#1 Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Pootles – How To Make Your Own Patterned Cardstock for beautiful boxes
I love to create my own patterned paper for boxes and today I decided to go ‘tone on tone’ with some of my stamping and then bring in other matching colours, plus one ‘pow pop’ standout colour too.
Forever Greenery as a suite is all about the greens, but I like to be a little contrary sometimes, and as it happens, I’m not completely sure I’ve actually stamped this stamp set in green yet….
Anyway, I went pinks for my original box and then brought in yellows and an orange for the 2nd one that I filmed.
Which do you like the most?!?
And the box itself is rather lovely as a Pagoda Top style box, and really works well to showcase the stamping and the die cutting.
Have a great day everyone, and maybe you’ll be doing some random stamping too?

I’m not one to really like the yellows or oranges, but I think I like the So Saffron box better than the pink! I think it shows off the colors so much better. And, it’s getting close to autumn, so it’s a good color for boxes.
