Boxed journal gift set Stampin' Up! pressed Petals suite.

I love making journals so when I saw Stampin' Up! had a ready made journal for sale I had to have a look. A small sized Journal perfect to fit in your handbag and packed with fantastic pages for writing, loaded with pretty images and inspirational sayings. Perfect for a gift this Christmas or at any time of the year.

To make the journal even better I added some love... some crafty additions and created a custom sized and decorated gift box to place it in.

Everything I used is from the Pressed Petals suite in the 2019-2020 annual catalogue I will leave links below.

I have a full process video to share what I did to create both the box and the journal. Spot the blunder !! There generally is one in my tutorials but I like to keep it real. Crafted projects are made with love not perfection is my philosophy.

So grab a fresh cuppa, get comfy and enjoy the tutorial.

Huge hugs x Amanda

Easy 3d vellum flowers.

Hand made flowers are such a joy to create and really add a special wow to your projects. Today I am sharing how to make vellum flowers with ease. The process is easy, the results fabulous.

Making your own embellishments for cards is so satisfying I often sit and create whils I watch videos or daydream in my craft space wehn I have some free time. After all crafting is one of the best kinds of therapy and forms of relaxation.

Here we used vellum as it's a pretty, soft type of card stock / paper which diffuses the light adding a softer look to the flowers and the project you put them on. The flowers are created easily using the floral essence stamp set and co-ordinating Perennial flower punch a perfect duet.

I do have a full step by step youtube video for you to follow so you can see just how easy these are to make. You will want to make heaps they are quite addictive to make. So come on over and join me in my craft room, grab a cold drink get comfy and enjoy the video.

Happy stamping xxx Amanda
