The 100 Day Project 2026 - Day 40

Today, is Day 40 of the 100 Day Project 2026.  A challenge where you spend a short time each day creating, using the mediums of your choice.  Mine is 4x4" card, using collage, stamps and stencils.

For my Day 40, I used an off-cut of Lavinia Stamps patterned paper for the base.  Sticking bits of Dina Wakley and Tim Holtz "idea-ology" collage paper on top.  I then used Versafine Clair "Arctic Blue" ink through the Funky Fossil Designs "Dotty Circles background stencil.

I splattered white acrylic paint from a fan shaped paintbrush, across the surface, then inked the edges using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  Finally adding a couple of Tim Holtz "idea-ology" word stickers to the middle saying "Sentimental Flight".

Sizzix / Tim Holtz Vault Pillow Box Thinlit Set (666568)

Today, I've been playing with the Sizzix / Tim Holtz Vault Pillow Box Thinlit die set, making this gift pouch.

I used an off cut from a Lavinia Stamps patterned paper pad to make the pillow box.  Cutting two pieces, and using double sided sticky tape to secure the two pieces together.  The ends are kind of scored in the cutting process so fold over easily.

I tied a piece of organza ribbon round the pillow, with a die cut label saying "With Love", stamped in Versafine Clair "Twilight" dark blue ink.  The "With Love" stamp is part of a Lavinia Stamps set called "Heartfelt sentiments".

In my head I am thinking these little pillows will be really handy come halloween or even making 24 as an alternative advent calendar.
