I created a Spring themed gift set for my project today. I dressed up a Treat Tube and created a coordinating card to go with it.
I started by die cutting a circle frame using the Lacy Scallop Circles Confetti Cuts die set. I added it to an ink sponged and splattered background. For the focal images, I stamped and die cut one of the bunnies from the More Than Jellybeans stamps set and coordinating More Than Jellybeans Confetti Cuts die set. I also tucked in some flowers and leaves from the Blooms 'n Buds stamp set and coordinating Blooms 'n Buds Confetti Cuts die set.
One of my very favorite things to do with bold, solid images is to ink blend on the stamps. This gives some visual texture and depth to the images and I love it! The easiest way to do this is with a MISTI! In fact, that is always how I do it. Since it requires stamping the same image over and over, it truly is the best way to do it.
I created a coordinating little giftie using the Treat Tubes Confetti Cuts die (and included treat tube). Along with the same flowers from the card, I added a banner from the Bitty Banners stamp set and coordinating Bitty Banners Confetti Cuts die set. I adhered all of these items to a die cut tag (from the Dashed Line Tag Confetti Cuts die).
