Beautiful stamped background

Who doesn't love the Beautiful Friendship stamp set?  I really enjoyed stamping this beautiful background on a full sheet of A4 Whisper White card,  there is a photo further down of the stamped A4 sheet before I cut it up to use on three cards.

After stamping the background, I cut the card in half lengthways, giving me 2 pieces 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", then I cut one of the pieces in half to use on these two A6 cards (UK sizes).  I just added greetings, a few gems and a bow to complete the cards.  I used my marker to add black dots to the card on the left.   

I used the remaining 4 1/8" x 11 3/4" piece on this double easel card. Measurement are:

Base card: Whisper White Thick, 4 1/8" x 11 1/2" folded in half to make a tent fold card
Grapefruit Grove for the matting: 3 7/8" x 11 1/2" scored at 5 1/2" and 8 1/2"
Stamped background: cut the remaining 4 1/8' length down to 3 3/4". Then cut into 3 pieces as follows: one piece measuring 3 3/4" x 5 1/4" and two pieces measuring 3 3/4" x 2 3/4"

Magnolia Card and Gift Box

Today's projects feature two of my top 10 products in the 2019-2020 annual catalogue. I love magnolias and at last, a box that actually closes securely. Plus, it folds flat for storage, bonus. I know I used a belly band on this occasion but only because I wanted to add the magnolia as a decorative element. It was easier to attach to a band

The card is pretty simple, the magnolia says it all really. I just added some pretty Petal Pink Organdy Striped ribbon to finish the card.  The die set includes 3 x 3-petal dies, I used 2 of the largest and one each of the medium and smallest dies for the flower. I lightly sponged the centers of each in Petal Pink before adhering the layers.

I stamped on Petal Pink card in Mossy Meadow before die cutting the 2 pieces needed to make the box. All products used are listed below.

Stitched Lace 'floating frame' cards

Apologies, it's been a while since I last posted any projects.  It doesn't mean I haven't been busy stamping.  Last night I had a play with the Stitched Lace dies and the Daisy Lane bundle, both new in the 2019-2020 annual catalogue.

I have been wanting to do the 'floating dies' technique and so came up with a simplified version, sort of, using just the lace die for the 'floating' elements.

I used Purple Posy card for the base cards and Whisper White for the lace frame/topper. The daisies were heat embossed in white on Purple Posy card.  The leaves are in Highland Heather, punched out with the leave punch.
