STAMPIN FRIENDS 2022 BLOG HOP LIFE'S OCCASSIONS

Welcome to the 2022 Stampin Friends Blog Hop! We have a fun theme planned by starting off the year celebrating all Life's Occasions. I chose Birthdays to focus on for my projects. I like starting the year by getting ready for all the upcoming birthdays.
Before we get started, you can find a list of our blog hop participants below. Be sure to continue on to Jean Beaulieu's blog to see her awesome projects! Leave a comment, I'd love to hear what you think!!!

For my cards, I chose a monochromatic look. I made 6 cards, 2 in each color & design. 
I used the new Stampin Up Sale-a-Bration DSP called Simply Marbelous. The colors are Misty Moonlight & Balmy Blue, Flirty Flamingo & Blush Bride and Smoky Slate & Gray Granite. The stamps and dies are from the Color & Contour Bundle.
Each card measures 3 3/4x5 1/2 over all. 
Directions:
Cardstock 7 1/2x5 1/2 score on the 7 1/2 side at 3 3/4
DSP Layer 3x5 1/4
Basic White Die Cut - I used the middle size die in the Scalloped Contour Dies.
Basic White for flowers - Stamp in black and add layer in the matchin ink color cut out with the coordinating die
Cardstock diecut - I used the smallest size die in the Scalloped Contour Dies.

 took the Mini Paper Pumpkin boxes and decorated it to match the cards. For the box I used the colors Bumblebee and So Safron. I made the horizontal to fit the lid of the box.
DSP 3 3/4x5 1/2
Basic White Die Cut - I used the middle size die in the Scalloped Contour Dies.
Basic White for flowers - Stamp in black and add layer in the Bumblee ink and  cut out with the coordinating die
Cardstock diecut - I used the smallest size die and So Saffron in the Scalloped Contour Dies.
For the greeting, I only colored the For You in black in before stampin.

The cards will fit snug in the box, so to make it easier to take them out, I added a little tab. I had a strip of cardtock left over from the cards 1x11
I folded about an inch and glue it down to the inside of the box, added the cards and then folded the strip over a bit, and trimmed it down.
