Fabulous Flowers

So onto the exciting part...the STUFF!!!!! This first is probably my favourite set of cards I have ever made...I love the Pink Pirouette and the softness that's balanced by the Kiwi Kiss and of course the absolutley delicious flowers from Amy Waters which I've also seen on Dawn McVey's site but can't find the actual link to (check out ALL her stuff - its amazing!!!) Amy actually has a great tutorial for making these flowers and I think they are just gorgeous and really really simple so make sure you check it out...

So this is a little set of 4 cards with matching envelopes (made by cutting down a closed Stampin Up envelope and adding a piece of DSP to create the flap - love love love making these envelopes to match my card!). The box is actually the piece of white cardboard that's slipped into the back of the packs of DSP (Designer Series Paper) and its really nice and thick and sturdy for making boxes. The box is actually an origami box (just type origami box into a search engine and you'll find a tutorial - super super easy, no cutting of sticking just folding) and then I've used a piece of Kiwi Kiss cardstock covered with a strip of Kiwi Kiss DSP as the handle. The gorgeous little buttons have just been attached using Mini Glue Dots - my new love - normally I would attach bottons with a glob of Pritt but I LOVE using these glue dots! Super strong and super easy!

And here is a close up of the card - I used different sentiments all from the free Sale-a-bration
stamp set 'Whimsical Words'...

Now to decide who to give it to!!!! xxx
