MORE MOONLIT FLORA PROJECTS

I found a block of Whittakers West Coast Buttermilk Caramelised White Chocolate and decided to make a gift box to present it in … I thought the colour of the block would be perfect for the Golden Glow colour in the Designer Series Paper.

After making the gift box I added some the paper to the sides.

Then I die cut 6 leaves and used a Blending Brush to colour them.

I used one of the Phrases & Frames Dies to cut a frame for the box before stamping and cutting the greeting.

Several flowers were die cut and adhered to the box. The centres had some coloured pearls added.

I wrapped a length of Golden Glow Bordered Ribbon around the chocolate tray so that it could be easily pulled out.

Finally, I tied a bow and popped it on the box.

Tomorrow I have a card and a 3D project to share.

Until then, happy stamping.

ONSTAGE AFTER HOURS & BEYOND

During my long absence from posting my projects here, I spent 9 weeks travelling with my husband. During our adventures, we spent time in Germany where I attended the Stampin’ Up! Onstage event.

One of the features of the event was ‘After Hours’, an evening of extra card mkaing. We were given a kit containing the Fern & Flora Bundle, Moonlit Flora Designer Series Paper and the cardstock we needed to create four projects.

These are the cards I brought home with me from the conference.

When I returned home, my preordered Moonlit Flora Suite (and quite a few other goodies) was waiting for me.

THe first card I made was a fun fold card.

All the panels in this fun fold card gave me lots of areas to feature the designs of the paper.

To decorate the card front, I die cut several leaf stems in vellum, Mossy Meadow and Basic White. I also stamped and die cut 3 butterflies.

I cut a length of Peaceful Pine Bordered Ribbon and cut the border to create a thin ribbon strip. Then I looped the ribbon under the greeting panel.

To embellish the card front I added some Secret Sea Dewdrops.

I added a white panel to the card for a personal message to be written.

Check in tomorrow to see some other ideas for this suite.

Until then, happy stamping.

A BIRTHDAY CARD BY SPECIAL REQUEST

The card I am sharing today was made by special request. I love it when family and friends ask me to make cards for them to give to a specific person.

For this card, a shade of purple was the only requirement – so I chose Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather. to coordinate with the Violet Dreams Designer Series Paper.

This is such a beautiful collection of products and I’m looking forward to creating more projects with them.

This card measures 6″x6″ and has a custom envelope.

I decided to make a fun fold card so that I could decorate the panels with different DSP.

I used the Words & Wishes Dies to create the birthday greeting.

I’m looking forward to giving this to my daughter so that she can give it to the mother of her partner.

Tomorrow I am going to start sharing some projects that I have made using a different product suite.

Until then, happy stampinh.
