Happy Birthday Shadowbox gift box

I hope that you all had a chance to hop with us this week to see all the new shadowbox dies from Becca Feeken and also see what amazing things that you can do with them.  There are so many gorgeous ones and again it's always hard to chose which one to use.  

Today i picked the 1/2 frame to create one of those beautiful gift card boxes to put a necklace in for a friends birthday coming up.  I also used some brand new papers from Kaisercraft with muted brown grey tones and ivory papers and i think they really set the dies off beautifully.  It was really fun to mix up these prints and embossed papers with all this new die goodness.

For the top of my card i started off with hemstitch rectangles and the layered on top of that one of the new dies called "Shapeabilities Lisette Oval Shadowbox Frame Etched Dies Shadowbox by Beeca Feeken"

This beautiful die set comes with 3 layers of dies and also that pretty decorative piece that i used to tuck in the sides.  Each layer i carefully popped up with 3D foam dots and the stamp is from Penny Black.

For my box base i created a frame the same size as the outside of my card edges.  I cut a piece of card stock to use for the underneath layer of the base and then cut another piece to fold over the top for the card to attach to.  Inside i added the rose paper to line the box and bias tape ribbon to match and also lots of flowers that i made with the new cinch and go flower die.  It's like a box filled with roses :)  

These are such a fun way to give a gift card or a special gift for someone.  I can't say enough

good things about all of these new dies.  You are really going to have fun with this!!

Enjoy your Sunday.... Happy Crafting!!

A Grateful Heart

Hi everyone... i hope that you had the chance to join us for our hop this week to preview Becca Feekens newest line of die called Romancing the Swirl.  Each of us had the chance to use a few of the new dies to create something special to share with all of you, and wow was it ever fun!  And now we all get to mix and match and create even more inspiration for you.  

My die i chose for this week is called "Card Creator A2 Corner Cotillion Etched die set".  In this set you get this beautiful swirled back round die and the center oval and also some brand new flower dies.  I wanted to do something a little different with this one so i used muted tones of ivory and yellow and then added in some tan card stock to match a bit of print that i used for the base of the card behind the sentiment.  This really popped out the colors.

And then for the sentiment i used a matching brown ink to stamp the beautiful sentiment and inked the inside rim of the die ever so slightly with tea stained ink and a sponge dauber to give it more depth.  All the flowers are handmade so the colors for them matched perfectly with all the other gorgeous pieces in the set.  This is one of my favorites and i have lots more to share in the weeks ahead so be sure and check back soon!

Have a wonderful day .....  Teresa

A wedding gift for you

Today i have a fun post to share that i just did using some of my favorite dies from Becca Feeken and Spellbinders.  This month our team is sharing lots of ideas using border and corners so i thought i would try and use the pieces as ornamental designs using the same color paper to make a box and a card to give for a wedding gift.  This is alot like my recipe box i did but i tried to use as much white as i could and then just add bit of pink for the flower and ribbons to give it just a hint of color.

The card was really fun and easy to make.  I started with the center die and put the corners around it to get my size for the card middle.  Then i cut out the center die like you see above to layer with.  The beautiful corners i cut out of white paper to match and glued them on all four sides around the center die cut.  I think it really shows them off and adding 3D foam dots between the layers makes the center die really stand out with the white.  That cute little "For You tag" is from the Tiny Tags and sentiment set and i stamped it with vintage sepia Versafine ink to make it crisp and nice.

And my wedding gift card box was really easy and fun to make.  I used both sets of the corners on the top and the sides because of the sizes on the top and sides of the box are different.  Both are a perfect match and i added the same circle die from Marcheline Plume as the card and then leaves and that tiny heart swirl on the front from the corners.  Oh how i love to mix and match all my beautiful dies from Becca!! It's amazing how all of them work so wonderfully together.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop over today...
and don't be shy i would love to hear from you and where you craft in our amazing world!
