Flower Patch Frenzy Box

When I saw the box made by Caroline Hallett at the Stampin' Up! European Convention, I knew that I had CASe it. I have of course put my own slant on it.

This is a photo of Caroline's projects pinned to the board. The box is what I have to share with you today but the card is one that we had as a Make & Take (different colours though).



Caroline's box is a rectangular cube but I decided to make mine a square cube, so all sides are the same length. If you would like to see Caroline's box in more detail you can check it out here - Craftyhallett. She also has instructions on how to make her box.

My box was made from one piece of 12" x 12" Lost Lagoon card stock and the new Gift Box Punch Board. Cutting and scoring/punching instructions for various square boxes are on the punch board, but it is possible to make rectangular boxes too.

This is my box. As you can see, I decorated it with flowers from the Flower Patch stamp set. I told you the other day that I'd been on a bit of a flower patch frenzy!


Closed finished box with belly band.

I had a lot of fun making the box. The box itself was really easy to make. It was the decorating that took a bit longer. I love the colours as they are really vibrant - this year's In Colors (with a bit of Pear Pizzazz thrown in for good measure).

I took my box one stage further that Caroline's by adding a belly band in Blackberry Bliss.

Details of all the Stampin' Up! supplies used are as follows:



Oops. Sorry, missed off the Blackberry Bliss card stock (item no. 133682 £6.25).

My head is totally spinning with box ideas at the moment and I am pretty sure that one of those ideas will make it's way into a class sometime early in the New Year (gulp).

A Bit of a Flower Patch Frenzy

A couple of weeks ago I made a friend a card for her birthday.  I was going to post a photo of it on here once the big day was over, but realised yesterday that I had forgotten to take one.

As a result, I decided to remake the card. It's as close to the original as I could remember, and this is what I came up with.


I used a piece of Designer Series Paper from the Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack and layered a piece of Lost Lagoon on top that I had used the Striped Scallop Thinlits Die on. I went a little mad with stamping flowers in various colours, that I had enough left over to make another card (see below) and a 3D project that I will share with you another day.

For the second card, I turned it 90 degrees from the original, so that it was portrait. I used the Striped Scallop Thinlits Die only on the top 2/3rds of the Lost Lagoon card stock. The bottom portion of the Lost Lagoon is actually separate from the scallop top but I butted the two close together so that it looks like one piece.



The photo does not show the three scored lines very clearly, but they are there (towards the top of the solid piece of Lost Lagoon).

The Stampin' Up! supplies used to make these cards are:



As I said, I will share the 3D project another day.

I'm not sure if any of you follow Stampin' Up! UK on Facebook. They have been running a campaign to reach 5000 likes and have just achieved this. Whoop whoop.

A little peek

of what we will be getting up to on Saturday at my All Day Event.



You didn't seriously think I would show you the whole card and spoil the fun, did you? Sorry. What I can show you, is one of the four cards that we made at last weekend's regular monthly class.


I love the colour combination on this card and everyone had fun making it. Details of what was used is as follows:


I only have a few classes left for the rest of this year, so if you are interested in coming along to one check out the dates on the Events & Classes page and let me know. 

I will be working on dates for next year in the near future, and will let you all know what they are once I have figured them out.
