Twofer

Thank you for all your positive comments in my last post.  Day 8 today, still testing positive, so still self-isolating. 

I CASE'd this project HERE to make my crate of spring flowers.  I used flower and leaf dies and a sentiment stamp from the Lisa Horton's first box kit.  I added some clear gems in the middle of the flowers.  The flowers are attached to strips inside the crate, the same as in a Pop-up Box card.


I am joining in the following challenges:


A quick and simple Christmas card today, upcycling a shop bought card we received last Christmas.  I cut the card into a square and corner rounded the corners.  The background is gold mirror card from the Scrapstore, die cut into into a scalloped square using a Lisa Horton's  'Stitched Scallop Layered Squares' die.  Must be the quickest card I've ever made and only cost me the price of the card blank.

I am joining in the following challenges:

  4. Wow Liz, this is fantastic and so pretty with all the different coloured flowers inside. I don't think I will be attempting this myself as there are so many pieces (I took a look at the Wendy's blog to see the 'how to') and you have followed the steps brilliantly and made this beautiful creation. x

  14. Your flower obox ard is lovely but I think the recycled Christmas card is splendid. I always try to recycle a few that we receive, but this year not many lent themselves to doing it. This is very efective and has made a lovely card.
    Hope you are better (negative) soon. I have managed to evade the virus so far, but on Tuesday i am going to Uk to meet my now one year old grand-daughter for the first time, and to see all my boys, so I will be very, very, careful, and hopefully I will continue to avoid it! Kate x
