Sunflower Birthday Presents Card

Other Products: Vintage photo distress ink, brown cs, glue, hot glue gun, black memento ink, bandage, lace, rhinestones, pearlstring, ribbon, emboss and frantage powder, heat gun, 3d foam pads.

Instructions: This time I have created a lovely "presents card". The idea came from this Dutch site here. I know the sizes are in centimeters, but you can save the templates to your computer and just print them out in any size you want. It is nothing more than a basic easel card. I made the easel cards from brown cardstock and decorated with the beautiful Classic Sunflower Collection papers. The little presents were also made from brown cardstock and decorated with the design paper. I have glued the present that is on top of the card otherwise it might fall off:) and keep in mind you cannot fold this card.

Once you have adhered the design paper, you can start decorating your card, glue the presents where ever you want them. I used some die cuts and adhered them with tiny foam pads to create some depth. The little butterfly on the right has been cut out from the design paper. On the yellow sunflower I used a little bit of viva 3d paint stamp (hey I just bought it last week so I am carefully starting to play with it:)).

Instead of using a real Quartz Clock Mechanism I used the junkyyeard findings. I love the vintage style of these trinkets:) Start with choosing the design paper you wish to use from the Cut Mat and Create Paper Collection and cut the paper to fit all the clock elements. Cut some die cuts you wish to use and cut several flowers and swirls in from the Cut Mat and Create Collection die. Ink them in different colors that will match your chosen design paper. I also used one of the arianna lace dies to put behind one of the flowers :) The mdf clock plate was painted with acrylic paint, color: sugar. I also decorated the back of the clock so it will not look bored :) Once you have all your pieces together and cut out you can start decorating your clock.

Instructions: This time I decided to alter a cigar box :)) of course it will be stuffed with some sweets for the HC staff :P I painted the box first with acrylic paint and sprayed it with blue dysolusions spray, the inner box was also painted but no spray used. Then it is time to cut matching pieces from the Cut Mat and Create Paper Collection. As usual I inked all the edges first (also from the cigar box) I decorated the outside and inside of the box with the paper collection, cut a lot of flowers from the Arianna Blooms Dies and cut some decorative dies from the Cut Mat and Create Dies collection. For decoration I also used a small zipper and created a headpin. For the inside of the box I used lace for the inner edges.
