Hello Spring!

This is a wonderful article by one of the concept artists at Stampin Up! I think you will enjoy it.

I love spring—the colors are refreshing and fun. To celebrate seasonal occasions, I love to make little packages of treats to share.

The patterns in the Endless Birthday Wishes kit are scrumptious! They remind me of rainbow sherbet or salt water taffy. I wanted to make a small, simple treat box using the papers.

I started with the box template from the Mini Projects Boxes, then I layered the box #1 stamp brush over the DSP. I recolored the stamp to Smoky Slate to keep it light, so it wasn't visible on the outside of the box.

The Stampin’ Trimmer was a handy tool in trimming the straight cuts on my box and then I used the scoring blade for the folds. I finished off the other cuts with my snips.

I also wanted some fun, custom embellishments for my treat boxes, so I used an e-cutter to cut a small “hello” from Silver Glimmer paper. The “hello” comes from Dropping You a Line download. I cut the vine using an e-cutter and Pear Pizzazz Cardstock. The leafy vine image is from the Summer Happiness download. The vine pieces were quite delicate, so I had to carefully remove them from the cutting mat and pieced them together onto my box. I tied the Baker’s Twine over the top to help keep them in place.

I love using My Digital Studio to create fun and one-of-a-kind projects. The possibilities are endless.
