Welcome to the February 2021 PPPBH. This month’s kit is called Bouquet of Hope and it makes beautiful sympathy cards. I know these aren’t the most fun cards to make, but in my experience, it’s best to have them already made and on hand when you need them. I altered the kit to make a shabby chic style card and box: cut the stems from the large bouquet die cuts from the kit, and added smaller flowers to cover the cut area; flipped the gold doily over to the white side; and created a pop up insert for the card.

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:

• Basic White card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/4″ x 8″, then scored in half at 4″, then scored at an angle along the top left corner (when it’s closed)
• NOTE: make sure you score both sides to create the V in the middle of the card
• 2019-2021 In Colors Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 4-1/8″ x 5-7/8″ (you may have to adjust a little for your box)

Stamped with the Bouquet of Hope stamp set:

• outer sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink onto the included label
• inner sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink onto the Basic White CS insert
• small flowers in Rococo Rose ink onto the front of the Rococo Rose card base

Cut using Paper Snips:

• the bow & stems cut from 2 large flower bouquets
• about 1/2″ to 3/4″ or so from the bottom stems of another large bouquet

Colored using a wedge of a Stampin’ Sponge:

• edges of Basic White CS card insert, DSP, and box

Assembled the card:

• burnished the folds in the card base and the insert with a Bone Folder
• insert glued onto the inside of the card base, being sure not to glue the top center portion
• doily adhered onto the front of the card base using Stampin’ Seal (you can use the glue dots in the kit)
• small yellow flower glued onto a large bouquet with no stems
• bouquet adhered over the doily using Stampin’ Dimensionals
• sentiment glued onto the bouquet
• 3 sequins applied onto the card front
• bouquet with a bit trimmed from the bottom glued onto the left side of the pop up inside the card
• small cluster of flowers glued over the stems

Assembled the box:

• burnished the folds in the box with a Bone Folder, then folded in the sides to assemble
• DSP glued onto the box top, covering the top and 2 sides
• small yellow flower glued onto a large bouquet with no stems
• bouquet adhered onto the top of the box using Stampin’ Dimensionals
