SSS Daffodil Field and Meadow Butterfly

Hello crafty friends, I did some no-line coloring using the new SSS Daffodil Field background stamp, and while die-cutting the panel I damaged it! Nooo. I decided to rescue part of it using the SSS Delicate Meadow Butterfly die set.

Below is a screenshot of the panel before the accident …

The SSS Daffodil Field background stamp is stunning. gIt is good to apply a wide variety of techniques although tone on tone stamping will be enough.

I spent a good amount of time adding color using Zigs and a Nuvo water brush.

Never happened before in 10 years but when cutting the panel with a frame die, the die moved while die-cutting and it all went wrong.

I have been very distracted and pained whit what is happening in Ukraine and also with challenges at home.

My son Harris ( 6 years old) is on the spectrum (non-verbal) and for the last 2 weeks, he refuses to get dressed and to go out of the house. We have tried everything to motivate him to go out.

Anyways… I couldn’t let go and I have to do something with the damaged panel so here are 2 very easy ideas.

Mini Slimline Card

This card measures 6 -3/4″ x 3-1/2″ inches.

The Meadow Butterfly measures approximately 2-1/2″ x 3″ inches so it was just perfect to make this mini slimline card.

To do this, I also used the largest die from the Mini Slimline rectangles die set to cut a perfect front panel for this card.

The sentiment is from the SSS Well Wishes stamp set.

Gift Box

This box measures 3-1/4″x 3- 1/4″ inches and it is 1-1/2 ” tall. To make it I used a scoring board.

I die-cut another butterfly using SSS Delicate Meadow Butterfly die set to make a super easy topper for this box.

For the box you need 2 pieces of 250grams cardstock:

For the box lid, you will need a 4-1/4″x 4-1/4″ inches black piece of cardstock. Scored at 1/2″ inch around the edges.
For the box body, you will need an 6-1/4″x 6-1/4″ piece white cardstock. I trimmed 1/16″ of an inch from each side before scoring at 1-1/2″ inches around the edges.
Then , you need to trim the corners, fold and shape the box to then glue it together.
However, before assembling the box I die -cut the lid piece using the Shimmer Butterfly die set. I just to add an inlaid die-cut pattern behind the topper.

I have made these boxes so many times, they are quite easy to DIY to any size

The sentiment is also from the SSS Well Wishes stamp set.
