Easter Favour - Carrot Box

Carrot-Box Feature   
Here is a neat stamping idea for you courtesy of our demonstrator website.  When you become a demonstrator you too will get access to the Stampin' Up! template library!  When you purchase the kit  before April 30th - you can pay in 3 easy payments.

This little carrot box is one of my all-time favourites!  The best way to complete this project is to print the pattern right onto Only Orange or Pumpkin Pie cardstock.  Some computer printers will accomodate our Stampin' Up! cardstock and others will not.  The only way to find out is to try and hope you don't get a paper jam.  If your printer won't accept the cardstock you can transfer the image with carbon paper.

Download Carrot-Box

Once you have the pattern traced you can use the Bleaching Technique to stamp a small image randomly all over the carrot template.  Assemble along the lines shown  on the template and adhere with Sticky Strip.  Finish with a length of grosgrain ribbon in orange or green.

Bleaching Technique

  • Create a bleach stamp pad by folding a few paper towel and place them in a flat-bottomed disposable plastic container or a container you'll save for this
    technique.
  • Pour a small amount of bleach onto the paper towel.  enough to moisten the paper towel but not saturate.  Clorox bleach works well.
  • Tap a clean stamp onto the bleached surface and then dirtectly onto your cardstock.
  • Repeat this step until finished.  immediately use your Stampin' Mist cleaner to thoroughly clean your stamp and neutralize the bleach. 

Tips for the Bleaching Technique

  • Only fresh bleach works.  If the bleach stamp pad is left open to the air the bleach will not be effective.
  • Test a small area of your selected cardstock to see what colour it will turn out to be when bleached.  If you're making many of the same project, use cardstock all from the same package.  Cardstock is like fabric or wallpaper.  They come froma certain dye lot and two different packages may not give the same result.
  • Use this technique in a well-ventilated area or away from young children.
