Hibiscus Blossom and Grow Crate - A5 Hibiscus Clear Stamp Set

Good Morning Everyone

Where do the weeks all disappear to?  This week I had a little play with the A5 Hibiscus clear stamp set from Colourific.  This is a lovely stamp to use, and I love all the little swirls and stamens that come with it.  I decided to make a Popup Box Crate with this set and here it is:-

You will find this and all of the stamps used on the Colourific Website here.

Materials Used

A5 Hibiscus Clear Stamp Set
A6 Leaves Clear Stamp Set
A6  Moderne Flowers Stamps Set
A6 Blossom and Grow Stamp Set
Pieces of scrap Acetate
White Card
Scraps of Patterned Paper
Some Die Cut Butterflies
Double Sided Red Tape
Glitter
Gems

• Stamped 4 of the large and 4 of the small Hibiscus Flowers in different coloured inks.  Also stamped various sizes of flowers from the Moderne Flowers onto scraps of patterned paper.  All flowers were fussy cut and attached to small strips of Acetate with double sided tape.
• Stamp out various sizes and shapes of the A6 Leaves using different coloured inks to shade the leaves.  These were fussy cut out.
• The flowers, and some of the leaves were attached to small strips of Acetate with the double sided tape.
• The box is made using:-
  8 - 6in x 1/2in strips (long sides)8 - 2in x  1/2in strips (short side)
  4 - 3.75 x 1in strips, scored at 1/2 in down long side (for corners)
  2 - 7in x 1/2 in strips, scored at 1/2in and 6.5 in (for inside slats)
  Box is assembled to look like a crate as in the picture.
• Add the flowers, leaves and butterflies whichever way you wish, making sure that when you fold the box flat it will still go in the envelope.
• Added some gems and glitter to the centre of the flowers to add some sparkle, then finished off with the Blossom and Grow sentiment.

See you all again next week.  Thank you for looking.

• Stamped the Kaleidoscope with Memento Ink onto centre of 6.5 x 6.5 stamping card, then stamped around it with various stamps from the Marquis Petal and Circular stamps.

• Used a Greeting Stamp from my stash and made the banner for the bottom of the card.  This has been mounted with foam pads onto a scrap of black card to give the card some dimension.

Good Evening

This is a card I made for an order.  I can share it now that the Wedding has passed.  Hope you like it.

This card was made using Tonic dies and some other dies I had in my stash.  I attached the dies to a Square 8 x8 card and cut off the corners.  Printed off all the wording on a toner printer and foiled them.  Added some little flowers and a bow to finish it off.

Thanks for looking.
