For this challenge we
had 33 professional designers that participated. Each of us received boxes of
product from these wonderful companies and we were asked to come up with some
great designs using the products found in our boxes. Now, let me start off by
saying that I have worked with Westcott
Brand® products for some time. I have the
Westcott Brand® Titanium Bonded 12” Rotary Trimmer and their Titanium Bonded Non Stick Scissors, which
I must say I think is the best paper cutter and scissors on the planet! Nothing
sticks to those scissors!! So, I knew already that working with ANY Westcott Brand® product was going to be
great, but my first thought with the other boxes was what the heck was I going
to create with some duct tape and VELCRO fasteners. Well, was I super surprised
when I opened the box and found all the great colors. I started to play with my
new tools and my brain just exploded with all the things I can do with these
products. Duct tape is not just for fixing up those leaky pipes anymore!
And now without further
delay, here is the project design I came up with using VELCRO® Fasteners, Duct
tape and of course I couldn’t create this project without the fabulous cutting
tools by Westcott Brand®. I titled the project “Hearts & Crowns Stationery
Set”. The wonderful stamps I used were sent to me by Stephanie Barnard from her “The
Stamps of Life” line. Thank you so much Stephanie! These stamps are great
and trust me you’re going to want a set of your very own. Check out all of
Stephanie’s stamps at www.thestampsoflife.com. She has
great stamps on her website and I want to purchase them all!!!
I hope you enjoy my design and make some of
your very own to share with friends and family. They make wonderful gifts and
best of all they’re easy to create. Who knew all the great things you could
create with some duct tape? Not me, that’s for sure!
Until next time…

Instructions
Cover box with pink duct
tape sheet. Cut out. Adhere dark blue card stock to inside of the box with Zip
Dry Paper Glue. Score along dotted lines, fold and adhere box edges with
glue. Use paper clips to hold in place
until dry.
Cut Zebra print duct
tape into strips and adhere to all sides of the box top. Cut a 10” strip of the Zebra print duct tape.
Fold in half. Cut two slits in the box top and slide the duct tape into the
slits creating a handle.
Layer the glitter paper
to the box front. On white card stock, stamp large crown in black ink. Next,
stamp small heart, small crown and squiggly line randomly around large crown
with Bubblegum, Sky and Grape inkpads.
Color images with color
pencils, using Gamsol Mineral Spirits to blend colors. Edge sides of paper with
Guava inkpad. Adhere white card stock to glitter papers on front of box. Glue
pink fibers around the box front. Adhere gems.
Stamp heart wands on
white card stock with black inkpad. Color with pencils and cut out. Apply 3-D
foam tape to the backs and adhere to box front. Adhere gems to heart wands.
For the cards- Cut card
stock as follows- Blue 4 ¾””W x 7”H. Fold in half. Green 4 ½”W x 3 ¼”H and
White 4”W x 2 ¾”H. Ink edges of blue card stock with Sky and green card stock
with Artichoke inkpads.
Stamp and color the
white card stock as you did with the front of the box, alternating the colors
on the small heart, crown & squiggly lines. Ink edges with Guava inkpad. Adhere layers to
blue card and add gem to the crown center. NOTE-
For the envelope, I made my own with an envelope template but you can buy small
envelopes in any office supply store.
For the pen- Cover pen
with Terrifically Tacky Tape, excluding the pen cover. Place blue micro beads
on a paper plate and roll the pen in the beads until it is fully covered with
beads. Add another stripe of tape to the bottom of the pen and cover with pink
micro beads. Wrap fibers around the top of the pen. Cut of strip of the VELCRO®
Hook and Loop Fasteners 3 ½” long. Make
a loop and staple to the side of the box. Slide pen into the VELCRO® loop.
