Scorpal's Bunches of Beautiful Boxes - Lexicon of Love

 

Want a quick and easy way to spruce up a deck of playing cards?  How about a custom box?  The original Lexicon Of Love tutorial, by Leslie Miller , but my updated version uses the latest edition of the Scor-Pal making this cute idea even easier!  The patterned paper from Webster's Pages seemed like the perfect choice, while adding just a slight bit of humor

Supplies:

Cardstock 5 3/4 x 7"

Patterned Paper

 (2). 2 3/8 x 3 3/8

(2) 5/8" x 3 3/8

Scor-Pal

Scor-Tape

Ink

Twine

Cut the cardstock to 5 3/4" x 7". Line the 7 inch side along the upper fence, and in the upper left corner.  Score at 3/4", 3 1/4", 4" and 6 1/2".  Turn the paper so the 5 3/4" side is aligned in the upper left corner and score at 3/4", 4 1/4" and 5".

Trim the flaps as shown.

 

Add the patterned papers as shown, and assemble with the Scor-Tape.

 Add some playing cards, and you are all set for some fun!

Today's Beautiful Moments

 

Do you ever see a piece of paper, and just want to keep holding it, because it is so beautiful? That's how I feel about the WorldWin Petallics.  They are the most elegant papers ever!  The beautiful colors are so shimmery due to the mica-infused coating.  I wanted to create a card that really played up these characteristics, so I thought dry embossing would do the trick.

On this side view, you can see the shimmer a little better.  And look how gorgeous this paper accepts stamping and heat embossing. This  is a 5x 7" card - and the really great thing, is that WorldWin has matching envelopes in 5 different sizes in the Autumn Hay ( and  12 other Petallic colors).

Fussy cut the large corner flowers from the patterned paper.  Stamp and fussy cut the butterfly.  Color with Copics and add Stickles and pearls.  Cut the sentiment form the patterned paper.  Adhere to the base patterned layer of the card.  Use foam adhesives to glue the flower corner to the base, making sure not to cover over the sentiment.  Use more foam to adhere the stamped butterfly over the printed butterfly image.

I used some of the new Faux Canvas/Lightweight 444-58-94 This is such a bright and cheerful color, I thought it was perfect to celebrate this day.  Not only did I add the lovely bow, but this ribbon was perfect for making photo corners.

Blowing Bubbles

 

I love going through old photos, and being reminded of wonderful memories.  My dear nephew was just learning to blow bubbles and was mesmerized by them.  Hard to believe it's been 5 years since this picture was taken!

I love making Cheery Lynn Designs flowers, and always make them quite dimensional - but somehow for this layout, I decided having the flowers flat, almost as part of the patterned paper was the look that I wanted.  So give yourself permission  to use your dies any and every way.  They are so versatile!
