8th Anniversary Celebration!

SplitcoastStampers is celebrating EIGHT years of the Ways To Use It Challenge! 

We are to use some things that relate to an eight year anniversary.
Flower - Lilac
Gemstone - Tanzania (light purple or blue color stone)
Traditional gifts - bronze or pottery
Modern gifts - linen or lace
The challenge is to make a card in the color purple family 

I just purchased the Norrland flower die by memory box. I absolutely love making flowers and the Norrland flower (I think) is lilac in color. I love the flowers on the creamy background to highlight the details. Happy Anniversary or Birthday!

Bridal Shower Favor Boxes

I’ve made 40 bridal shower favor boxes in lavender and white for a friend and thought that one birdcage favor box would go along with the heart closure boxes nicely.

I used Sizzix Pro die “box/heart closure” and Tim Holtz Caged Bird. I trimmed the heart box at the top so that the cage would fit. Tim Holtz/Sizzix tattered pinecone makes a mighty fine rose. The sentiment is from Verve.

Sizzix Bigz Pro Box w/Heart Closure die (die cut on Sizzix Big Shot Pro)

 Sizzix Tim Holtz Alternations Caged Bird

Trace around cage at top so cage will fit

Fussy cut to match shape of cage top

I used 1/2" red liner tape to tab to close sides of box

I used 1/8" red liner tape around cage to adhere

Punch small holes and add  ribbon

Easing into FALL!

The flower is Sizzix/Hero Arts stamp & die cut set

CC389 Bravo Regal Starfruit 
Designer Paper is from DCWV “Green Tea” stack.
The stamped image, sentiment and sentiment label
are from the SU “Just Believe” cling set. 

SCS Sketch Challenge 399 
I used Spellbinders' square and label dies 
for masks using both negative and positive. 
I used the square mask over the blank
panel to first stamp the image with 
Versamark and heat emboss with clear powder.
 I then used the label to mask a section for the sentiment
to stamp and sponge after the main panel.
The sentiment is Verve

 The Pumpkins are Stampabilities’ “Fall Holidays” clear stamp set, 
The fall spray is a Santa Rosa “Acorns & Wheat” wood mount, 
the sentiment is Verve’s Happy Fall set.
