The Blended Seasons bundle (Blended Seasons stamp set and Stitched Seasons Framelits Dies) really does work all year, and for multiple occasions. I used it to make today’s card, meant for a wedding, but it could also be used to wish someone well when they’re moving away, retiring, or beginning any new adventure. The background paper is from the Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper, which is meant for Christmas, but can obviously be used for other things.
Scroll down to the bottom of this post for details on the Blended Seasons bundle, and the second assortment of Watercolor Pencils, available only until August 31, or while supplies last.

The Silver Gable Boxes are so pretty and so versatile. Don’t you just love products like that? Today I’ve decorated one for a bridesmaid’s gift. One stamp, an embossing folder, and some ribbon turned the simple box into a frilly gift, full of nail polish, lip glass, etc. – all pink of course.
Here’s what I made:

Mar 8, 2018 | Blog Hop, Cards, Gallery, Wedding |
It’s time for the One Stamp at a Time Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Happily Ever After. I used the Better Together stamp set, some doilies, and a few other goodies to create a wedding card and gift box. I can’t wait to see all the projects the other hoppers have created! Be sure to hop around to see them.
Here’s what I made:
The card…
…and the gift box.
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Elegant Eggplant card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, scored in half at 4-1/4″, then 1″ strip cut off the bottom of the front, then another 2-1/4″ strip cut from the front – there should be a 1″ strip still attached across the top of the front
- Silver Foil Sheet cut to 2″ x 4-1/4″
- Whisper White CS cut to 5″ x 3-3/4″ for the inside of the card
Stamped with the Better Together stamp set:
- sentiment in Elegant Eggplant ink onto the Whisper White CS
- NOTE: I used an Elegant Eggplant Stampin’ Write Marker to ink up each part of the stamp, and used a Stampamajig to line up the words
Die cut using the Layering Circles Framelits:
- scrap of Elegant Eggplant CS with a scalloped circle die
Colored using Stampin’ Write Markers:
- vellum embellishment from the Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit in Elegant Eggplant, Emerald Envy, and Daffodil Delight
- NOTE: I colored the vellum on the back, not on the side with the silver
Assembled the card:
- folded the card base along the score line, and burnished it with a Bone Folder
- Silver Foil strip adhered to the front of the card base at the top, and to the 5-1/2″ x 1″ Elegant Eggplant CS strip at the bottom
- Delicate White Doily adhered to the Silver Foil strip using Tear & Tape
- Silver Metallic Foil Doily adhered to the white doily using Tear & Tape
- colored vellum embellishment adhered to the silver doily using Tear & tape
- stamped Whisper White CS glued to the inside of the card base
Assembled the box:
- burnished the fold lines in the Mini Silver Gable Box, and assembled it – On the bottom, fold in the long flap with two tabs, then the two short side flaps, then the long flap with one tab.
- two top end flaps tucked inside the box, instead of inserting the top tabs into them
- silver Sweet Soiree Ready Shreddie tucked inside the box with some hanging out the sides
- Delicate White Doily adhered to the side of the box using Tear & Tape
- silver Metallic Foil Doily adhered to the white doily using Tear & Tape
- Whisper White 1/4″ Organza Ribbon wrapped around box and tied in a bow, tying the box closed at the top
- die cut Elegant Eggplant CS scalloped circle adhered to the silver doily using Stampin’ Dimensionals, careful to leave a “tunnel” for the ribbon to slide through freely
- smaller silver Metallic Foil Doily adhered to the die cut circle using Tear & Tape

The beautiful blue bouquet on today’s card was made using the Beautiful Bouquet Bundle (Beautiful Bouquet stamp set and Bouquet Bunch Framelits Dies.) Using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Pearl Basic Jewels, and wrapping the flower stems with ribbon can give some thickness to the card. To mail it, simply lay a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ piece of card stock over the front of the card before inserting it into the envelope. You can also pay more to have the envelope hand cancelled, instead of run through the automated postal machines.
