Medallion Gift Box and Card

Hello to you.
At the moment some of us are having the delight of our children being on school holidays.
I think when they do go back we will need a holiday of our own (LOL).
This month is a busy month for birthdays, really it easy nearly every month.
Here is what I made for my step daughter who turned 23yrs old
and needed to send something special to the UK.
I decided to create a box and a card to match.

I used the Medallion background for the theme on the card and box and the colours are Very Vanilla,
Cherry Cobbler and Soft Suede.
The box measures 4 1/8 x 4 1/8" and the depth is almost 2".
If you pop over to Chic n Scratch  you see will where I got my inspiration from.

Center of Medallion stamp cut out and placed in the middle of the box on top of scallop circles.
As you can see I finished it off with Very Vanilla Taffeta ribbon and a pearl.

Here is a close up of the card center in coordinating colours.
I coloured the dots with the Cherry Cobbler marker and then dotted over them with Crystal Effects.
The Happy Birthday is from Well Scripted stamp set. I just love the font from this set.
Well that's all from me on the post.
Enjoy looking.

My Mothers Day Card

Hello there,

I hope all you Mothers out there had a wonderful weekend being spoilt rotten, by your children.
I had a lovely day because it was also shared with my twin daughters who had a pre- birthday celebration, so we went to Luna Park. It was the first time for the family and we all had a ball.
My mother lives in Queensland where we moved from 2 years ago and so I couldn't be there to share the day, but of course I made here this card with love from me.

I used the A Rose Is A Rose stamp set from the Ideas Catalogue 2009/2010 and the colour combo is Pretty In Pink, Rose Regal, Certainly Celery and Kiwi Kiss. For the background I used the Medallion which is new from our Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue and placed Versa Mark over it.
The feedback is Mum loved it,as well as her other goodies from Stampin' Up!
Thanks for stopping by.
