Today the All That Scraps DT gals are reviewing stamps for the June release on the ATS blog, HERE.  I used the new Amy R Magical Wishes set…very fun sentiments for in and out!

I used the new Magnolia Doohickey’s  flower petals die from the Butterfly Dreams Tree die set for my flower… cut three, layered them up and a Lasting Impressions brad in the center.   The leafy branch on the front is a Sizzix Sizzlet die,  the leafy branch on the inside is from the Magnolia Doohickey’s Bon Voyage Foliage set.

I used the October Afternoon Thrift shop 8×8 paper pad, flower paper is from the Campfire pad,  some SU stripe twill, some Technique Tuesday twill, some cotton cord, a button,  some flower trim I purchased on etsy a couple years ago (I found it when I was going through a pile a couple weeks ago – that’s why we make piles… it’s so fun to find stuff later!!! lol),  Hero Arts small pearls, another Magnolia Doohickey’s die from the Butterfly Dreams collection called Dream tag and a scallop circle nestabilities die.

Linking my card to some challenges… Paper Sundaes Challenge blog – girly girl is the theme… Stamp Something Challenge blog – something punched (or die cut)… Stamp With Fun Challenge blog – pearls and flowers…

A “pizza box”!!! lol  Here’s how to make it on SCS,  HERE.  At first I couldn’t think of what to put inside but then it hit me that  4×4 gift cards and envelopes would be great in there!  I did make my box larger than the pattern on SCS. Mine is 4.5 x 4.5 finished and I used a 6.5 x 12 piece of double sided pattern paper from the Butterfly Garden by Pink Paislee collection.  I also used the 6×6 matching pad for “parts”.

Four gift cards and envelopes… I used my MS scoreboard envelope maker… LOVE that thing!  CC Designs rubber stamps… links below.

Close up of how I colored the birdhouse!  I wanted it to look really rustic…eek!  it does! lol  I used Distress ink pads and Ranger Cut ‘n Dry nibs and just colored it in… quite easy… vintage photo, walnut stain,  pumice stone, weathered wood, aged mahogany, peeled paint, pine needle, mustard seed…I had FUN!  I used a crackle stamp from Magenta on a couple of the stamped images and on the Swirly Butterfly die cut.

I thought it needed an easier way to get it open,  so I got out a circle punch and punched in a bit so it’s real easy to get open now.  *here’s a tip for you though*  Punch the circle before you tape/glue it into the box shape!  *’nother tip* STAMP before you tape/glue it into the box!!!  YEP,  rather tricky stamping on a flimsy box!
