I have also created a gingerbread man Christmas card to coordinate with their gift boxes using Stampin' Up!'s Gingerbread Man Bundle.

I had such fun designing something different for each box

 Hello and welcome to the Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. Today we have been set a colour challenge. The challenge being Monochrome - Any Occasion.

I have chosen to go with my favourite colour Blue and of course Stampin' Up! made it easy with the beautiful Peaceful Garden Suite Collection.



This suite takes the guesswork out of coordination. 



I have decorated an empty Stampin' Up! kit box added cards, a shaker frame ornament and 2026 diary to create a gift box for someone special.



A pretty pen from our local House to Home shop coordinated beautifully with my set.

Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges #204|Christmas


Hello and welcome to another Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. This week we have a theme challenge for you simply 'Christmas'. Christmas my favourite time of the year and it is just about upon us.



For my submission this week I have used the beautiful Designer Series Papers from the Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection. This suite comes with two coordinating die sets  and two coordinating stamp sets.




 I love to buy Stampin' Up's kits but I hate to throw away the sturdy brown boxes the kits come in. I have a huge collection so I set about designing a kit to fit the boxes, incorporating cards made with the Traditions of Christmas DSP. This was a project for the ladies who attended my Stamp Club this month. A lovely gift for someone special.



To make the boxes I turned the boxes inside out then decorated them to cover the labelling on the boxes.



I then measured the inside of the box and made dividers for the inside with Crumb Cake Cardstock, so the cards wouldn't move around in the box.
Following are some of the cards I included in the class.







 






Where there weren't matching dies I fussy cut the images.
