Stampin'Up Rose Garden Shadow Box Wedding Card and Box

Hello and Welcome to my Blog!
On this post I am sharing a Shadow Box Wedding Card and Box made with the Rose Garden Thinlits dies and the Timeless Textures stamp set.

See below for Box assembly instructions.

The Shadow Box Card finished size is 7-1/8 x 4-1/2

I followed the tutorial by Amanda Bates click Here to see her instructions on how to assemble this Shadow Box Card base.

On a separate piece of Whisper White card stock cut at 6" X 3-3/4"  I stamped ramdomly with the Timeless Textures stamp set and Wisteria Wonder ink all around the edges to create a background. I cut the two rose pieces from the Rose Garden Thinlits dies in Whisper White card stock and glued them on the frame of the shadow box. I added some Dazzlign Diamonds stampin glitter to both rose cuts.

Box assembly Instructions:

Cut a piece of white card stock at  9"X12"

Score on long side at  5, 5-3/4, 10-3/4, and 11-1/2

Score on short side at  3/4, 7-7/8, 8-5/8

This Shadow Box Card looks difficult however it goes really easy once you assemble the base, and the results are amazing!

I hope you found some inspiration with this project and decide to make your own Shadow Box Cards, and wow your recipients by using Stampin'Up products which make these projects so Unique!

Stampin'Up Market Fresh Thank You Gift Set

Hello and Welcome to my Blog!
Today I would like to share with you a Thank You Gift Set made with the Stampin'Up Market Fresh stamp set and the Berry Basket die.

The Strawberry picking season at our local market starts on February and it goes until May. It has been so amazing this year! I decided to pack some fresh strawberries and bring to my family and friends, and what a fantastic way to do this by using the Stampin'Up Berry Basket die and coordinating Designer Series Papers!

To build the basket I used the Stampin'Up Berry Basket die and Kraft card stock for the base, Cherry Cobbler card stock for the scallop border, 2-1/2 squares cut from the Farmers Market Designer Series Paper to decorate.

I made this card to complement the basket.  I used the Market Fresh stamp set and Farmers Market designer series paper, I stamped image on Shimmery White paper and used the Aqua Painters to watercolor it. The colors I used are Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Soft Suede. The image fits perfect on the 2-1/2 circle punch and I cut an extra layer of Cherry Cobbler with the Circles framelits. The Apothecary Accent die is retired; however you can substitute by using one of the Deco Labels framelits. I used the Softly Falling Embossing folder on the first layer of Very vanilla card stock to blend in with the soft dots on the designer series paper background.

Other supplies used are: Burlap ribbon, Antique Brads, Woodgrain embossing folder, Clothespins.

 Stampin'Up products really make gift packaging so attractive and unique, I really enjoyed making these projects and I hope the gift recipients like them too!

I also hope you liked these projects and found some inspiration to make your own gift sets, if you would like to shop for any of the Stampin'Up products used here please visit my Website HERE.
