Home is where you park it!

You really have to get your hands on a copy of the 2016 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue. If you live in Australia contact me if you would like one. There are so many beautiful products in there that you can order from September the 1st. As a bonus lots of the products can be used for lots of different occasions. Always helps when justifying a purchase I think!

One of my favourite products is a stamp set called Glamper Greetings (142202). The stamps are photopolymer which makes it super easy to create scenes. This set has you covered for birthdays, Christmas, Halloween and much much more. Today I have made another shadow box card (you might have seen my hydrangea one last week). This is for someone taking off on a great adventure on the open road. This little shadow box will be easy to transport and will add a homey touch to the 'glamper'!


I have been itching to ink up this set so what better way than for a challenge or 2!!!

This shadow box is made from a piece of A4 cardstock scored at 1/2" increments. I know I usually use metric but the 1/2" measurement works really well. Making them is so easy and the best video to watch is by Jan Brown. She has some great tips for constructing this card so that you get perfect corners all meeting. Pay particular attention to her tips on folding and adhering the sides and using tape backing under the mitre section. I completely forgot to do this in my first attempt and my lovely husband marked my mitred corners at 7/10. Rude!

I just started stamping on watercolour paper and then used an aqua painter and ink from the lid of my inkpads in the challenge colours. It is a simple design - wait until you see my Christmas version next week!


I've added a card to the back which forms a stand and has a place to write well wishes.


I've kept the inside simple.... lots of space for a message.


The scene in the frame is raised on foam adhesive strips.


Because I was limited to 3 colours I have used different strengths of each colour. To make the lights and door window look glass-like, I have added a coat of glue from a Fine Tip Glue Pen.


It dries in no time and is perfect for this bunting as well.


Don't forget to contact me if you would like a copy of this catalogue.
