6 x 6" One Sheet Wonder set of cards and gift box

Hi there Stampers! Yes I know its been a long time between posts. Family illness put a whole lot of things on the back burner until the end of last month. a I havent been idle all the time, although all of December and most of January most of my time was spent at a hospital but now hopefully we are again on the upward scale and back to whatever normal is. The project I am showing here, was initially scheduled for December, but held it last month finally and is for a One Sheet Wonder using just a 6 x 6" piece of DSP. The cutting of the DSP is not my template, and I found it on Pinterest . There are lots to be found and this one come from Verves Stamps and what a wonderful way to use up some of those smaller squares of DSP!

 Firstly, we made the box to hold the cards and the envelopes in, and for the box we used the Envelope Punch Board, I love that tool makes it so very easy to whip up a box or indeed any size envelope you might need! The flap at the back was kept in place by punching out a Modern Label Punch and securing it on either side with a mini silver brad. The cards them selves were so easy and quick to do, and the ladies were amazed at how lovely they were, and all by using small pieces of DSP. We used Perfect Polka Dots and also the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folders, to add a bit of interest. We used The Reason to Smile Clear Stamp Set for all the flowers. I was so happy to be able to get back into sharing what I love and also to show my lovely ladies how to make this delightful set.

 I will hopefully pop in and out more regularly now and show you what I have been doing in my 'spare' time. If you would like the instructions on how to make this beautiful box and the cards, just send me an email and I will email the instructions  to you.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post and I look  forward to posting more regularly from now. Till next time, happy Stampin'

More Mosaic Madness

The new Mosaic Madness Stamp Set is such a simple set but holds the promise of great creation!
I decided to use all of the new IN Colours to make this card. I started with a card base of Crisp Cantaloupe, ran a piece of Whisper White through the Big Shot using the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder. Next I stamped some of the images from the Mosaic Madness stamp set onto Whisper White, using each one of the colours, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Baked Brown Sugar, Strawberry Slushy and Coastal Cabana.The shapes were then punched out with the Mosaic Punch. I worked out where I wanted to place these on the card front, then, taking one of the smaller images I stamped one of each colour onto the smaller raised image on the embossed sheet. The sentiment is stamped in Baked Brown Sugar onto Whisper White, and I didnt have another piece of Crisp Cantaloupe to put behind my sentiment, so I simply sponged a piece of Whisper White. This card is really very Clean and Simple! Till next time, Happy Stamping,

Blossom and Buttons Simply Pressed Thank You

After having a good play with the Simply Pressed Clay and the Buttons and Blossoms Mold, I thought that I would quickly put a card together using a couple of the flowers that I had made. Using my Aqua Painter I picked up some ink from the Primrose Petals Ink Pad and painted the two flowers, the centres I painted with Daffodil Delight using the same technique. I coloured the stems and the leaf from the Simply Sketched stamp set using my Stamp n Write Markers and Old Olive and a touch of Gumball Green. The card base is Primrose Petals and that was topped with Very Vanilla which I had run through the Big Shot using the Modern Mosaic embossing folder. The main image was stamped on Very Vanilla and matted on Primrose Petals and Basic Grey. I love the new stitched 1/4" Grosgrain ribbon and used the Basic Grey around the centre of the card. The focal layers were placed using dimensionals, the sentiment was stamped in Primrose Petals and I placed a Basic Rhinestone in the 'O' of the so. The flowers were attached using Tombow adhesive for its strength.
