Recycled Gift Box by Ellen Haxelmans

A Special gift for mom!

Today Ellen has created fun and unique gift box as a special gift for mom!

To create this box, she simply carefully took apart a box with printing on it and turned it inside out to use the blank inside as the outside. She then decorated it, using our Trailing Leaves Stencil to add pretty pink leaves all over the front. She then used dies from our  Flower Trio Die Set (retiring), Frames Squared Die Set and Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set to create the fun center image on the box. 

Last, she added a tag using our Tags Times Two Die Set and Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. She stamped the "to my mom" using our Best Mom Oval Stamp Set to decorate the tag. 

What a fun way to make a special customized box! You don't need a special die set, just use what you have on hand and get creative!

Grateful Fall Card by Samantha Mann

Grateful Fall Card

Today we are sharing this amazing Autumn card by Samantha! This beautiful card would be perfect for letting someone know how grateful you are for them this Fall!

To create this beautiful card she started by ink blending a background in gorgeous purples and oranges for Fall. Then she used our Fall Roundabout Stamp Set and embossed the big leaf image in white over the top to create that gorgeous fall background! What a fabulous idea for creating a pattern. Then she used three leaves from our Autumn Leaves Die Set to die cut leaf silhouettes out of a white cardstock panel. She removed the die cuts and just used the outside paper to make the gorgeous frame, layering it over that inked and stamped background! Gorgeous! 

She added a bit of twine across the top and added more leaves, some cut out using our Autumn Leaves Die Set and some using our Flower Trio Die Set, cut from decorative vellum paper. She also added a long tag using the "grateful for you" sentiment from the Fall Roundabout Stamp Set, embossed in white onto a stitched banner from our Banner Trio Die Set. 

Are you inspired by this fun Autumn Card by Samantha? We hope you will try to use our Roundabout Stamp Sets to make background on your cards too!

Thank You Card by Maria Russell

Thank You Card for Someone Amazing

Has someone done something special to make your day? Let them know with a lovely handmade card like this one by Maria! 

To create this beautiful floral bouquet she used the big blooms from our Lovely Blooms Stamp Set. She colored a big yellow Hydrangea bloom and several swirly roses to create her bouquet. She included some stamped leaves and additional die cut leaves using our Flower Trio Die Set. After the images were cut out with the coordinating Lovely Blooms Die Set, she arranged them in a cluster over the top of the jar, also from the Lovely Blooms Stamp Set. Inside the jar you can see the flower stems along with some chunky glitter for added sparkle. 

She arranged everything on a white card base, leaving room for the sentiment on the bottom. For the sentiment she chose the "thank you for being so amazing!" from our Best Mom Oval Stamp Set. She colored the letters in the word "amazing" in rainbow colors too for another special finishing touch!

This card is sure to make the recipient feel special!

Welcome Spring Lily Card by Maria Russell

Welcome Spring!

Are spring flowers in bloom where you live yet? Today we inspired by spring flowers on this gorgeous card by Maria! She has created a gorgeous lily card featuring our Lilies and a cheerful spring theme!

For the lilies, she stamped the bouquet from our Easter Lily Stamp Set twice and colored it in lovely tones of pink, adding speckles too! She cut the images out using the coordinating Easter Lily Die Set. 

To create the lovely slimline card, she cut out the scallop edged panel using the largest die from our Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set. She masked the edges and then filled the inside of the shape with that lovely pattern using our Basketweave Stencil with light blue ink. Then she added a floral bouquet to each side. She also added some die cut green leaves using our Flower Trio Die Set, added behind each bunch of flowers. For the sentiment in the center, she stamped "Welcome Spring" from our Spring Roundabout Stamp Set and embossed it in white. The black banner was die cut out using our Banner Trio Die Set. 

Here is a close up so you can see the incredible coloring on those blooms!!

This card is perfect for sending a cheerful spring hello!

If Friends Were Flowers Card by Larissa Heskett

If Friends were Flowers...

Sometimes it's fun to create a card using almost exclusively die cuts! That is what Larissa is sharing today! She started out by creating a long skinny card featuring our new slimline die sets. She used our new Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set to cut the scalloped panel in the back, cut from woodgrain paper and the panel in the front with the three portholes, cut from word patterned paper. In between those two layers she added a stitched frame that was cut out using our Slimline Frames & Windows Die Set.

To add some flowers to her card, she used our Flower Trio Die Set to cut flowers and leaves out of flocking sheets. The little glittery butterflies were stamped using our Monarchs Stamp Set and cut out with the coordinating Monarchs Die Set.

She added a gem in the flower centers and glitter to the butterflies for bits of sparkle:

She added the sentiment into the center circle, stamped from our Newton's Flower Garden Stamp Set:
