Story of Elegance

Hello and Happy Tuesday!

Last month I crafted 5 cards and a gift box for my August stamp club.  The products featured for this months session were the Color & Contour bundle, Blackberry Beauty DSP,  Expressions in Ink and Blackberry Beauty Ephemera Packs , and the Tailored Tag punch.  Our club meets online every other month on Sunday afternoon for a couple of hours of fun crafting together.

Here’s another look at the beautiful paper.  This image really doesn’t do the paper justice though.  To get a better sense of how pretty this paper really is, take a look the projects I share this week .

August Stamp Club Gift Box

This beautiful gift box is the perfect way to share a small treat or even take your gift card giving to the next level.  This lovely gift box is the Scalloped Kraft Treat boxes, made more lovely with Blackberry Beauty Ephemera and DSP, heat embossing and a bow.  Super easy and elegant!

 

I love giving a card with a coordinating gift box.  It’s such a sweet thing!

Thank you card and coordinating envelope made with Stampin' Up! products

This card and coordinating envelope uses the Blackberry Beauty DSP, Expressions in Ink Ephemera, Tailored Tag Punch, and Gold Heat Embossing.

Here’s a closer look at the ephemera and embossing.

A Closer Look

 

For the second card we used a few die cuts in Blackberry Bliss and Basic White card stock and a background of another of the patterns in the Blackberry Beauty DSP.  The Blackberry Beauty Ephemera make this card so pretty!

August Stamp Club Card 2

We added a little dimension to this card by popping up the sentiment panel with Stampin Dimensionals.  The flowers and frame are from the Blackberry Bliss Ephemera pack.   The Label Me Fancy punch and Blackberry Bliss striped ribbon help to dress up the sentiment panel.

Here’s a closer look.

And of course you need a coordinating envelope to finish the look.
