This week, to celebrate the newest PTI/Lauren template releases, all of the members of the team were to use one of Lauren's templates to create a birthday gift. We also had to use either butterflies, or the colour purple (or both) as these are two of Lauren's favourite things.
Here are the amazing peeks at everyone's creations.
And here is what I made with the For Keep{sake} template.
I printed the template on to kraft cardstock, and cut the windows on either side with my nestabilities, then I sponged purple ink around the cutouts, and along all of the folded edges of the box.
After the edges were all sponged, I used barely banana ink to stamp my French Script bacgrounder stamp on the panels to add an aged look to the gift. It's hard to tell, but you can kind of see the script in the photo below.
I filled the bottom of the box with purple paper that had been run through my crimper, cut in thin strips, then crumpled up to make some nice filler.
The actual gift is a few packages of flower seeds that are attached to each other, and the ribbon, with glue dots. When you take off the lid, the packages of seeds also get taken out of the box.
The flowers were stamped using PTI's Floral Frenzy and my very brand new Twinlking H2O's from Luminarte. I got sucked in by their going out of business sale, and ordered 4 packages of 24 mini pots. They just arrived a few days ago, and I couldn't wait to use them. I pulled out 5 different purple colours, and painted them right onto the stamps before stamping the images on to the carstock. I don't know if you can really tell in the photos, but they have some great shimmer IRL.
Please join us in using one of Lauren's templates to create a birthday gift. You do not have to purchase a template to play along, you can always use one of the free templates. Stocking Stuffer or Recipe Wrap Up.
Be sure to check out the rest of the amazing design team and see what they have created to inspire you.
