If you remember I made my name badge for the Stampin'up regional training in Reading a couple of weeks ago. I thought the name badge would work well on the front of a card . So this week I have been busy doing just that and here is the result.
I have to say this was quite time consuming and fiddly in part but as it was for a friend and colleagues 50th birthday it had to be a little bit special .
I used the Baroque motif stamp set with choc chip ink to over stamp the crumb cake stripe DSP.
Rich Razzlwberry card stock was chosen for the rose and the rosette, Old Olive card for the leaves daubed with Bravo Burgundy ink.
I used the 5 petal flower punch and rounded of the tips of the petals to make the the rose.
Under the rose there is a 5 petal flower punched in Old Olive card stock and again inked with Bravo Burgundy. The smaller leaves were cut using the little leaves die from SU, they too have been inked.
I used a silver metal frame from the hodge podge kit secured with a couple of tiny brads. I printed off the personalized greeting and hot foiled it in silver.
Then a
dded a small knot of the Victoria lace and a couple of sparklies.

For the card box I used the new simply scored score board this is so cool. Box making is a breeze now.
I tried a different way of making the flowers for these as I wanted them a smaller size and not as tall as the rose on the card.
To make these flowers I used small and medium heart punches .
For the pillow box, I used the pillow box die, Martha Stewarts doily punch for the lace edging, the four labels stamp set and punch, the tiny tags stamp set, little leaves die, rich razzleberry and crumb cake card stock.
In the pillow box is one of the glass bead and crystal bracelets I have been making recently. I tried to match up the beads with the Rich Razzleberry card as you can see it is close but not quite as close as I would have liked.
Maeve loves purples, plums and pinks so I hopefully she will love these.
You can tell if I am pleased with something I have made as you get more than one photo of it. lol
