Happy Birthday Rafi

This is a card holder,  I made for a dear family friend, I used SU! Basic Black card stock and found the tutorial on SCS here is a link to the Stationary Box Directions. 

I didn't add the address book,stamp pocket or pen.

Here are a couple more pics of the box.

I made 4 full size cards,

3 3x3 cards and envelope's and 4 tags.

I did emboss the paper with the big shot before making mini envelopes and I stamped a small sentiment on the back of the tags that could be used for any kind of gift.

Let me Know what you think.

Paper FlowerTutorial Update

I have had such a wonderful response from my first tutorial and I am so happy that there are people out there that are enjoying it and I hope it is inspiring you to create some wonderful projects.

I just wanted to add a picture so you could see the difference between SU! card stock and regular 

scrapbook paper.

The purple flowers are SU! paper and only 8 scallop circles were used.

The black flower was made with 8 half scallop circles,I had them left over from a project,

I made with the Big Shot petal cone die. I just overlapped them a bit before placing a brad in them. I thought it was a good use of my scraps. I think it would look nicer a bit fuller so next time, 

I would probably use around 12.

The last three were made with reg. scrapbook paper, They were colored on one side and white on the other, As I stacked them I alternated between the colored and white side to give them a different look.

They are not SU! so the paper was very thin.

I used 10 on the orange one,14 on the green & 16 on the whiter one.

I hope you can tell by the pictures the fullness.

Also Danie Stamps from Texas was so nice to add a link on her blog to my tutorial and she added a great idea some of you might like to try, She used body spray instead of misting with water so her flowers had a nice scent to them.

I haven't tried it yet,but it's on my to do list. Hope all this helps

and I would love to hear back from you or see what you've come up with.

DOstamping Stars Thursday Challenge #54

So for this week's challenge when,I saw these colors all that came to mind was the

Fabulous Florets Stamp Set it is so versatile.

I love that it has a coordinating embossing folder 

for the "Big Shot"and the "DSP" .

I started off with Tangerine Tango as my Base Card and I Stamped on Whisper White alternating the flowers to make my Custom "DSP" so the colors could match this weeks challenge.

I embossed the buckle with the coordinating Flower garden Embossing Folder.

I then stamped two more images of the flowers and used sponge daubers to add some color, I cut them out and used Stampin' Dimensionals to "pop" them out and I think it adds another dimension to the card. 

Every time, I see this set it just makes me smile.

I hope you like my Buckle Card this week.
