Stamp Review Crew: Chalk Talk Edition

Hello friends! It's time for a brand new Stamp Review Crew blog hop! The crew is sharing ideas for the Chalk Talk stamp set and I am confident most of us are using the coordinating Framelits as well! Have to love all the bundles that Stampin' Up! makes available and this one is definitely a favorite of mine.

Two ideas for you today...a card and a DIY gift box! And these projects are all about the pink and gold and the dots. After I completed and photographed these projects, I realized I used the same color scheme for the last edition of the Stamp Review Crew. Promise -- I often feature other colors in my projects!

Created using Strawberry Slush and Pink Pirouette, the card uses the "a little something for a very special someone" sentiment from the Chalk Talk stamp set. I love the coordinating Framelit and how you can simply slide this tag shape right over a piece of ribbon. What do you think of the embossed gold foil sheet? I'm loving it and am truly hooked on this Decorative Dots embossing folder. Who has this on their list for Sale-a-bration?

As you noticed in the bottom image above, the top edge of the card insert was also embossed and a thin strip of gold foil added. These little touches and something special to this card inside and out!

The Tag a Bag boxes are another favorite of mine. They are great size for gifts and favors and are so easy to assemble! Decorating them is fun and easy. You can add little or lots to achieve the look you want. This uses two additional stamps from the Chalk Talk stamp set along with more gold foil and the striped Washi Tape from the Watercolor Wonder Washi Tape set. This next image captures the Washi Tape so well that I just could not help but share it with you:

The "tag" pieces were popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals and the side image does a great job of highlighting that as well.
