My girls are at an age where they like to give items of jewellery as gifts for friends, so I decorated this teeny little box with some bright papers to make the gift a bit more special. I started with a clear pillow box, added a strip of purple cardstock with a decorative edge, some very bright stripey paper, a beautiful satin bow, a flower and lastly a little tag. It couldn't be cuter! If I had more patience, these would make terrific wedding favours - but you know me - I’m a one-off type of gal.

Floral wire 

Floral tape - narrow and wide gauge 

 Step 1: 

Die cut a variety of spiral blossoms. Adhere floral wire to the end of the spiral and poke hole into the base. Allow to dry, then thread the wire into the hole before rolling up the flower and securing with adhesive. Repeat for each flower. 

 Step 2: 

Cut the foliage die cut into individual leaves. Adhere matching leaves back to back, with a section of thin wire sandwiched between them. Create curls by wrapping wire around a pencil.

 Step 3: 

Gather your first 2-3 pieces and begin wrapping floral tape from the top down, to secure them together. 

 Step 4: 

Add extra flowers, leaves and curls one a time, including it into the floral tape.

 Step 5: 

Continue until all your pieces have been included into the vine. Adhere the floral tape at the end. 

 Step 6:

 Use wire cutters to trim the base of the vine. Manipulate each piece by bending the wire until you are happy with the way the vine sits.

We recently attended a wedding where they had a photobooth for the guests' entertainment. Oh boy did we have some fun with it! For this layout, I made a stencil with the Grateful Lattice die, and sponged some white paint through it. I then added spatters of pink and silver Glimmermist to complete the background. This all fits with the 'messy' mood of the photos. I cut away some of the edge with the zig-zag Edgeabilities die to leave me room for a little journaling.

This is our second post today, please scroll down for another lovely card from Teresa.

This card has been given an plush look with copious buttons and just a touch of bling. The embossed calico piece adds interest too. I glued the fabric to some cardstock, then embossed it as the fabric obviously won't hold its shape on its own.
