Poinsettia Petals Tall Box - The Spot Challenge #126 Anything But a Card

 Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to be sharing with you my project for this week's creative challenge over at The Spot.  This week we are doing a fun little creative challenge and the theme is Anything But a Card.  So I created a fun Christmas themed project for you today.  I used the products from the Poinsettia Place Suite to create my project.  Here's a look at what I came up with.  


I used a piece of Old Olive Cardstock to create the tall gift box.  My cardstock measures 8 1/2" x 10 1/2".  Once I had everything scored I added two pieces of the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper to two pieces of Real Red Cardstock.  I attached these two pieces to the panel that will be in the front and the back.  I stamped the large, medium, and small poinsettias onto Real Red Cardstock in Real Red Ink and used the matching dies to cut each layer out.   I layered each layer up with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  


Once I had the Poinsettia flower put together I added one of the Beaded Pearls to the center of the flower.  I then added it to the front of the box with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I then stamped the sentiment in Old Olive Ink onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock and punched it out with the Everyday Label Punch.  


Here's the inspiration for this week's challenge.

Thanks a Bunch - Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle

 Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share a simple little card using the Celebrate Sunflower bundle from the 2020-2021 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  I love the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle and I think that it's perfect all year long.  Here's a look at my card.  


I started my card with a piece of Rich Razzleberry Cardstock cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2".  I then added a piece of Just Jade Cardstock to the card base.  Before adding the Just Jade cardstock I used the Greenery Embossing Folders to emboss the cardstock.  I then used the large sunflower die from the Sunflowers Dies from Bumblebee Cardstock.  I used Early Espresso for the center.  I attached a strip of the 2020-2022 In Color Designer Series Paper to the card front.  The entire card front was attached to the card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  


I then stamped my sentiment onto a 3/4" piece of Whisper White in Basic Gray Ink.  I used the Lovely Label Pick A Punch to punch the ends.  I finished off the card by adding a flat knot with the White Crinkle Seam Binding and a few of the Just Jade Enamel Dots from the 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots.  


Thanks for dropping by today I hope that you have a wonderful day.  If you need any of the supplies that you have seen today you can pick them up in my online store.  You will find a full list of the supplies in my Shopping List below.
