Box of Pansies for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Hello and thank you for joining me for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on. I am sharing the sweet box of pansies I have made for my Mum’s birthday tomorrow. I used a Youtube video by Sally Stampers as my inspiration

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the box of pansies, you will need:

Early Espresso card – 7” by 3” – scored on the long side at 1” and 3”
Early Espresso card – 7” by 4” – scored on the long side at 4” and 6”
Early Espresso card – 5” by ½” x 2 – scored at either end at ½”
Basic White 3 ½” by 3 ½”
Evening Evergreen card – ⅛” by 3” strips – about 10
In Good Taste dsp – 4” by 2”
In Good Taste dsp – 2” by 2”
In Good Taste dsp – 4” by 4”
Pansy Petals dsp – the sheet of leaves
Scrap Basic White

Placing the short end of the larger piece of Early Espresso card at the top of the Trimmer, score lines nearest the top. I cut at 2” down to the 2^nd score line. This will leave a 4” by 4” piece which will be the back panel of the box and a side piece measuring 3” with a score line in the middle.

Fold and burnish the score lines on both the large Early Espresso panels. Adhere the panels together using the 1” tabs using a strong glue, I used Tear and Tape. This forms the box.

Fold and burnish the ½” tabs on the tin strip of Early Espresso card and attach these inside the box. I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to do this so that I could manoeuvre them into position.

I added the In Good Taste dsp to the front and side of the box.

I stamped a section of pansies, 3 large and 14 small onto scrap Basic White card. The colour combinations I used were.

1^st generation Polished Pink outline, 2^nd generation Polished Pink solid image and Merry Merlot for the bearded part. 1^st generation Fresh Freesia outline, 2^nd generation Fresh Freesia solid image and Gorgeous Grape for the bearded part.

1^st generation Bermuda Bay outline, 2^nd generation Bermuda Bay solid image and Misty Moonlight for the bearded part.

The centres were stamped in Bumblebee ink. The flowers were then die cut using the Pansy Dies. The leaves were die cut from the Pansy Petals dsp.

Using liquid glue, I added the 3 large pansies to the back panel of the box making sure not to place them to high as I wanted the card to fit into a standard C6 envelope. I added some of the smaller flowers to the front panel using the same glue.

I added the ⅛” strips of Evening Evergreen card to the other small pansies and added them at different heights to the inside panels, snipping off the excess. I added the leaves with a dot of liquid glue. Taking care that the card when folded down will still fit within the envelope.

The sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set was stamped in Polished Pink ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Floral Gallery dies and added to the front of the box with liquid glue.

I stamped a pink pansy onto the square panel of Basic White card and added it to the back of the back panel which will give us a place to write.

I added a trio of 2021-2023 In Color Jewels to finish the card.

I am sure my Mum will love it.
