THURSDAY & THAT MEANS IT IS TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT FOR MOTHER’S DAY

I found two delightful soaps that I wanted to create gift boxes for, for Mother’s Day. One has a sweet, berry aroma and the other a mango and passionfruit scent.

I created two boxes measuring 3″x 3″x 1 1/4″. One was made in Crushed Curry and the other in Strawverry Slush.

The top of each box had a square panel of the floral paper, from the Celebratory Sips 12″x 12″ DSP pack, attached to it.

I cut several flowers and leaves to decorate the top of each box. The flowers came from the Country Flowers Dies and the leaves came from the Thankful Garden Dies.

The greetings were stamped in coordinating colours before being cut using one of the squares from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

These greetings were then attached to the lid with Stampn’ Dimensionals.

And, finally, tomorrow I have another Fun Fold card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

If you live in Australia, you can order any of the products I used to make this card by going to my online store. As you read through this post, you will see the products I used for this project. The new items are available from May 6th.

I will share a partial, current product list for you.

Today I have a card that I created for Mother’s Day and I am calling it a Double Fold Flat Box Card. I haven’t seen this style of card before so if you have and know its “correct” name, please let me know.

For this card, I have featured the Lovely Garden Suite Collection.

To create this Fun Fold card I cut a 12″x 5 3/4″ panel of Garden Green card and scored it at 2″, 4″ and 8″. On this back panel I added strips of the Garden Green and Basic White checked DSP.

I then took two pieces of Gard Green card, measuring 12″x 2 1/4″ and scored them at the same places. I added the same green checked DSP on the top scored card and pieces of the yellow floral DSP to the bottom scored card.

I filled the front space with a stamped, coloured and die cut flower from the featured stamp set.

I used the She’s the Greatest Stamp Set to stamp the greeting, in Crushed Curry. After trimming this strip, I added a strip of Crushed Curry card behind it and then added a panel of the green checked DSP.

The greeting was then positioned on this central front section using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using Basic White Baker’s Twine, I tied a triple bow and attached it to the flower using Mini Glue Dots.

To finish the front of the card, I added some Adhesive-backed Dots for Days Crushed Curry dots.

I added a Basic White panel to the back of the card as well as a strip of the yellow floral DSP. The same DSP was added to the back of the envelope as well.

I am so pleased with how this card turned out!

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

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

TECHNIQUE TUESDAY IS HERE

The Mother’s Day card today features the use of the Thankful Garden Masks and Blending Brushes to colour the floral image.

TIP: When using the masks make sure you take a pencil and mark the notched corner of the first mask and then align the remaining masks to that guide.

There are three floral and two leaf masks in this collection.

The card base is Fresh Freesia and the black and white paper is from the Lovely Garden 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper pack.

I wrapped a length of the Fresh Freesia fAux Velvet Ribbon around the DSP panel.

I used the Fresh Freesia and Garden Green Classic Stampin’ Pads for this card. The colours were applied lightly at first and then more heavily with each mask layer – this is great way to build up the colour intensity.

After colouring and die cutting the flower used Stampin’ Dimensionals to lift it up over the ribbon.

The greeting, from the She’s the Greatest Stamp Set, was stamped and then cut using dies from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

The card insert and back of the envelope had more of the black and white DSP added to them.

The final step was to add some of the Fresh Freesia gems from the Tinsel Gems Three Pack across the front of the card.

Tomorrow I have another card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
