MOONLIT FLORA MAKES BEAUTIFUL PROJECTS

I have loved creating with this suite during the week.

Today I have a step card and a unique 3D project to share with you.

This Golden Glow and Secret Sea card has some added texture from a retired embossing folder.

The top of the centre panel was created using one of the Bordered in Beauty Dies.

The leaf stems and butterflies were cut from the Luxe White Specialty Designer Series Paper.

To colour the butterflies I used a Blending Brush to add Golden Glow to them.

I also added some Golden Glow Bordered Ribbon and Flat Pearls to the card.

The 3D project I want to share is a small gify box.

It is definitiely a measure twice, cut once type of project. It a little bit of figuring to get everything to work but I love how it turned out.

I enjoy the challenge of seeing a 3D project in my mind and then translating that into a 2D ‘plan’.

After I got the dimensions right and cut the box I added some of the Moonlit Flora DSP.

The Misty Moonlight Silver Edged Ribbon was secured to the box before I added some die cut and coloured leaf stems.

The greeting was stamped and die cut and added to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Last, but not least, I added some clear Dewdrops.

Next week I will be featuring the Summer Happiness Bundle and Washi Tape.

Until then, happy stampig.

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.
