Succulent Garden

I made this card box to use as a Christmas gift and filled it with some cards of various occasions.  It is a metal box (maybe called a recipe box?) and I covered it with the Succulent Garden designer series paper from the Occasions catalog. 

I have used these boxes a few times over the years and at one point made a template for cutting out the handle holes on the top of the box - that sure makes putting the designer series paper on a lot faster!

I added some Sweet Sugarplum ruched ribbon and some Old Olive cotton ribbon around the box, added some designer buttons to cover up where the ribbon ended and then did a little decorating on the front with the Blooms and Wishes stamp set.

Supplies:

Blooms and Wishes

Sweet Sugarplum ink

Whisper White, Sweet Sugarplum card stock

2" and 2 1/2" circle punches

tea paper lace doily

enamel dots

designer buttons

ruched ribbon

cotton ribbon

Succulent Garden dsp

tear and tape adhesive

One Tiny Word



This card started out with the pieces of Pool Party card stock that were in my scrap pile.  I decided to add some washi tape to one of the pieces and some Wildflower Fields dsp (SAB 2016) behind it before adding it to a card base.

 



 

Then I stamped the side with an image from Stamp A Bag and added the sentiment and some designer buttons.

 

I love playing with the scraps, I just end up with way too many of them :)

 

Supplies:

One Big Meaning, Stamp a Bag

Pool Party, Old Olive ink

Whisper White, Pool Party, card stock

washi tape

designer buttons

 

Time for Tea

 

In the past I have shared projects created with the little wooden box that we get each year with cheese inside from a potato customer in Wisconsin.  I have made a little card box and created cards that fit perfectly inside and also a little box for my daughter to keep her small scrapbooking supplies in.

 

This time around I chose the stamp set a Nice Cuppa and paired it with the rest of the bundle that you can find here.

 

 

 

I first die cut quite a few pieces from the Cups and Kettles dies and then I added a few embellishments or stamped images to them.

 

Then, I added my matted designer series paper to the sides and top of the box.

 

After adding the elements to the designer series paper, I took some cotton paper and used it like tissue paper on the inside before adding a few bags of tea.

 

It will come I handy for a door prize at a future Stamp A Stack!
