Flowering Foils Week! Gift Box

Good evening friends! I hope you're doing well today. It's kindof a wet and gloomy day here in East TN, so I thought I'd go ahead and create that Greeting Card Gift Box I mentioned yesterday. It's just the ticket to add a little sunshine back into my day!


 I really LOVE all the colors we've been playing with this week.  Don't you?  Stampin' Blends are so much fun to play with, ESPECIALLY when you've got such amazing paper to color!

EACH DAY THIS WEEK (Monday-Friday) I posted a different Card and each one features the So Sentimental Bundle, Tasteful Textures Stamp Set and the Flowering Foils Designer Series Paper!

When you order the So Sentimental Bundle and a pack of Stampin' Dimensionals, you will earn the Flowering Foils DSP for FREE!!! AND, when you use the host code pictured here, you'll also get a FREE set of Rhinestone Basic Jewels! YAY! Click the image here to go directly to a cart with these products:


If you have come back each day this week to see the next card, THANK YOU so much!!! I really appreciate you following this series.  I had so much fun creating the cards for you. I hope you're able to get some use out of them!

Here's a quick recap of each of the cards: 

Monday - Flirty Flamingo

Tuesday - Highland Heather

Wednesday - Seaside Spray

Thursday - Shades Of Green

Friday - Colors Of The Rainbow


As you can see, we've had a great week! :-) 

Ok, but now you'd like a box to put your beautiful cards in! Right?  I gotcha covered my friend!


We'll start with TWO 6" x 7 3/8" Pieces of Cardstock. I used Smoky Slate and Balmy Blue. These will be your lid and base.

You'll also need:
* A piece of the Flowering Foils DSP measuring 4" x 5 1/4"
* A piece of Cardstock (for the first layer) measuring 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (you'll die cut the label from this layer)
* A piece of Whisper White Cardstock measuring 2 1/2" x 1 3/8" for the sentiment piece
* A few inches of Daffodil Delight Ruched Ribbon to make the bow with
* Tuxedo Black Ink Pad
* Flirty Flamingo Ink Pad
* Various Shades of Stampin' Blends Markers
* Rhinestone Basic Jewels

As with the other cards this week, you'll want to color your Designer Series Paper first.

For each of the two 6" x 7 3/8" pieces of Cardstock, you will score at 3/4" on all four sides.  Whichever piece you want to be your lid, will need to have the "SHIM" in place on the scoreboard BEFORE you score the lines to ensure a good fit.

Watch my video to see what I mean:



Once you have your box scored, cut and assembled (follow the video tutorial if you're not sure about making a basic card box), it's time to put the front panels on.  In the video, you can see how I stamped and embellished the front of the box to coordinate with my cards.

This is a really simple type of box, but it looks so pretty dressed up to match the cards! Now the only question is, who to give this beautiful gift to?


There you have it friends! I hope you've enjoyed this week's series of projects.  Please comment below and let me know which of this week's cards was your favorite, and if you plan to make them too!  I'd love to hear from you!!

Until Next Time,
Happy Crafting!

Flowering Foils Week! All the colors of the Rainbow

Good morning everyone! Today, we're wrapping up the Flowering Foils Coronacation Week with our 5th and final card.  I hope you love it as much as I do!

I give you........  The Flowering Foils Rainbow Card!


I think we NEED this right now.  Don't you?  There's so much uncertainty and fear going on right now with the Covid 19 virus and all the other stuff, that we need a little sunshine and rainbow!

I have been posting a new video EACH DAY THIS WEEK (Monday-Friday at least) and each project features the So Sentimental Bundle and the Flowering Foils Designer Series Paper!

When you order the So Sentimental Bundle and a pack of Stampin' Dimensionals, you will earn the Flowering Foils DSP for FREE!!! AND, when you use the host code pictured here, you'll also get a FREE set of Rhinestone Basic Jewels! YAY! Click the image here to go directly to a cart with these products:


Ok, are you ready to make a Rainbow?



The So Sentimental bundle makes easy work of #Loveitchopit with your Designer Series Papers.  Simply "chop" your DSP to 4" x 5 1/4" and layer to the front of a card base, then attach a sentiment piece from the bundle! Easy Peezy!  Of course, we've been adding a piece of coordinating ribbon as we've gone along too.

We'll start with a 4 1/4" x 11" Piece of Melon Mambo Cardstock (scored at 5 1/2") for our card base.

