Dressed to Impress meets Ornate Frames for a gorgeous hand made box!

These are the boxes I included in my Spring Retreat last month.  I think they're gorgeous and was so happy with how they turned out!

They're hand made from White and Lovely Lipstick card stock with fussy cut flowers and leaves from the Best Dressed designer series paper added to the top. The greeting is from the Dressed to Impress stamp set. The pretty die-cuts are from the Ornate Frames & Ornate Border dies which are now available again!  See them here. 

Here's a picture of the assembly process:

Here are the box dimensions:

  • Top is 3 3/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 3/4" on all sides
  • Bottom is 3 5/8" X 5 3/8" and scored at 3/4" on all sides.  

Tips:

  • Once you have the box pieces cut and scored you can use the Ornate Border dies to die-cut the pretty windows in the sides.  
  • Cut the White frame using the Ornate Frames dies. Stamp the greeting and add fussy cut leaves and flowers. 
  • Fill with chocolate!

  • Quick All Aflutter card with the Extraordinary Washi tape

    Here’s a sweet card made with both the All Aflutter bundle and the Extraordinary Washi tape:

    My colors include Calypso Coral, Old Olive and White. The Arches dies used in White here give a wonderful focal point to highlight the butterflies, greeting and flowers from the Washi tape. Unfortunately they are out of stock currently; but see them here and put your email in to get notified when they’re back in stock.

    The background texture on the Old Olive layer is the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder. This folder is super popular and out of stock right now. Again, please add your email to be notified when it’s available.

    I love the Extraordinary Washi tape with coordinating die. You can cut out lots of colored flowers and leaves with ONE CUT! I save the extras to use them when I need just a little something extra. See the Washi tape here (you get 10 yards!) and the coordinating die-cut here. There’s also a bundle you can get here; it includes both the stamps and die-cut.

    It’s simple to use this washi tape! Start by adhering a strip of it to white card stock (vellum or window sheet also works). Then use the die-cut to cut all of the pieces out.

    My colors include Darling Duckling, Blueberry Bushel with White. Wonderfully bright for summer! I used quite a few products here so I’ll list them for you.

    • All Aflutter stamp and dies bundle seen here
    • Darling Duckling 12 X 12″ Two-toned card stock
    • Irresistible specialty designer paper seen here
    • Lazy Daisy & Floral Spray 3D embossing folders
    • 1 3/4″ and 2″ circle punches
    • Blending Brushes
    • a sanding block
    Save

    The Irresistible designer paper is cut into a 3 3/4″ square and scored in the center diagonally. It’s adhered to the back of the Blueberry Bushel card base before that is adhered to the larger Darling Duckling CS.

    There are three patterns in this specialty Irresistible designer paper you can see here. When you add ink to this specialty paper it reveals the white shiny pattern.

    You can see the two patterns I used on my card here.

    And here’s the other version. Note both the blue Irresistible patterns and the embossing folders.

    After we textured the 2-toned Darling Duckling card stock we sanded it with a sanding block (from my husband’s shop) to reveal more of the White core.

    You can see the All Aflutter bundle here. I love having butterfly images with a coordinating punch! See it here.
