Exploding box

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

We have just returned from a fabulous holiday in Croatia. When we visited Rovinj we bought my Mother-in-Law a lovely owl filled with lavender. Now as you know, as a papercrafter you can't give someone a present with making a box or bag to 'wrap' it in.  This is the exploding box I made for the owl.

This is a closer view of the lid.

And here is the inside and the Owl!

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.

Thank you for joining us for another Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge! We’re so excited to be sharing this hop with you.  The products used are all available in the current Annual, or seasonal, Stampin’ Up!® Catalogues*. Simply use the buttons at the bottom of the post to keep hopping!

The lovely Heidi Smith designed our sketch this month and here it is:

Last April was the first time I had taken part in this blog hop and I used the retiring In Colours 2014 - 2016 for my card so I decided I would do exactly the same with this card using the retiring In Colours from 2015 - 2017, Cucumber Crush, Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaron, Tip Top Taupe and Watermelon Wonder. 

I used the In Colour paper stack in all the colours then I stamped 'For you' on a piece of Mint Macaron and die cut using the layering oval framelits, I matted this on top of Mint Macaron paper stack. I then stamped and punched three flowers using the Petite Petals stamp set and punch, sadly these will also be retiring at the end of May.

Thanks for stopping by today, I do hope you like this weeks card.

Don't forget to use the buttons below to continue hopping.

Until next week
