Are
you ready to play
this week's Pals
Paper Arts Memorial Day Inspired Challenge (PPA43)? Grab your red, white and blue (or experiment, too) and join
in
the challenge using any
brand of stamping supplies you wish.
Check out
the PPA Design Team's Memorial Day Inspired Samples.
- This sweet and sturdy Gable Box doesn't require a die-cutting machine. Check out Beate's Video Tutorial to learn how easy it is to make and assemble.
- The box begins with a 8.5" x 11" sheet of card stock (I used Night of Navy). Finished it measures approx. 3" x 2 1/4" x 6 1/4".
- The July Fourth stamp set I used (Summer Mini Catalog), was spot-on for Memorial Day and would be delightful for a spirited birthday card, too!
- The Silver Jumbo Brad adds the perfect polish. The "legs" are wrapped
around the top layer of the knot. - The layered stripes on the 3 x 3 mini card were inspired by a sample on p. 67 of the Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog. Get out your scraps!
