Finally!

I had to keep this a secret for a while, heehee. I’m a new DT for Paper Works Co. It is an online stamp/craft supply store based in Canada. Peggy runs the store, and I am so honored that she let me be a part of her team. I used to see Peggy’s posts on SplitCoastStampers and thought how awesome it would be a DT for PWCO! Thank you, Peggy!!!

This is a Flower Stall Card Box. I’ll release the template this Thursday at AfterFiveDesigns. =)

It holds 5.5 x 4.25 inch cards with envelopes.

Stamp: Gone Fishing stamp by Rachelle Anne Miller
Papers: Lime Rickey by BasicGrey
Coloring: Copic Markers
Brad: Stick With It, Sugar Cookie Paper Brad, and glitter

Remember my awesome friend, Sheena sent me PWCO stamps? Well, Peggy also sent me lots of stamps and I ended up with two of these stamps. So, I’d like to give the extra to my blog friends! =)

And this Puddles of Fun stamp by Rachelle A Miller is from me to one of my blog reader.

Please, visit Paper Works Co. and Sheena‘s blogs, leave them some love~~~!!!

This Thursday (June 6, 2010), I’ll randomly pick ONE person from this post’s comments, and give away…

1 Rocko Tinheart stamp
1 Sammy the Snake stamp
1 Puddles of Fun stamp by Rachelle A Miller
1 Flower Stall Card Box Template (download file) by me!

Thank you~!!!

Hi!

I made a piercing tool, needle, sanding block holder with Bumper Car template.

Modified the width on the chair template to fit the sanding block.

Using the modified chair, drew the box on the car body template.

Score and cut.

Double sided adhesive on the bottom of the chair to attach to the car.

Lily from Pink Cat Studio. I bought Lily and Billy stamp sets from 7 Kids College Fund last September. And, I finally got to play with the stamps, heehee.

I’m a big procrastinator! I meant to post this 8 months ago, heeheehee. I ordered 5 sheets of THIN EZ Mounts, and 7 Kids College Fund sent me the THICK mounting foams instead. I used to like the thick ones when I first started to stamp. But, I much prefer the thin ones now. Tab from 7 Kids sent me the replacement and let me keep the thick mounts. I told her I would give it away on my blog.

So…

I will send these THICK EZ Mounting Foams to first TWO people to leave comments here.

1st person – I’ll send 3 EZ Mounts (US and Canada ONLY, please! =)

2nd person – I’ll send 2 EZ Mounts

Thanks Jessica and Corinne!

Oh my goodness~~~!!! Today is the day! I’ve opened my shop! At After Five Designs!

A5D had a designer call back in March-April. I casually asked them if they would be interested in having a hybrid template designer, and they said yes. Not even seeing much of my template designs, they took me in. At After Five Designs!!! Can you believe it! I’ve always admired all the designers there, and I am very thankful to be among them! Many many thanks to Kristen and Amy for taking a big chance on me!

I used The Bright Night digital kit by Jofia Designs for my A5D Mixologists (designer) tag. Photo was taken by my 5.5 yr. son with a point-and-shoot camera. And a lot of blurring/editing on my face in Photoshop, heehee.

.

Feel free to grab my non-blinking blinkie and post it on your blog! Heeheehee.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT!!!

Eeeeeeeek~~~!!! Is this for real?!!!?!!! Do you see my name on this gorgeous product preview?!!! Eeeek~!!!! I collaborated with Danielle Young and created this template. It’s a wine box. I was inspired by cocktail glass elements from Danielle’s here’s to you page kit. She is an amazing designer. Look at how she made my templates and samples look good. I almost cried when I looked at this preview. THANK YOU DANIELLE!

You can put 8 Hershey’s Nuggets inside.

I’ve been having so much fun playing with Kelleigh‘s templates, I wanted to create hybrid templates, too. THANK YOU KELLEIGH for all your support!

Gosh~ I wish I’m more articulate than this. It sucks when I can’t express my gratitude well.

.

.

Here I used digital elements from Danielle’s Here’s To You Page Kit to decorate the box.

Heehee. You can even put chocolate liqueurs inside.

.

Sometimes, I like to think outside the box. And, I decided to make a freight truck with the wine box template. =)

Print one template for the truck head. Score. Cut it into three pieces as shown. Left and Right pieces are 1.25″ wide.

Combining outer two pieces together. Joining at the matching sides in the middle.

Fold the sides.

Glue two trapezoid shapes together to create the L shape.

Cut out the excess. I used an x-acto knife. =)

Tuck it in the box. Oops~ Do you see the cut line on top? I accidentally cut it short and had to glue/tape it back on, heehee.

Added a folded piece of paper to make a chimney. I ended up gluing the gaps (on top) together, so it won’t look too puffy.

Flip unused panels/taps under the truck head.

Cut the sides off. Add adhesive (foam dots).

Attach the wine box on top. Add the wheels. I used the button elements from Here’s To You Kit.

You can purchase the Here’s To You Wine Box Template Set at Oscraps.com. =)

Leave a comment here, and I’ll RANDOMLY pick ONE person and giveaway my template set.
(It’s downloadable PDF and JPG files. No physical products.)
