Heartfelt Creations - Classic Rose Memento Box

September 21 post





Beautiful in color, exquisite in fragrance,  the rose is one of the most coveted flowers found in chic bouquets, or carefully tended flower gardens. 

 Breathtaking in bud form, as a blossom gently opening, or in full bloom, it is a flower that calls attention to itself and beckons you to pause and quietly reflect upon its elegance.  

Heartfelt Creations invites you to stop, fall quiet and immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the new Classic Rose Collection!

 X-Press It Blending Card Stock, electric die cut machine,  Embossing/die cut machine, paper trimmer,  Fossilized Amber Distress Ink, Forest Moss Distress Ink,  Glue Gun, dried baby breath, green ribbon, Copics Alcohol Ink Markers: YO2, Y06, YO8, Y15, YR24.  The svg file was Mom's Garden Gifts.  The link is HERE


The rose images were stamped on X-Press It Blending Card Stock with Espresso Truffle Memento Dye ink.    The leaves were stamped on green card stock.  I colored the roses with Copic Alcohol Ink Markers but any coloring medium would work perfectly.   I used Copic Y02, Y06, Y08, Y15, YR24.    The roses and leaves were then die cut.   The roses and leaves were lightly spritzed with a fine mist of water and shaped using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.   Emma Lou has a wonderful video on how to shape the dimensional roses  HERE

The roses were sponged with Fossilized Amber Distress Ink.   The leaves were sponged with Forest Moss Distress Ink.   

The gift box was created from  the svg file called Mom's Garden Gifts (svgcuts.com).   The link is listed  under "other supplies".    The box was cut without altering the file.  It is an easy box to cut, fold and glue.   I used Designer Dries Clear Adhesive.   The designer paper I used came directly from the Classic Rose Paper Collection.  Isn't it gorgeous?!!!   

A touch of Designer Dries Clear Adhesive was applied to a few of the flower edges and sprinkled with white Gala Glitz.   I love this stuff!  I think hit is my new addiction! 
Ribbon was tied around the gift box and the  leaves and roses were adhered.   And now the final touch was done by adding some small pieces of baby breath. The gift box is now ready to be given to someone special!

I hope you enjoyed my gift box !   
I always love creating various size and shapes of gift boxes! 
I particularly enjoy adding the beautiful roses and spray of leaves to 
an accent!       

Thank you so much for stopping by!
