I know…I know – I am off my usual schedule but I think that you will enjoy this post! I decided to do this as this great die is on the weekly deal list and today is the last day for you to take advantage of getting it at a 25% discount! That in itself deserves a WOOT-WOOT!
I have used this die before and I must say when it came out, I totally passed it by as I am not a "French Fry" gal but once I saw others use it – I knew that I needed it as it is a keeper (yes, it is being carried over). Today I am using it to send to Hannah as she is beginning her final exams and wanted to send her something special.
Using the same stamp set I have used the past 2 day, Oh My Goodness….I think you can easily see that it is a keeper! It's going to be around so why not get it as you can see – it is super cute!
I know that many of us are intimated by 3-D projects and I encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and give them a try! I was always a "Card Gal" but once I started to use the Big Shot to the Max and try the dies…I was so happy!
Here are some pictures that will show you the progression of the fun "treat for Hannah". The start for me is using the Vanilla Coaster Board – I adore this with 3 -D's as I feel it makes it super sturdy!
When I was putting my thinking cap on…I thought – what could I send Hannah that would make her smile, be fun, practical and let her know that John and I are thinking of her! These little chocolates are new mini chocolates (that I know she'll love) but she will REALLY love the gift card to her favorite Sushi Restaurant!
I followed the same scoop I did over Saturday and Sundays post with the embossing folder and the 3/4" punch etc…so you can see that this works too with a die like this! Just let the "green glue" set up before you trim off the edges where the die folds…..(so darn cute!)
The sentiments in this stamp set are so fun! I adore this one and I used stampin' dimensionals to lift it up! ( I think I am partial because of the Polka Dots)
The little hearts do make it – again, a great example of how our punches make our project go to a fast WOW with a punch!
I think that you can understand why I changes up our regular schedule! I really wanted to share with you how you can maximize a stamp set in totally different way and at the same time create a wow!
We are soooo lucky that Stampin' Up! offers these weekly deals and I hope that you see the value in getting this at a discount – remember, today is the last day and you know what tomorrow is….a new group of offerings!
Thanks for popping by, please feel free to leave me a comment or email me! Let's all have a great week!
Truly adorable and Hannah is a lucky gal to be receiving these sweet and thoughtful gifts made from the heart. Good luck on exams, Hannah!
Great gift/card combo!
Very, very nice! Polka dots are such a happy sight and I am sure this will put a smile on Hannah’s face. Good luck to her on the exams.
Fun! I’m sure Hannah will appreciate the treat while studying!
I can’t remember if I ordered the fry box die or not. I guess it is staying around, right? So I still have time to go through my boxes, whenever that happens, and see what I have.
Cyberhugs!
Oh my goodness for the “Oh my goodies” fry treat box! This is a super stepped version for your card! I love this presentation! I am not a fry type of person either but always thought if the little box wasn’t so greasy at McDonald’s it would make a fun holder for something! I just never took the time to make a template from one. I just love the way the tiny polka dots go with the big polka dots that you made. It sure made me smile! What could be better, polka dots in one of my favorite color combos and chocolate and for Hannah the gift card. Since the red sticky strip was on the discontinued list did they come out with something similar or just another size roll? Love the little hearts from the owl punch on here and the card.
I can see this little box holding an ornament for Christmas and done in Christmasy colors. Or, filled with gilt coins and done in blue and silver for our Jewish friends! Oh my goodies indeed!
Cute fry box and matching card! She will love it!
A very nice presentation and I really do like the green/navy combination.
perfect coordination between gift and card. a fun and happy project. love your blog and inspiration!
Thank you! I just wanted to show everyone how you can make things coordinate together – I thought it was super fun and I must say I never thought I would use that french fry box as much as I do. I love the fact that they stand up and dont fall down. Many thanks for popping by today
