Addicted to Stamps Challenge Week 2

For this second challenge the team on Addicted to Stamps have given us a bingo card as an aid to making a project - the idea being to choose any three items in a line and you will see they've been kind and given us a 'free' choice in the middle.
 I opted for the flowers, free (I used scoring) and stamps line and have 'CASED' a card from Jenny's blog and also made a matching gift box for a birthday which is next month although not sure at the moment what the gift will be but will need to fit into the box!! I chose a different colour combination for my items (Perfect Plum, Pale Plum and Cream) and changed the design of the card somewhat using Nature Garden paper from Prima overstamped to add interest and this paper was also used on the box.   The stamps are from Stampin' Up Everything Eleanor set and there was quite a bit of cutting out of shapes and flowers, the sentiment was produced on the computer and punched using SU punches. Matching paper was added to the box and the rosette was made using their new Scoring Board with the diagonal board being used to add scored lines to the cream layer. This board is brilliant, especially with the diagonal insert and the lines are in 1/8th inch incremennts which are so useful.  Since taking the photograph of the box  I've added pearls to the centre of the flowers (the card was scanned which has made the colours look different but the two items do match).




Do check out the two links to see which bingo lines the DT chose for their cards and to see lots of great Stampin' Up ideas and classes on Jenny's blog.

  8. Looks a beauty with the matching box - I too love eighth of an inch scoreboards & have the MS one which I use as well as the Scor-Pal (the latter has a super working inlay/insert).
    Superb colours - but then I love these muted lilacs & white.

  11. A gorgeous card with a FAB box, matching photos and scanned images is so tricky. I do like the pearls they make a very subtle bit of bling.
