Convention is a great place to get ideas on how to "think outside the box" - literally in this case! This seven-sided box is made from the Mini Milk Carton Bigz L Die! Mine is made with Not Quite Navy cardstock, Well Worn DSP, Tasteful Trim Bigz XL Die, Autumn Splendor stamp set, Cajun Craze, Soft Suede, and Early Espresso cardstock and dye ink pads, 1/8" Early Espresso Taffeta Ribbon, and Stampin' Dimensionals.



Then we all made a card using a technique that's been around for quite awhile, but one that I haven't done for a few years. It's called "Poppin' Pastels". We took the Sweet Floral stamp and inked it up with VersaMark ink, then stamped it onto Very Vanilla cardstock. We took our Stampin' Pastels and Sponge Daubers and pounced the color on top of the stamped image, using about three colors of pinks to get some of the graduated shading seen, and a couple of shades of green. That makes it look more realistic with variations in the colors.



I'll be back soon to show you the other card we made on Monday night. Until then...
