Frosted Floral Box

O M G! The new Autumn / Winter 2018 Catalogue has some of the most gorgeous suites and this one has to be my own personal highlight. When looking at the Designer Series Paper (DSP) in the catalogue or online, you do not see the sheer beauty of this paper series. If there’s any paper series that you love so much that you don’t want to cut into it, then it’s this one. The picture below shows you the sheer beauty of the paper with its pearlescent shine.

Gorgeous, isn’t it? Because of its sheer beauty, I wanted to showcase the paper so that it took centre stage, rather than cutting it into small pieces and using as card fronts. This box is a good size measuring 4″ x 7″ and a lovely 2″ deep. The decoration is simplistic, ensuring the focus remains on the paper. Some of the new cord has been added, which in my opinion is better than any of the cords Stampin’ Up! have previously had.

The sentiment may as well be speaking about the paper, but of course, can be about the intended recipient! Absolutely gorgeous!

Best Wishes,
Suzanne

Baby Elephant Congratulations

Aww, look at the baby elephant! How cute is this set? And the awesome-ness doesn’t stop there! This gorgeous elephant comes in a bundle including stamp set and punch and teamed with the Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper (DSP), you have endless opportunities for baby related projects.

On this project, I let the paper lead the inspiration and the ideas flowed into this card. Both a pink and a blue one were made and both of them look absolutely gorgeous as the products co-ordinate so well.

The elephants are perfect for cards, boxes, bags, frames – the list is endless! I’m sure you would agree.

Best Wishes,
Suzanne

Twinkle Twinkle Bag

Ahhhhhhh, how cute is the elephant in this stamp set? I absolutely adore it and the best part – it comes with a baby elephant too! Now of course, you can’t have a baby elephant without making something baby related.. and that’s what I’ve done here.

Originally, this was meant to be a 4″ x 4″ x 4″ box with a lid. But as you’ll see from my video, that quickly changed when I randomly pitched the box base and turned it into a wide bag. It’s amazing how these ideas come to you at the most random times.

A full punched holes and some gorgeous striped ribbon and we have a bag that can house a fair number of sweet treats for mum, booties or bibs for baby or even a mixture of the two?

Best Wishes,
Suzanne
