Mother's Day is May 10, 2020 here in the USA. So I decided to not only feature flowers, but to also make my projects for Mother's Day! At this point, not sure if my projects will be hand delivered or mailed. We will just have to wait and see!
I've been loving the new Stampin Up Ornate Garden Suite. I chose this suite this month because it has so many flowers in this suite. And the big flower arrangement stamp was perfect!
I made this easy adorable lidded box and matching card for you! SO let's dive right in!

To make the box:

• 2 pieces of Cardstock that both measure 6 1/4"x 4 3/4"
  
• Score 1 at 3/4" on all 4 sides (this is the bottom of the box)
• Score the other at 11/16" on all 4 sides (this will be the lid of the box)
  
• Fold and burnish all score lines
  
• Trim up 1 score line on each side and slightly miter the flaps
  
• Add adhesives and assemble the box and lid
  

I used Crushed Curry, Mint Macaron and Whisper White for my layers.

I cut the frame using the die from the Ornate Layers Dies. It is the second largest. Then I cut a piece of Whisper White to layer on top and embossed it using the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder. I stamped the Flower image from the Ornate Style Stamp set in Black and colored with coordinating Stampin' Blends Markers; Calypso Coral, So Saffron, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive. Finished with some pearls and the Calypso Coral ribbon from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack.  Now I did all of this twice since I used the same design on the card.

The box is a good size as you can see from the picture above, I included a travel tissue pack the and the lid goes on perfectly fine! You can tealights to this box too, so you can see just how much you can fit.

 I made my card to match the box, so as I mentioned above, I stamped and cut the images twice so when I got the card, it was basically assembly. The card base is Calypso Coral. I added a layer of DSP first that measures 4 1/8'x 5 3/8". The DSP is from the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper.

I hope you enjoyed my projects today and I have inspired you to make one on your own! Please feel free to contact me with any questions!!!

Take care
Happy Stampin
