Mixed Bunch stamp set

. . . and the answer is . . .

by

The answer to how many differences are there in the box I posted on My Facebook Page & the box I posted in this article. . .  Sadly only one person commented on how many differences there are and her answer was incorrect. I feel she still deserves to receive the prize because she commented. So Nancy, you will be receiving a gift in the mail from me soon!

Want to know the answer? Nancy said 4 but the correct answer is 5 and here they are:

  1. the belly band is embossed with the Framed Tulips embossing folder #121809
  2. a Daffodil Delight strip was cut using the scalloped edglit found in the Adorning Accents Edglits set # 125595
  3. the button center on the flower was switched out with a paper flower created with the 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch #129404
  4. leaves were added by punching them out using the Blossom Petals Builder Punch #121808, then I crimped and sponged them
  5. I sponged all the edges of the box using a Stampin’ Sponge and Lucky Limeade ink

So, how did you do?

I created this treat box using the Mixed Bunch stamp set & the series #3 color palette of  Daffodil Delight, Lucky Limeade,Tempting Turquoise & Tangerine Tango. Can you see what I changed to the treat ox from the one I posted on my Facebook page? Count them and leave a reply with the number of differences you find.  I will put all names with the correct number into a drawing for a brand new accessory found in the New Annual Catalog!

Mixed Bunch, color palette series #3

by

These flowers in the Mixed Bunch stamp set seemed to be the perfect image for this card. The series #3 color palette consists of ; Tangerine Tango, Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight & Lucky Limeade. I think I was secretly wishing that winter would finally end when I picked the first 3 color palettes because they all have been bright,cheerful colors. Some of you have commented that you were surprised I haven’t used my favorite color, Crumb Cake. I am happy to let you know, Crumb Cake will be part of the series #4 color palette!! Woo! Hoo!

For this version of this card I used theWindow Frames Collection framelits to create the Tangerine Tango element. I paired it with the coordinating Festive Piercing Pack  to add the pierced details. Gotta love when Stampin’ Up! coordinates their products to help make creating easier for all.

 I want to let you in a little secret~ I originally intended to have the Tangerine Tango element at the bottom instead of the top. Why did I change it? Well you see when I added the flower elements it reminded me of a face with one green and one blue eye and the curved piece made a smile!

I can see you tilting your head to see what I’m talking about. . . .

Too funny!!!!!!!
