Mini Paper Pumpkin Box of Thank You Cards

 Hi Everyone,



Today I am taking part in Kylie's Monthly International Blog Highlights and the theme is 'Thank You'. I have made a box of Thank You cards showcasing our new Paper Pumpkin Box and our Notecards and Envelopes decorated with lots of pretty flowers and leaves.  I hope that you like it and will pop over to the Gallery and give me a vote and check out the fabulous projects from all over the world.  I would love to be able to take part in the Blog Hop for the Winners with Kylie at the end of the month. Let me show you how I made it:

Materials

1 Mini Paper Pumpkin Box
4 Notecards and Envelopes
A selection of 6" x 6" designer series paper in colours of your choice (I have used 4 different colours)
Scrap card stock in the same colours as the dsp you have chosen (Seaside Spray, Daffodil Delight, Rococco Rose and Gorgeous Grape were my choices)
1/2 sheet of A4 whisper white for the labels
Inks to match the colours you have chosen
Scraps of silver foil
Small piece of silver edged white ribbon to tie a bow
Wreath Builder Dies
Confetti Flowers Border Punch
Forever Flourishing dies
Die cutting machine
Multipurpose adhesive
Mini dimensionals
Beauty Abounds stamp set
Butterfly Duet punch
Trimmer
Stitched so sweetly dies
Lovely Labels Pick a Punch

Instructions

To start with I die cut a whole load of flowers from the Wreath Builder dies in all the colours and leaves from the Forever Flourishing dies in silver foil and punched out lots of the flowers from the confetti border punch using silver foil as I wanted to use them for the flower centres.

Die cut the largest stitched rectangle die in one of each of the colours for the four cards and 1 additional one for the top of the box in your favourite of the colours.

Die cut four of the third largest stitched rectangle dies in whisper white.

For each card, I arranged some silver leaves towards the bottom of the whisper white label and then arranged two of the largest flowers in the same colour as the larger rectangle and four of the smaller flowers in the other colours on top of them with mini dimensionals. I then glued the tiny silver flowers to the centres of the flowers.

Stamp the sentiment towards the centre top of the label using the same colour as the dsp and the large flowers.

Arrange the dsp rectangle on the card front at an angle and then add the whisper white layer in the opposite direction as in the picture.

Repeat for the other three cards.

Make up the mini paper pumpkin box and cut another piece of designer series paper in a colour of your choice to fit the top (5 1/4" x 3 1/2").

Arrange more leaves and flowers on the remaining large stitched rectangle and then add this to the top of the box, leaving a border all around it.

On a 1/2" scrap of whisper white, stamp the sentiment in a co-ordinating colour and punch out with the Pick a Punch and tuck into the flowers on the top of the box to look like a tag.  Punch out three butterflies with the butterfly duet punch and arrange on tag and the top of the box as shown.

Make a bow with the piece of ribbon and attach to the top of the box.

I do hope that you like my project and will give it a try and please don't forget to vote by clicking the button above.

Happy crafting,
