The theme this month was 'new in-colours'.
I just love our new 2020-2022 in-colours which are: Bumblebee; Misty Moonlight; Cinnamon Cider; Just Jade and Magenta Madness.
My personal favourite of those is Magenta Madness but I love them all.
For those who don't know, each year Stampin' Up! introduce five new in-colours which then run for two years. So every year we have ten in total with an overlap of a year before one lot retire and new ones arrive.
Here are the colours:
My project for the hop was a set of five nesting boxes. I used in-colours for the box bases and introduced new DSPs for each lid, all from the new August-December mini catalogue; so there are a few sneak peaks between the DSPs and the stamp set I used for the sentiments.
All boxes were 2" deep (5cm) and all bases were scored at 2" (5cm). The lids are reinforced and were all scored at 3/4" and 2" (1.9cm and 5cm).
** All centimetre measurements are worked out to the closest available **
Here are the measurements for each box, starting with the smallest:
Please note - ALL bases are scored at 2" (5cm) on all sides and the lids are all scored at 3/4" and 2" (1.9cm and 5cm) on all sides.
3" x 3" (7.6cm x 7.6cm) box
For the base, you'll need cardstock measuring just under 7" (17.8cm) square, so remove about 1/16" from each side when you cut it.
For the lid you'll need DSP measuring exactly 7" square (17.8cm)
3.25" x 3.25" (8.3cm x 8.3cm) box
For the base - cardstock measuring just under 7.25" (18.4cm) square, so again remove a tiny amount from each side when you cut it.
For the lid - DSP measuring exactly 7.25" (18.4cm) square.
3.5" x 3.5" (8.9cm x 8.9cm) box
For the base - cardstock measuring just under 7.5" (19cm) square, so again removing a tiny bit each side.
For the lid - DSP measuring exactly 7.5" (19cm) square.
3.75" x 3.75" (9.5cm x 9.5cm) box
For the base - cardstock measuring just under 7.75" (19.7cm) square, remembering to remove a tiny bit on each side.
For the lid - DSP measuring exactly 7.75" (19.7cm).
4" x 4" (10.2cm x 10.2cm) box
For the base - cardstock measuring just under 8" (20.3cm) square, remembering to remove a tiny bit on each side.
For the lid - DSP measuring exactly 8" (20.3cm) square.
