Botanical Gazette DSP

The new Botanical Gazette designer series paper is so beautiful, I find it scary to cut into any of the sheets. Strangely enough it's starting to disappear though... hmmm! These two projects have been designed for a future workshop, where we will be making both the card and gift box.

I will be showing the girls how to use the Big Shot machine to make this gorgeous little pinched box and the butterflies that are on both projects. I really enjoyed designing these and can't wait to share them!

Silhouette Sentiments

Today's card is a birthday card- always handy to have one around and I've been a bit short of them lately! I used Just Add Ink's sketch challenge 52 for this one and I must say it turned out better than I expected.

The colours I used for my card are Stampin Up's very vanilla, crumb cake, night of navy and early espresso. The antique brad looks great with the gorgeous satin ribbon and I used the big shot for the oval shape. The stamps are from a set called Silhouette Sentiments- which you can get for free when you host a workshop with sales of just $300!

This card has quite a few layers so it does become a bit heavy- I combat this by adding a layered decorative strip to the back of the card to even out the weight to make it stand up better.

This one came together quite easily and I am really enjoying it, but I'm off now to

mother's group so I'll see you later!
