Strength and Hope - Scallop Envelope Box

Well this was a fun project as I'd not used the Scallop Envelope Die before, and I don't know that I would have thought to put four together to make this gorgeous box.

This would make a great table gift at weddings, or even Christmas if you changed to card and DSP to suit to occasion.

It is basically made from four scallop envelopes created using the Big Shot.  On each of the four envelopes once cut, trim off one of the side tabs (make sure it's the same side on all four), then sticky the other tab and work your way round connecting the envelopes together.  The flaps at the bottom don't quite meet up, so add a 3x3" panel of card to the bottom.  Once you've cut a strip of card and scalloped the edge with a border punch, you can decorate the rest however you like.  This one had panels of Springtime Vintage DSP added, plus some Pear Pizzazz 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon and of course the Strength and Hope Butterfly with some basic pearls.  So pretty..........

I'm already looking forward to the next Stampin Stars Team Training session in July!

Strength and Hope

Here are some more cards made using the Strength & Hope stamp set at the weekend.

The top of the Stampin' Up! family tree I am part of is Natalie O'Shea and she got inspiration for the following cards from a lady called Heather Summers.

There were five cards in the set to make, though I only made two of them on Saturday and bought the bits home to do the rest.  We had a fun packed day with so many bits and pieces to make, it was a busy training session.

The set of cards Natalie put together all used Rose Red, Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz and Very Vanilla which worked really well together.There were lots of butterflies to cut out and we used the Pear Pizzazz 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon on all of the designs too. 

I have one final 3D item that we made at training to show you, but I will save that for tomorrow.

Thanks xx
