It boggles my mind that another year has flown by and it’s 2019! I’m excited, as I approach my 1st anniversary as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstator. What a year!

Thank you so much to my family and customers who have made this possible, and thanks to Jenn Petersen, who encouraged me to “go for it”.

This beautiful card was inspired by a card by Kathleen Wingerson, a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator in the US. She called it the “packing tape” technique, literally using packing tape, to apply the Dazzling Diamonds glitter (133751), to the window. I’m sure I’ll be leaving a trail of dimensional backs and glitter up the stairs when I head up for dinner lol. I layered gold DSP as my first matte, over the Basic Black card stock base, then cut a hole in the top matte (Very Vanilla – ) using the 2″ punch. To get the raised element around the edges, I scored 1/4″ from the edge on all four sides, using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool (122334). It’s a good idea to stamp your sentiment now. The sentiment, in Memento ink (132708) , is from the Snow is Glistening stamp set (149742). I laid a piece of packing tape over the hole, from the back side of the card stock, sticky side up to the front (good side) of the card stock. Then, I sprinkled the Dazzling Diamonds over the sticky tape, burnished it in with my finger, then shook off the excess. On a piece of 3×3″ Very Vanilla card stock, I used the Sheet Music stamp (143970), to create, you guessed it, the sheet music, using Early Espresso ink (126974). I applied snail adhesive to the right side of the music paper, and placed it behind the glittery window. Before I layered the top matte, I placed a small bow and ribbon “hanger”, then attached the top layer to the gold DSP with Dimensionals. On the inside, I glued in a piece of Very Vanilla card stock as a liner, for your personal message.

This cute little treat box was my contribution to our “roommie gifts”, when I was at the OnStage, in Orlando last month.
