Bring shape to the leaves and flowers by using the matching molds and the deluxe flower shaping kit. The flowers have two layers.

Cut the stamens in half and thread through the hole then secure the stamen ends using the hot glue gun. Apply clear drying glue to the leaf ends and the flower petals then dip then into the glitter. Put aside to dry. When dry tap away any lose excess glitter. Trim away the stamen tails behind the flower ready to glue down to the box front. Arrange the cluster of flowers and leaves, adhere in place with the hot glue gun or clear drying glue.

Was this not fun.... or was this fun! 
I am planning more of this to come. Matching cards and boxes...Oh what fun.

A little tittle tat note: I have not been so active of late, the reason being....I am moving. Yes I am moving house. I will be moveing May 8th...well actually I will be moving twice...yes you got it right. Twice. 1st to Beekbergen, our hoiladay home.  This move will be for 4 weeks then moving again to a permanent location in Ugchelen. Now where on earth is this place.  I now live in Heemstede, which is about 30 min from Amsterdam and are moveing to the middle of Holland to the provincie of Apledoorn. Which is about 1 1/2 hours drive from Heemstede. Ugchelen is about 19-20 min to Apeldoorn city center...very exciting. The house we have bought is almost in the bush....well you feel like it is when you are in the back yard. So we will be woken up each morning by the robbins and all that goes with the bush. I think I will become an out doors kinda gal....lol.
Boy am I glad the packing is almost done! I think 2 truck loads plus trailers....thats alot of craft product in those boxes...lol. ( you pack up all your craft stuff and see how much you have...and it's all needed!) Because of the packing I have not had time to get cabin fever due to the stay at home rule here..... the carona virus. Pretty scarry as my Frans is a high risk person and me?...I'm always high risk...lol. My heart goes out to all those that have lost someone dear and to those in the care secture. I will say I am glad we dont have a complete lock down though as if it was, we would not have been able to seel the house and be moving. We are being very carefull and taking all into account what is needed to be  done to keep safe.
I will keep you updated on the journey and try to get some photos up for you.

Have a scrappy one and inky hugs.

OTHER PRODUCTS USED:
Inks: Ranger Archival ink-Venetian Orange, White card stock, Scissors, Green organza ribbon, Hot glue gun, Double sided tape, Empty perfume box or such like, Diamond dust.



INSTRUCTIONS:
This project measures the size of the gift in a box you have. This project is wrapping a gift with out the wrapping, you are decorating the box of the gift. This box is a empty perfume box I had but you can use what ever you have or want to give.
To make the flowers and leaves: Taking the white card stock and the library green ink, stamp the leaves and two of each of the two wild rose from the large Wild Rose set, color these with the Pink Peony and the centers with the Venetian Orange. The out side is highlighted with concentrated Plum. Two layers of two sizes are used to make the flowers. The centers are filled with clear drying glue then diamond dust is sprinkled over the glue. The yellow from the inked centers will show through once the glue has dried. Set aside to dry. The leaves are colored using the Leaf green and Library green inks. The large flower shaping mold is used to bring shape to the leaves and flower petals.
To decorate the box: Taking the box, measure the box on all sides. The lid and base, the sides and front and back. Write the measurements down then make them all a little smaller so you have the box showing on the sides of the design paper. For this box I chose the design paper with a flower boarder from the Wild Rose paper collection. Cut the paper to the measurements so the boarder shall be at the foot of the box. The edges are inked  with the archival ink, plum. Adhere the paper pieces to the box using double sided tape. Taking the green organza ribbon, wrap around the box and adhere with the hot glue gun. Make a organza ribbon ½ bow by folding the ribbon three times, each fold a little shorter than each other. Adhere with a dot of hot glue. Make two ribbon ½ bows. Make the flowers and leaves. Arrange on the ribbon  line around the box the flowers and leaves, adhere this with the hot glue gun. To finish the project adhere the ½ bows each side of the arrangement.



















Enjoy some details of the wildroses.


 Till next week....inky hugs...and have a scrappy week.
