craftykarendesigns: True Beauty - Stamp Around UK Video Hop

Hi Everyone,

This month's theme for Stamp Around UK is 'Clean & Simple' and I have made a matching card and gift bag. I've used the True Beauty bundle and one of the Embossed Treat Bags and 2 of the current in-colours - Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party. There is a video tutorial link below so you can see how I made them.

Video Tutorial

Materials

1 piece of thick white card 5 7/8" x 8 1/4", 1 piece 4" x 5 3/4"

Scraps of basic white for stamping and die cuts

True Beauty stamp set

Organic Beauty dies

Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine

Tahitian Tide ink

Parakeet Party ink

Iridescent Pearls

1 Embossed Treat Bag

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Multipurpose Adhesive

Dimensionals

Alphabest Punch

Tahitian Tide Ribbon

Mini glue dots

Instructions

On the long side score the largest piece at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Using the Simply Scored, score 3 lines on each of the 4 sides at 1/4" intervals to make a frame. Turn over and use the side with the raised lines as the top.

Stamp a sentiment at the bottom of the inside frame (see picture).

Stamp 2 flowers and 2 sets of leaves on the scrap white card and then die cut.

Add the embossed layer to the card front using dimensionals and then add the flower in the centre of the embossed frame also using dimensionals. Add some iridescent pearls as shown in the picture.

I also stamped a sentiment on the inside and added two of the extra flowers that I had stamped and die cut.

Add a flower to the front of the treat bag using dimensionals to match the card. Stamp a sentiment on a scrap of white and punch out with the Alphabest Punch and add to the side of the flower. Tie a small bow and add with a mini glue dot.
