apothecary accents | The Paper and Stamp Addict

I am in love with the Candlelight Christmas Specialty DSP in the Holiday Catalogue. It is just gorgeous!!!! There are two sheets of flocked window sheets which are just beautiful!!!

I cased today’s card from fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, Stephanie Robnett on a demo only facebook group. It’s not exactly the same but that doesn’t matter. I like it!!

I really love the Apothecary Accents framelits which I used to cut out the centre piece. They can even cut through the glimmer paper.

I coloured the flowers using blenders pens and ink pressed into the lid of the ink pad. I’m not very good at doing shading but I think I did ok on this one.

Stamp Set: Bells & Boughs

Ink: Black Staz-on, Real Red, Gumball Green

Paper: Naturals White, Candlelight Christmas Specialty DSP

Accessories: Big Shot, Apothecary Accents framelits, White organza ribbon, real red grosgrain ribbon, vintage brads, glimmer paper, blender pens.

The birthday box was the first one that I made. I’m really happy with how it turned out. I used my favourite framelits, Labels Collection and the co-ordinating stamp set, Apothecary Accents. You can’t really tell in the photo but I used the new Festive paper-piercing pack on the Midnight Muse layer. Such a nice touch!!

Here are the cards that I made to go into the box.

I used the same sketch for each card as it was easy to duplicate. I really like the Comfort Cafe DSP and how it matches with the new in-colours, Midnight Muse and Summer Starfruit.
