Pretty Packages

by ktstamps, 4:20 AM


I love giving gifts in pretty packages! It is definitely one of my trademarks. I love to present a gift to someone and watch their face light up when they see how pretty the packaging is! It’s like another gift in and of itself.


Christmas is the perfect time to create some pretty packages! I decided to go with a Whisper White, Very Vanilla, Basic Black, and Gold color combo. Yes—that’s right! Mix your whites and creams! You can achieve a layered look with your projects simply by using those two colors together.

The Takeout Boxes are darling! They are the perfect size for a small gift or box of yummy treats. I used the White Filter Paper to create a belly band around the box. I scrunched it up and sewed it down the middle to keep it gathered. I added some interest to my star die cut by using the Eclectic Paper-Piercing Pack to outline a few stars within the shape. This is an easy way to add detail.

I used the Gift Card Enclosure Pack to create a little box. This technique was demonstrated to us at convention. Simply brilliant!! You score at 1/2" from the original score line along three sides. Secure the flaps using Sticky Strip and add a belly band to help contain your goodies. I used the Festive Designer Kraft Paper Rolls for my belly band. I LOVE these paper rolls! The quality is excellent—much thicker than I thought they would be.

My last pretty package was created using the Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlits Die. This die creates the perfect little enclosure for a gift card. I used the Kraft Cardstock for my base and then I began creating a pretty belly band using the Typeset Specialty Designer Series Paper to keep it closed. The belly band simply slides on and off.

I love using the Kraft color as a base for my projects—especially for pretty packages!

Decorative Masks: Hearts

by ktstamps, 2:47 AM


Maybe you were a little intimidated when you first saw the Decorative Masks, but they are such a great way to spice up your cardstock. Just add a little ink or some embossing paste* to give your card a bit of texture—as I did with the card you see today.


Corporate Blog Post Inge Groot_crbSept2014CBI2

I cut a piece of Natural Cardstock and taped the Decorative Mask (hearts) on top. Then I took some embossing paste and gently applied it to the mask. (Use a palette knife or a piece of firm cardboard.) It doesn’t have to look perfectly covered—just do it how you like it. Then let it dry for an hour.


I used some leftover pieces from our lovely Moonlight Designer Series Paper and cut out banners using the Banners Framelits Dies. I punched out the tag using the Note Tag Punch and stamped a sentiment using the And Many More Stamp Set.


I punched the big heart using the Sweetheart Punch and added a heart paperclip from the Basic Hodgepodge Clips. To finish the card, I added some Basic Rhinestone Jewels and Frosted Sequins—for some bling!


Corporate Blog Post Inge Groot_crbSept2014CBI1

I always love to decorate the inside of a card. I added some of the same elements as I used on the front of the card, then made a scalloped border using the Scalloped Edge Punch.


So give it a try! I’m sure you’ll love working with the Decorative Masks!

Fancy Fold Friday - My Camera

by ktstamps, 1:43 PM

I went to a Stamp Camp and we made this fabulous camera.   So I wanted to make one for Friday but I didn't know how I wanted it to look.   One night we were watching TV and someone took a picture of a flower and a ghost showed up in the picture...that did it.   I came in my stamp room and made the card.   I loved my idea!   So here is my camera!

I loved how I made the "Ghost" say "BOO!"
