A floral card in a box

Good morning everyone! 

I hope you are well? As I type this, the sun is shining, so this morning I'm sharing a very summery card...

This card has been made for Keiran's Nanna for her birthday today. I haven't made a box card for a while so this was fun to do! I started with an A4 piece of card and scored it along the short edge at 7x7cm, then along the long edge at 7, 14, 21 and 28cm, but just as for as my first scoreline. 

I added 3 strips of card inside the card to hold the flowers, each was 9cm x 1cm and scored at 1cm from eacn end. I used various Stampin' Up! flower and butterfly stamp and punch sets to create this lovely summer display!

I finished with a die cut butterfly from the Butterfly Thinlits and the sentiment from Memorable Moments. The great thing about this style of card is that they can be folded flat for postage...isn't that brilliant?!

I hope you have a lovely day planned....I think we are having a day in Southport :)

See you tomorrow with my DT card for CAS-Colours and Sketches.

Butterfly birthday wishes

Good morning peeps!
Today is Thursday meaning it's time for our new challenge at CAS-Colours and Challenges, and this week it's a yummy colour challenge.



I do so love this colour combo and decided it would be perfect to use with my Butterfly Basics stamps...yes, I am addicted to them!

I stamped my image in black Stazon, to make it waterproof, then coloured it with my Stampin' Write Markers and one of the SU! Watercolour Pens to help blend the colours.

I added two of butterflies stamped from the set and punched out using the Bitty Butterfly punch. The sentiment is a combination of two...'Birthday' is from Memorable Moments, and 'wishes' is part of the 'get well wishes' stamps from Teeny Tiny Sentiments. I simply inked each stamp with my Lost Lagoon Marker and perfectly positioned them using my Stamp-a-ma-Jig. Even though we now have Photopolymer stamps, I still used that fantastic tool loads!

I did use a couple of challenges for my inspiration...

Creative Craft Cottage - Use a Sentiment

Less Is More - This Makes Me Happy...I love butterflies and spring and flowers...they make me feel happy with everything, so I have tried to show that in my card.
