We're at the half-way point of the Display Stamper Blog Hop – Day #4. Today I'm sharing a couple of my favorite projects using the Cake Soiree stamp set and Silver Mini Gable Box, from the upcoming 2018 Occasions Catalog (starts Jan 3).

DOstamping On Stage Nov 2017 Display Stamper Blog Hop

First off – I was happy to see these adorable Mini Silver Gable Boxes for my assignment. I didn't want to just add some DSP and a tag. I wanted to do something unexpected. I thought, "What if I silver embossed on the boxes…how would that look?" Oh my gosh…it looked awesome! See for yourself…

Even though these were hard to photograph, I think you get the idea on how beautiful these projects turned out. Here's my thoughts on the Silver Mini Gable Boxes:

They come flat and easy to put fold up.
The greeting and floral image are from the new Cake Soriee stamp set
As you can see, the embossing turned out wonderfully…give it a try! (I used Versamark and Silver Stampin' Emboss Powder)
For embossing – be sure to use the embossing buddy first.
These would be great for gift packaging, treats boxes at a wedding/shower, even centerpieces.
You might be wondering about the beautiful rich looking ribbon…that's new too. It's Berry Burst 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon and I'm in love!!

With the box done, I had to make a matching card. This photo does not do it justice – it's gorgeous in real life! The silver embossing is done on Silver Foil Sheets and Berry Burst cardstock (Layering Oval Framelits for the window). The new Berry Burst 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon adds the finishing touch
