Envelope Punch Board hexagon box CTC#19 and FMS175

Very quick post today as life has been disrupted her for the last week after Cyclone Marcia swept through our town. We were so fortunate not to have any major damage, but it has been very hot without power for 6 days.
CTC asks us to use new buttons and ribbon from the Sale-a-Bration catalogue, and I used the FMS sketch as the inspiration for the gift tags to go with the gift boxes, although I flipped it upside down.

FMS #175 using You Brighten my Day
EDITED on 13/03

EDITED 01/03 I have had several requests for the instructions on how to make this box. I wish I could say I designed it but I can't take that credit. I found the inspiration on Pinterest (source of many wasted moments but masses of inspiration!) and I would like to thank the lovely Debbie Henderson who put together a tutorial. you can see it here-
I do have lots of great pins of tutorials etc and you can follow me on Pinterest, and I also have a Facebook page -Lillybet's Papers where I post some of my creations etc.
I am thrilled to say that theses boxes were the winning entry on CASEing the Catty last week. It really is a great source of  inspiration, you should check out the design team entries and join in!

    STUNNING projects. It's amazing you were able to create so many beautiful gift boxes amidst the chaos and loss of power. Good to read your household didn't suffer any major damage. Thanks for really going all out to join us at CTC this week.

    Sorry to hear of your lack of power after the cyclone, it would make life very difficult. You make such beautiful cards, and these tags and boxes are no exception. Thanks for joining in at CTC again.

    Thankyou all for your lovely comments. Life without power has been a reminder of how fortunate we all are to live in such an amazing country, and we have seen the best and the worst of people as you do in any crises. I did miss crafting- especially as i had so much planned for this week, but first world problems…. thankyou all for the inspiration from CASE-ing the Catty.

New In colour 2025-2027 cards and the FABULOUS Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

Don't you love it when a single product creates enough elements to decorate a bunch of cards at one time? The Extraordinary Flora Washi tape is one of those products. I created these for my upcoming Catalogue Launch. I put the Washi onto Basic Beige to cut these flowers and love how it coordinates with the Basic Beige card base. To create these cards I trimmed 2.5cm from the front edge and adhered a 3.5cm strip of DSP to the inside of the card to give an added layer. These were easy to put together. Darling Duckling Secret Sea Strawberry Slush Timid Tiger Cloud Clover June 3 - 30 Stampin Up has an amazing offer where you can get 50% off any second product from a suite. So for example if you were to purchase the Extraordinary Flora Die you would be able to buy the tape at 50% off. Please reach out if you want more information on this great deal. You can see all the available suites in my online store. I am loving all the new colours.  I hope you have a creative week and remember,...

GDP #277 a gorgeous colour combination with Pretty Perennials

The Pretty Perennials Stampset is gorgeous to use on its own but the floral dies really do add a little something special. My card this week matches the colour challenge at the Global Design Project. I have stamped directly onto the Oh so Ombre DSP which is a free Sale A Bration item with a qualifying purchase for the rest of this month. I love the tone on tone stamping for added depth. I have gone over the Happy with Wink of Stella but it's not easy to photograph. The teeny heart is a teeny leftover of some retired Blushing Bride Glimmer paper and I have also incorporated other retired embellishments like the library clip and crystal button - I do love to use them up. Pink and florals - a perfect match. Here's what I used. Product List Pretty Perennials Photopolymer Stamp Set [ 154435 ] $31.00 Pretty Perennials Bundle [ 156234 ] $78.25 Oh So Ombre 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper [ 155225 ] $0.00 Roco...

CTC#48 Who doesn't love new DSP

Welcome back to CASEing the Catty for this round. You may have come from Rachel's beautiful project  or you maybe starting here. There are lots of great posts to visit. This week we are using new Designer Series paper from the Holiday Catalogue - and who doesn't love a pack of new paper? The problem of course is which one to choose.... followed by the problem of actually having to CUT into a pristine pack. ....I know you all know what I mean. I have lots of photos for you today to try and show off some of the designs, but it's not easy to capture and they always look so much better in real life. I have purchased two packs - the Happy Haunting pack on page 47, which I was inspired to get purely from the background piece on the Lighthearted Leaves card on page 44. I don't celebrate Halloween, nor am I usually all that partial to Orange shades, but maybe that's changing! because I really like the designs. The pack has several papers that are specifically...
