News and Boxes
I needed a box to house a gift for an up-coming 60th Birthday so today I've been having fun decorating the kraft pillow boxes that came out on a recent Concord and 9th release. As with all their products, they're great quality, add a little decoration and they're good to go! I'll give you a sneaky-peek of the 60th one later, but first off, here are a couple more I played around with to test some techniques.
As I said, they are really good quality pillow boxes so very thick kraft card, so I wanted to see if I could foil onto them using the new opposites attract foiling dies from The Greetery. I went with a simple "thank you" for this, foiled in navy using my Glimmer machine and it came out really well foiled. These would be easy to knock out a batch for party or wedding faours - the touch of foil looks pretty classy on the kraft (brown paper is very much on trend for gift wrap!). The WRMK foil rolls are massive so if you are doing wedding stationary, one goes a very long way!
For the second one I used the 2022 dies which arrived a little late for new year cards, but I love the star bursts at the top and bottom which have year round use. I die cut the die from rose gold glitter card and then trimmed off the star bursts and popped those behind a die cut happy with the happy shadow in navy. A Heat embossed sentiment on more navy and the stars and dots from the die cuts to fill in the rest of the box finish it off.
For the 60th box, I die cut several curved streamers from the Twisted Crepe Die from The Greetery from rainbow paper, kriss-crossing them over the front of the box. I added sparkly black sixty using the Bold Alphabet die also from The Greetery and finished with a big red bow using the new Perfect Present Die from MFT stamps.
You could stamp on the boxes too - I've done a quick tongue in cheek one - fill the box with chocolates for the recipient and you're good to go! I used All Kinds of Happy from The Greetery stamped and embossed in white and black, paired with Sassy Pants Love from MFT Stamps.
NEWS FROM THE STORE
We have quite a lot of brands "in transit" at the minute but many were held up last week due to the bad snow in New York where most of DHLs parcels are processed before flying to Heathrow so at the moment we don't have ETA's. We hope to have updated info on Monday.
-
Altenew - the last "few" releases shipped last week but as yet have not made it onto a plane.
-
Avery Elle's upcoming release has been on hold in New York for 3 days - were hoping it made it onto a plane this weekend too.
-
MFT's upcoming release was shipped on Friday - fingers crossed it will be here on time fore release.
-
Waffle Flower's release was delayed due to staffing issues but finally shipped on Friday - again stuck in New York but hopefully will be here this week.
-
The January release from Colorado Craft Company was pushed back into February for various reasons - we're hoping that will ship this week too.
We have orders in for Mama Elephant, Concord and 9th and Lawn Fawn, all due around the 15th - 24th February so watch this space for updates.
We are hoping to get some new foils in store too so magpies, keep an eye out!
Catch you later
