The theme for this blog hop was “Anything but a card” so I decided to create a Box Frame with Hydrangea Hill Products.

My Project

I have a couple of Box Frames standing on top of one of my units and one was due a refresh. The beautiful piece of Designer Series paper in the Hydrangea Hill pack with the large panel of blooms, was the perfect starting point.

• Tools: Hydrangea Dies, Brilliant Wings Dies, Playful Alphabet Dies
• Paper/Card: Basic White; Hydrangea Hill DSP, Butterfly Bijou DSP; Rococo Rose; Seaside Spray; Gorgeous Grape
• Embellishments: Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon; Pastel Pearls
• Adhesives; Multipurpose Liquid Glue; Glue Dots

	A4 Metric	Imperial Letter Size
Basic White Base	18cm x 18cm	7″ x 7″
Flower Panel Hydrangea Hill DSP	18cm x 14cm	7″ x 5 1/4″
Green Check Hydrangea Hill DSP	18cm x 4cm	7″ x 1 3/4″
Butterfly Bijou DSP	Die cut butterfly	Die cut butterfly

Instructions

• Stick the two panels of paper to the square of Basic White to create the background.
• Wrap a length of ribbon around the card where the two papers meet and attach to the back.
• Die cut the small blossoms from Seaside Spray , Rococo Rose and Gorgeous Grape card stock. Using dots of glue, stick to the blooms on the background.
• Die cut the word “friends” from Rococo rose and Gorgeous Grape cardstock using the Playful Alphabet dies. Stick them together so the Rococo Rose creates a shadow effect behind the Gorgeous Grape.
• Stick them in place on the background, following the curve of the flowers on the paper.
• Using the Brilliant Wings dies, cut out a butterfly from the Butterfly Bijou DSP. Curve the wings slightly with a bone folder and then stick to the background, just applying glue down the body section.
• Add a bow of the sheer ribbon with a glue dot and finish with some pearls.
• Put the design into a 18cm / 7″ Box frame.
• You could use this design as a large card front if you choose to.
