Boxes

Boxes I've made over the last few weeks to match cards. Each box holds four Ferrero Rocher chocs.
I was going to note the measurements here but the puppy + piece of paper left lying about = chaos.

Peace

I bought a bargain 'Merry Christmas' die recently and planned to use it on this card. I then changed my mind as I thought it looked too cluttered and decided on 'Peace' instead.
After I'd glued it down I wondered if the Peace was too small...

Anyway the embossing folder is by Crafter's Companion and I swiped some pink Colour Cloud ink across the raised areas
The poinsettia dies are Sue Wilson, I think the sentiment is Papertrey Ink and I cut and layered it four times.

Vertical Greetings

Inspired by a card in the Stampin' Up! catalogue, all products are SU.

I used marker pens to colour directly on to the stamp (and added the gems to cover a little smudge)
Stamp set is 'Vertical Greetings'

Celebrate

I've used 'Ornate Lace' 3-D embossing folder by Crafter's Companion.
I embossed two pieces of black card, cut the decorative edges from one piece, and layered them across the other.

I added some Pebeo gilding wax, it's so creamy and just glides on, fabulous stuff!
Sentiment die is also by Crafter's Companion.

Daisy

This was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest by Julia Quinn, I don't have the crate die that she used or the patterned papers though.

Instead of the crate die I used the Hardwood stamp by Stampin' Up! on some caramel coloured card. I didn't make the 'crate' as deep but it would be simple enough to do so  -  this was for a card club project and a deeper crate would mean more flowers and more time needed...

I thought plain card was that bit too plain but didn't want to use patterned paper either so decided to just score the card instead (an easy alternative to stamping or using embossing folders)
The middle panel is lemon yellow and on this piece I scored the lines horizontally.

Daisy stamp and punches are by SU and I think the Happy Birthday die is by Poppy stamps/ Memory Box
The card folds flat and fits a C5 envelope.
