Tiny Triangle box
I recently got some Flourishes stamps. I try really hard to just use Stampin’ Up! stamps, being a demo and upline and all, but it is getting harder and harder not to branch out. Especially with gorgeous stamps from Flourishes, LLC.
The triangle box is made from a 2 1/2″ x 5″ piece of Kraft cardstock. I stamped Flourishes Damask background stamp with White Craft ink over it.
The box is pretty small. I fit one of these little Dove Chocolate pieces in it. I tied it shut with Red Taffeta ribbon.
The Ornament was stamped with Encore Gold ink and embossed with Gold embossing powder on Shimmery White cardstock. I colored it with Riding Hood Red ink and Aqua Painter, cut it out and tied gold elastic cord around the top. I stamped Joy with Encore Gold on a 5/8″ wide strip of Shimmery White cardstock and embossed it in Gold embossing powder as well. I punched the right edge with my 3/4″ square punch and sponged the edges with Riding Hood Red ink. I taped the sentiment strip down and adhered the ornament over it with dimensionals.

Ah! I hear ya on the SU! dilemma… I’m trying to keep my clients and downline focused on all the amazing stuff we can do with our products while still wanting to share what I’m working on and using all ofthe stuff I bought pre-demo life and that I don’t want to get rid of…
You turned the triangle box into a little gem! The version I had done at my open house was so plain compared to yours! Makes me want to give this technique another go!
TFS!

How how adorable! I’m going to have to try this triangle box! Resisting all that “contraband” is tough, isn’t it? LOL

These are so gorgeous. I’m going to give this a try later today - although mine never seem to turn out quite so nice!

Gorgeous Beate!!! Love the gold embossing!
It’s hard to resist the other stamp companies…especially with me having all I want from this catty already! LOL! Guess I should have spread my purchases out maybe? haha!