You'll also need:
* A piece of the Flowering Foils DSP measuring 3 7/8" x 5 3/8"
* A piece of Whisper White Cardstock (for the inside layer) measuring 4" x 5 1/4"
* A piece of Call Me Clover Cardstock (for the front layer) measuring 4" x 5 1/4"
* A piece of Whisper White Cardstock big enough to die cut the Stitched So Sweetly Label
* Approximately 6" of Daffodil Delight Ruched Ribbon
* Tuxedo Black Ink Pad
* Various Shades of Stampin' Blends Markers
* Various Shades of Stampin' Write Markers
* Rhinestone Basic Jewels

As with the other cards this week, you'll want to color your background first.

I used nearly every color of Stampin' Blend on this card! Can you believe it?  So, just pick a bunch of the colors you like and use them.  It helps to remember the layout of the rainbow though, so I'll tell you this order:

Red
Pink
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Purple

If you follow that basic pattern, you'll get a gorgeous rainbow!

Die cut the Stitched Label from the scrap of Whisper White and from the center of the Call Me Clover.  Stamp the sentiment on the White Label.  Using your Snips or Stampin' Trimmer cut the white label just inside the stitching marks.  This will make the perfect size layer for the sentiment.

I adhered the White layer directly to the Clover Label, but then used Dimensionals to attach it to the front of the card.

You can see the colors on the envelope in the first photo.  I used Stampin' Write Markers and colored directly on the floral image stamp.

DO NOT USE YOUR STAMPIN' BLENDS TO COLOR DIRECTLY ON YOUR STAMPS!!!

It doesn't work and  you'll permanently stain your stamp.  If you don't have stampin' write markers to make a rainbow, I recommend using sponge daubers to apply a few inks direct or just choose your favorite color. :-) There's always a way around!

See how I did the rainbow effect (and how I assembled the card) here:



I did the "rainbow effect on the envelope as well as the inside layer. It was very cute!

The last thing is to apply adhesive to the back of the DSP and wrap your strip of Ribbon around it before you apply it to the card front.  Then you can put your label in place.


I hope today's card brings a smile to your face and brightens your day! Take the time to color and enjoy the slower pace for just a bit today.  Nice cleansing breaths and a renewed energy within!

Until Next Time,
Happy Crafting!

Flowering Foils Week! Shades Of Green

Hey there! How goes? Man! This week has been flying by!  We're already on Day #4 of the Flowering Foils Coronacation Week.

Today's card is courtesy of my lil miss and features various shades of green from the Stampin' Up arsenal.  I love that my daughter did this one for us. It's a rare treat!


I have been posting a new video EACH DAY THIS WEEK (Monday-Friday at least) and each project features the So Sentimental Bundle and the Flowering Foils Designer Series Paper!

When you order the So Sentimental Bundle and a pack of Stampin' Dimensionals, you will earn the Flowering Foils DSP for FREE!!! AND, when you use the host code pictured here, you'll also get a FREE set of Rhinestone Basic Jewels! YAY! Click the image here to go directly to a cart with these products:


Right, Now for Day #4!


For this card, Miss used most of the different green Stampin' Blends as well as Balmy Blue and Seaside Spray.  I like that she added just that little touch of blue to that one area.  It's neat!

The So Sentimental bundle makes easy work of #Loveitchopit with your Designer Series Papers.  Simply "chop" your DSP to 4" x 5 1/4" and layer to the front of a card base, then attach a sentiment piece from the bundle! Easy Peezy!  Of course, we've been adding a piece of coordinating ribbon as we've gone along too.

We'll start with a 4 1/4" x 11" Piece of Seaside Spray Cardstock (scored at 5 1/2") for our card base.

You'll also need:
* A piece of the Flowering Foils DSP measuring 4" x 5 1/4"
* A piece of Whisper White Cardstock (for the inside layer) measuring 4" x 5 1/4"
* A piece of Whisper White Cardstock big enough to die cut the Stitched Sweetly Label
* Approximately 10" of Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon
* Tuxedo Black Ink Pad
* Various Shades of Green Stampin' Blends Markers
* Rhinestone Basic Jewels

As with the other cards this week, you'll want to color your background first.  As you can see from the photo, lil Miss just colored a couple petals at a time with each color.

Stamp the sentiment on the Label.


The bow I added to this card in particular, is tied an interesting and different way.  You'll want to watch the video to see how that's done. It could be a GAME CHANGER for smaller lengths of ribbon!

See the Video here:


Once you've got your ribbon attached to the DSP layer, attach the DSP to the card front and then attach the sentiment label using dimensionals.

Stamp the Floral image in Shaded Spruce on the White inside layer, and attach it inside the card.

There you go!  I hope you're enjoying this week's series.  I love how they are all so similar and yet each are very unique.

I can't wait to share tomorrow's card with you!  I think we saved the BEST for last!!! :-D

Until Next Time,
Happy Crafting!
