Hello, Doily Projects!

Here's the other set of projects we made during Sunday's hostess club (if you didn't see the card we made yet, you can see that here): 

The little box is "CASED" from Stampin' Up!'s 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog -- there's an almost identical box on page 150, with some really cute flowers in it.  (If you are viewing the Idea Book online, it will actually be page 152 in your viewer.)   Here's a close up of my box:

The box is created using the Big Shot and the Fancy Favor Bigz XL Die.  We cut the box out of Textured Not Quite Navy Card Stock.  We inked up the Hello Doily stamp with Versamark, and heat embossed with White Stampin' Emboss® Powder. 

For the greeting, we used the Fabulous Phrases set, and stamped using Cajun Craze and Old Olive on a Whisper White piece punched out using the Extra-Large Oval Punch.  Behind that piece, we layered pieces cut from Cajun Craze Card Stock using the Lace Ribbon Border Punch.  And, that is all on top of a piece of Crumb Cake Card Stock punched out using the Decorative Label Punch.

The little flowers are an image from the Itty Bitty Bits stamp set, stamped in More Mustard and Cajun Craze Classic Ink, and then punched out with the coordinating Itty Bitty Shapes Punch.  We added a Pearl Jewel in the center, and a piece of Old Olive punched out with the branch from the Bird Builder Punch.  The ribbon on the side is 1/4" Bashful Blue Grosgrain. 

I designed a coordinating 3 x 3" notecard to go with this sweet little box -- here's a close up of that:
                                                                                                                                                               

For the notecard, we again used a Not Quite Navy Card Stock base, with the Hello Doily stamp embossed in White.  The greeting is again from Fabulous Phrases, stamped in Old Olive ink, and punched out with the Word Window Punch.  We layered two small flowers, left after we'd punched the Lace Ribbon Border Punch, behind the greeting.  Then, behind that is a piece of Crumb Cake punched out with the Modern Label Punch.  The flowers, branch, and ribbon are the same as on the Fancy Favor box above.

Hope you enjoyed these -- I think the Hello, Doily stamp set is so much fun!  And, if you haven't tried this color combo before, I'd recommend it!

Thanks for stopping by!
