TODAY IS A SATURDAY SPECIAL

Today I have two cards that a made a week or so ago for one of the GLobal Design Project challenges. The theme was flowers.

I used the Happy Hibiscus Bundle and Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder for both of them.

After preparing the card base and embossing the Basic White panel, I used the 1 7/8″ Circle Punch to cut out the space where I placed the greeting circle.

I embossed more white card to cut out two more circles, using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch.

Then I used the Happy Hibiscus floral dies to cut all of these flowers.

I I secured the embossed circles to the corrugated panel and then attached all the flowers to it.

The dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends pen was used to splatter the card front and colour some of the Drusy Embellishments that I placed in some of the flowers.

The greeting was also stamped on inside the card and the back of the evelope.

The second card was created in a similar way to the first.

To create the flowers I applied multiple layers of the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape to a piece of Basic White card. Then I die cut the flowers.

I used the dark Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Blends pen to colour the Drusy Embellishments and leave flecks of colour across the corrugated panel.

Some Petal Pink strands from the Braided Trim were used to create the bow that was added to the card front.

I am so happy with how well these washi tape flowers turned out.

This is a weekend when I will be sharing another card tomorrow.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

HOW TO MAKE A HAPPY HIBISCUS GIFT BOX FOR SOME CUTE AUSTRALIAN CHOCOLATES

Today I have a 5″x 5″x 5/8″ Real Red gift box that holds four super cute chocolates.

For the flowers, I embossed and die cut several hibiscus from Real Red Two-tone Card. By rubbing an emery board across the surface of the flowers I was able to expose some of the white core.

Some leaves were cut and attached to the back of three large hibiscus along with a short length of Real Red & Gold Dotted Ribbon.

The flowers were then arranged in a wreath and secured to the gift box lid using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting was stamped and cut with the circle die from the Happy Hibiscus Bundle. It was then positioned in the centre of the wreath.

To finish the box I added some gold sequins from the Neutrals Adhesive-backed Sequins.

I will have a fun fold card to share with you tomorrow.

Until then, happy stamping.

HOW TO CREATE A WHITE ON WHITE CARD

When I first used the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid Embossing Folder I knew that I wanted to create a white on white card.

I started with a Lost Lagoon cardbase and then added a trio of score lines down and across a thick white panel.

The card insert was also scored in the same way.

Then I wrapped two lengths of Lost Lagoon Soft Cording around the bottom section of the card.

After embossing and cutting out the hibiscus flowers I overlapped and layered them across the front of the card, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting was stamped and die cut before adding it to the card.

To finish the card, I added a bow and some Lost Lagoon gems from the Tinsel Gems 3 Pack.

I added one of the small white embossed and cut flowers to the back of the envelope.

Tomorrow I will have a 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
