Stamps (Hero Arts) - Blossom Art & Small Variety Alphabet
I white embossed the flowers on white card, applied shabby shutters & tumbled glass distress ink and spritzed lightly with water. Then I added some Hero Arts lace, pearls (thanks again, Sharon) and heart gems to the favour box and place card. A quick tutorial for the box is further down the post.
Then I decided to make a wedding candle.
Stamps (Hero Arts) - Blossom Art & Small Variety Alphabet
The flower is made in the same way as above. For the flower centre I embossed the couple's initials on a circle of kraft, lightly applied white chalk ink to the edge and added a couple of Hero Arts heart pearls.
Now to the gift box tutorial. I hadn't realised my writing is so small but you can click on the photos to get a clearer view! Cut two pieces of card 14cm x 14.5cm. Score at 3.5cm on three of the sides as in the photo below.
Cut out the two 3.5cm squares at the base of the pieces of card. Then adhere the two pieces of card together.
Flip the piece of card over and apply double sided sticky tape as shown in the photo below.
Adhere one side of the box together...
.. and then the other side.
When the box has been completed adhere a die cut piece of card to each side. I used the second biggest die from the Labels 8 set for my box but you can adjust the size of the box to fit any of these dies.
Hopefully it won't be as long till I post again! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend:)
Been missing you and your beautiful creations! Love this gorgeous set! Have a wonderful weekend, Heather!
