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)

Thank you so much for taking the time to write out all the measurements and for the great pictures. I can't wait to make these for the Holidays. So pretty and loved the blog hop yesterday.
