We had some choices for our product focus this month...and I chose the Circle of Spring Stamp Set...a set that I've loved since the beginning but didn't use much. Don't know why...inking it up again has made me love it all over again! I love that the sentiments are so soft and sweet. I love that the set coordinates with the Wonderful Wreath Framelits Dies. And then...there's the wreath. Aack...so much to love! First, it's just perfect for everything spring. Then...it so lends itself to just about any treatment you might imagine. Use Stampin' Emboss Powder. Color it with Stampin' Write Markers. Stamp it on Watercolor Paper and let your watercoloring skills shine! Die cut it...or not. Add die cut flowers and or ribbon to give it a bit of dimension...or not. See...so many options!
I also chose to focus on our Gift Box Punch Board...and Kraft Cardstock. I've always loved Kraft Cardstock...it's truly a staple that I couldn't do without. And...in my humble opinion...there's no more versatile packaging option than a kraft box. I literally refer to Kraft Cardstock and the Gift Box Punch Board as the perfect couple. Together I can create a box in just about any size...in minutes...for any occasion.
So...first, a card...
with lots of layers...and textures...and colors!
And then...of course...a gift box to match!
And...I have to add a final design note...Project Life by Stampin' Up! card collections and accessory packs can add such fresh, fun details to any project. I've used the Memories in the Making Project Life Card Collection for a pop of color behind the embossed wreath in both the card and the gift box tag...
and the sequins in the Moments Like These Accessory Pack were the perfect muted blue for my card!
If you're hopping from the beginning you've come from the talented Steffi, and I know you'll want to see what the amazing Susan has for you!
As always...
fun and colorful - I love it!
