Good morning! I'm super excited today to be joining a fun blog hop featuring a another project using some new dies that Simon Says Stamp just released to coordinate with previously released Tim Holtz stamp sets! There are so many fun techniques that are possible when you add coordinating dies! I shared a a card yesterday that uses another set in this release - if you're interested, you can check it out out HERE!
I don't create a lot of non-card projects, but I've slowly been stretching myself out of my comfort zone, and some of these sets just seemed to lend themselves so well to that. So I grabbed The Inspector stamp and newly coordinating die to play with! This project could be used as desk decor or a gift for someone special who needs some encouragement!
I started off by stamping the images from The Inspector stamp set, using Cappuccino ink for the inspector, and Honey ink for the light bulbs. I then stamped the portions with the smaller dies in black ink, and die cut everything before layering them together. To create the box, I used some Tim Holtz Clear Tiny Lights, tucked inside a Tim Holtz Vignette Box. I used some liquid glue to adhere acetate over the front of the box, and ran the cord for the lights out of the top and around to the back, so that the controls to turn the lights on and off are taped on the reverse of the project. I then adhered all the images to the acetate with liquid glue, and added a Label Sticker sentiment that I added on one of the dies from the set (I did some partial die cutting to make it the correct length). I also added some Pinkfresh Wooden stars to embellish, and added Glossy Accents to the centers of the glasses, and Nuvo glitter drops to portions of the light bulbs to make them sparkle a bit. Here is a closer look at the finished project!
Here is the entire blog hop list - hop along for tons of amazing inspiration!
