Artfully Layered Gift Box

With Mini Paper Pumpkin Boxes, soon to be retired 😞, you can make lovely gift boxes. They are food safe so you can pop a home-cooked treat in, choccies or a set of Notecards and envelopes.

This is quite simple to do, using some designer series paper and some co-ordinating card. The Artfully Composed Suite has some wonderful papers and the stamp set has some nice sentiments too. Leaves are good for men or women, so I made full use of them.

Some of the cards are fairly simple, with just a square of DSP and a sentiment, while others like those above ended up with stamping, die cuts, ribbon and other embellishments.

Even so, they all relate to one another, with a similar plan for each card. Something I still haven't tried, but will soon, is die cutting leaves from the DSP, and apparently you can even fill in the outlines with a matching stamp.

 The colours used are Calypso Coral, Pale Papaya, Pear Pizzazz, Evening Evergreen, Just Jade and Mint Macaron. Just Jade retires at the end of this month, and it will definitely be a green I'll miss.

I have a Facebook live putting these together. 

 Your orders are very much appreciated, no matter how small or big, every little bit helps me to meet my minimums, and keep on creating.

Catching Butterflies Gift

I had a request recently for three sets of notecards as gifts, after my customer had seen a larger, similar greeting card on Instagram. You can see the original here.

Notecards are a little smaller, perfect for slipping into a gift bag, but also can be mailed too. 

The stamping is on a Stitched Rectangle panel, one which fits inside the Stitched So Sweetly scalloped rectangle after the colours are blended with a blending brush.

 Notecards fit the mini Paper Pumpkin boxes, I just had to work out a way to cut a window in it so the cards could be viewed easily.

It gives me a lot of satisfaction meeting my clients expectations, and I think I succeeded, judging by the smile and many thanks! 

Catching Butterflies is a FREE SALE-A-Bration stamp set, which can be added to your $90 order until March 31.(Extended in Australia & New Zealand after shipping delays earlier in the year).

If you'd like to make cards similar to this, and need more information, feel free to get in touch. If you live anywhere in Australia, you may order from my online store (and I'll do a happy dance)! I hold classes in my home - South Morang, Victoria and can do at Phillip Island Victoria as well.
