blog by clicking here.
