Oval Framelits Gift Box

And for the final Big Shot project, a cute little gift box, again using the Oval Framelits.

Love this colour combo, sadly Riding Hood Red is retiring.

Love the butterfly image from the "Kindness Matters" set

A jumbo pearl sits nicely in the centre of the flower

And finally the inside of the box, not the best of pictures but I couldn't get it to stay open!

All three projects together

More Big Shot projects

The next project was a card, again using the Ovals Framelits

Again we used the "Kindness Matters" stamp set along with "Summer Silhouettes".   The Jumbo Pearls look great as flower centres.

I adore the Natural Composition Designer Paper, the catalogue pictures really don't do it any justice.  The gloss images look as if they have been clear heat embossed and the card itself is a very heavy weight.

The crochet trim is so pretty, quite vintage looking and worked well with the vanilla layers.

Big Shot Class Projects

I am really struggling with my time management at the moment, this week has been crammed and it's far from over yet!  I love the Bank Holidays but hate missing that day of work and having to catch up!

My focus for last month's Big Shot class was the Oval Framelits Dies.  They are just so useful, love them, especially the scalloped edge one.

The stamps we used were "Kindness Matters", "Summer Silhouettes" and a couple of greetings, the one on here is "Fabulous Phrases" which has been getting a lot of use, love how they work with the Word Window Punch.

My colour combo is Crumb Cake, Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette and Pool Party, all teamed with Very Vanilla.

A bit of handcutting involved with the flowers and butterflies, but worth the effort.

I had seen a card on the internet, but with no instructions so I set to work trying to figure it out, and finally got there!  Just a few score lines and hey presto!

here's the inside/reverse

Loving the Vellum Cardstock at the moment, here we used it to create a subtle belly band.

Hope you like, will be back with the other projects soon.

Kindness Matters

I thought I would share a recent card I made for April's team promotions.

 

I used the "Kindness Matters" stamp set which is so delicate and pretty.

My colour combo is Soft Suede, Marina Mist and Very Vanilla.

I have used Marker Pens to ink the Butterflies stamp then punched it out with the XL Oval Punch, layering onto ovals cut using the Ovals Framelits Dies.  Love the Designer Frames Embossing Folder that works so perfectly with the other ovals.

 

 

A little daubing in Soft Suede helps the Butterflies oval stand out a little.  Adore the Fancy Fan embossing folder, definitely one of my favourites.

 

The lovely patterned paper is from the "Natural Composition" pack, each sheet has patterns on which look like they have been clear embossed, so stunning in real life.  The border was created using the Dotted Scallop border punch, love the cute little scallops with holes in!

 

Have a busy few days of planning ahead but hope to be back with you soon!
