Hibiscus Blossom and Grow Crate - A5 Hibiscus Clear Stamp Set

Good Morning Everyone

Alice here with my first Monday Morning Blog for August.  Where do the weeks all disappear to?  This week I had a little play with the A5 Hibiscus clear stamp set.  This is a lovely stamp to use, and I love all the little swirls and stamens that come with it.  I decided to make a Popup Box Crate with this set and here it is:-

You will find this and all of the stamps used on the Colourific Website here.

Materials Used

A5 Hibiscus Clear Stamp Set
A6 Leaves Clear Stamp Set
A6  Moderne Flowers Stamps Set
A6 Blossom and Grow Stamp Set
Pieces of scrap Acetate
White Card
Scraps of Patterned Paper
Some Die Cut Butterflies
Double Sided Red Tape
Glitter
Gems

• Stamped 4 of the large and 4 of the small Hibiscus Flowers in different coloured inks.  Also stamped various sizes of flowers from the Moderne Flowers onto scraps of patterned paper.  All flowers were fussy cut and attached to small strips of Acetate with double sided tape.
• Stamp out various sizes and shapes of the A6 Leaves using different coloured inks to shade the leaves.  These were fussy cut out.
• The flowers, and some of the leaves were attached to small strips of Acetate with the double sided tape.
• The box is made using:-
  8 - 6in x 1/2in strips (long sides)8 - 2in x  1/2in strips (short side)
  4 - 3.75 x 1in strips, scored at 1/2 in down long side (for corners)
  2 - 7in x 1/2 in strips, scored at 1/2in and 6.5 in (for inside slats)
  Box is assembled to look like a crate as in the picture.
• Add the flowers, leaves and butterflies whichever way you wish, making sure that when you fold the box flat it will still go in the envelope.
• Added some gems and glitter to the centre of the flowers to add some sparkle, then finished off with the Blossom and Grow sentiment.

See you all again next week.  Thank you for looking.

Enjoy Your Day - A5 Girls Night Out Stamp Set

Good Morning

Alice here, showing you a Birthday Card I made using the following Stamps Sets:

A5 Girls Night Out 
A6 Moderne Flower 
A6 Leaves 
A6 Border and Stems

I stamped the shoes onto patterned paper, and also onto a cerise coloured card and paper pieced them together and added some crystal embellishments.  I cut the large Moderne Flower in Cerise Card and fussy cut them out.  I also stamped it onto heat resistant Acetate and embossed it with white embossing powder.  I layered the 2 coloured flowers together and added a crystal in the centre.  I stamped out the smaller flowers in 2 sizes and also layered them.  I inked the background card with oxide inks.  I used the Stitched Border Stamp around the edge of the white mat.  I matted the layers together them added the shoes and the floral embellishments.  I finished off with the Enjoy Your Day stamp from my stash.

You can find details of this card on my blog
