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.

IT’S THURSDAY & TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

This week’s product spotlight is on the Beach Boardwalk Suite Collection that is available from January 6th – unless you want to buy it sooner. To do this you need to join Stampin’ Up! and preorder this and lots of other great soon to be released new products.

For this project I used one of 12″x 12″ papers from the Beach Boardwalk Designer Series Paper to create a great gift bag. I cut 1 3/4″ from the bottom of the paper.

I scored the paper at 1/2″, 2 1/2″, 6 1/4″ and 8 1/4″ on the 12″ side. The bottom edge was scored at 2″ for the bag base.

I also added a partial score line 6″, from the top edge, down both of the 2″ panels. This helps the bag fold in at the top.

To close the bag I punched two holes using the 1/8″ circle from the Hole Punch Assortment. Then I threaded some Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon to be able to a bow.

For the greeting tags, I die cut three tickets – one each in Basic White, Bubble Bath and Secret Sea. The greeting was stamped on the Basic White ticket.

The tickets were overlapped and glued together. Then I punched a 1/8″ hole for the ribbon to be threaded through. The tickets were then secured in place using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Finally, I coloured some Antique Pearls using the dark Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blend pen.

I think this would be a fantastic gift bag for a birthday gift.

Tomorrow I have a fun fold card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
