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 2nd 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 stamped a section of pansies, 3 large and 14 small onto scrap Basic White card. The colour combinations I used were.

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

1st generation Bermuda Bay outline, 2nd 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.

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.

Beautiful Spring colours for March classes Tulip themed cards using Stampin' Up! products

Timeless Tulips Class Projects

We had Tulips classes last week using the lovely Timeless Tulips stamp set and the Tulip Builder Punch to make 3 cards one of which was a sweet box card. Every card in this month’s classes also used an embossing folder by special request.

To recreate the Tulips class box card you will need:

Thick Whisper White – 9” by 8¼” scored on the long side @ 2⅛”, 4¼”, 6⅜”, & 8½”
Scored on the Short side – @ 2¾” – then place on the trimmer with the 2¾” score on the left and cut off at 6” – Take the off cut and cut down to get 2 pieces with a small tab at each end.
Flirty Flamingo 5⅞” by 2” x 2
Flirty Flamingo 2⅝” by 2” x 3
Whisper White W 5½” by 1⅞” x 2
Whisper White W 2½” by 1⅞” x 3
Old Olive ¼” strips x 6 cut in half.
Scrap Whisper White
Whisper White Envelope

With the smaller 4 rectangles towards you and the thinnest rectangle to the right we cut away the smallest rectangle. We then cut up each of the scorelines to the horizontal score line to form the flaps of the box card.

We took the off cut strips and adhered then inside the box to serve as dividers.

The long thin Whisper White panels were adhered to the Long Flirty Flaming panel and added to the front and back of the back panel of the box.

We embossed the 3 small Whisper White panels using the Parisian Flourish embossing folder, added them to the small Flirty Flamingo panels then to the flaps of the box.

The ladies stamped a row of tulips in 4 colours onto scrap Whisper White card stock – 8 tulips in all and punched them out using the Tulip Builder Punch. We attached the Old Olive ‘stems’ with Mini Glue Dots. They were then added to the dividers and the back of the box with Mini Glue Dots

To recreate the muti-coloured Tulip card you will need;

Real Red –8 ¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Old Olive 5⅜” by 3¾”
Whisper White 5¼” by 3⅝”
Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Old Olive 5⅜”by 2⅛”
Whisper White 5⅜” by 2
Scrap Whisper White
Whisper White Envelope

The smooth side of the Stone Embossing folder was inked up using Old Olive ink and ran it through the Big Shot using the new blue embossing plate. I love the effect this gives. The embossed layer was glued to the Old Olive panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, then to the Real Red card front using the same adhesive.

We stamped a flower in each of the four colours and punched them out. The flowers were then curled from side to side using the bone folder to give a bit of dimension.

The stems and leaves were stamped on the long thin Whisper White panel and the flowers added with a dimensional. The stamped panel was added to a layer of Old Olive, then to the card front with the liquid adhesive.

To recreate the Flirty Flowers card you will need:

Flirty Flamingo –8 ¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Real Red 5½” by 3¾”
Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Old Olive 4⅛”by 2½”
Whisper White 4” by 2⅜”
Whisper White 4” by 2 ½” for punching
Whisper White Envelope

We inked up the flowers with Flirty Flamingo ink then used a sponge dauber to add Real Red ink around the base of each flower before stamping the flower onto scrap Whisper White card stock and punching it out. The flowers were shaped in the same way as for the previous card.

The background was embossed using the Scripty Embossing Folder and one of the Whisper White panels. This was adhered to the Real Red panel, then to the Flirty Flamingo card base.

The stems and leaves were stamped on the small Whisper White panel in Old Olive ink and the flowers added as before on a dimensional.
