A Ginger Snap! Masculine Birthday

From the time that I first looked at the stamp set Gorgeous Grunge, I wanted to use one of the images to make candles.

Birthday left

  • My card base is 4-1/4 x 11 Island Indigo cardstock, scored at 5-1/2
  • Tangelo Twist adds a pop of color in the next layer.

Birthday rt

  • Whisper White Cardstock provides a neutral palette for my candles.  I inked the Gorgeous Grunge stamp first with Island Indigo Ink & after stamping the image, I thoroughly cleaned the stamp before inking it with Tangelo Twist Ink.  This candle is stamped slightly lower and about 1/4" to the left of the first candle image.
  • The candle flames are the result of using a Crushed Curry Marker on the largest splat of the smallest stamp from the set.  The marker also was used to created the wick for the candle.

Birthday Straight

  • The sentiment is from Sassy Salutations & was inked with Memento Black Ink.
  • Black Baker's Twine is wrapped twice around the Whisper White layer & secured.  A shorter piece of the same Baker's Twine is threaded through a Crushed Curry Button from the Regal's Pack & then it is tied in a bow.

I am anxious to make this in a variety of colors in order to have some on hand for those "birthday emergencies".  With the appropriate color combo, I feel that this would work for just about anyone.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Hugs,

Ginger

A Ginger Snap! Fun With The Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlit!

When I first saw the Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlit at the Stampin' Up! Convention, I thought it was cute but I didn't really think that I would get it because I didn't think it would be very useful.  Well, let me tell you, I was so wrong!!  Think of all those small items that you need to gift package oe even some chocoalte or other small candies.

Frankenstein & Pumpkin

Some of these boxes are my creation and some of them I found on Pinterest.  They are all over the Internet so I don't know who to give credit to.

Apple & Pumpkin

 Whatever the Holiday, this Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlit Die can be used to create a fun 3-D gift package, decoaration, or placecard.

Penguin & Santa

I am showing some of the boxes that I created and I encourage you to share the boxes you have made with me.  I would love to see your creations.

Snowman

My snowman needs work because as he sits now, you cannot open him.  But, I will work on it so that his treats can be easily removed without destroying such a cute box.
