Flourishes Free for all Friday

 

The Senior Design Team is back today with another round of beauties created with our October Release Stamp sets. It's our chance to show them off some more while you can still purchase the October Stamp Bundle at a discount! Today is the last day the dscount is available and we don't want you to miss out!

I decided to use the Handmade Snowflake set today because...well, just because I LOVE snowflakes and I love winter.  I stamped the flakes with Cloud White VersaMagic ink onto Flourishes Classic Kraft Cardstock.  I then designed a long box, 1 1/4" x 3/4" x 8", to fit some Cow Tales (the spelling is correct) inside for a sweet little precocious friend of mine.  Now before you freak out, Cow Tales are a caramel candy stick with vanilla cream inside, and they are delicious.  Being dairy farmers, I think it's fun to share this sweet treat with others.  I used two new Spellbinders Snowflake dies to accent the pieces.  They work beautifully with the Flourishes Handmade Snowflake images.

I usually hide my staples by stapling the background piece to the cellophane bag first and adding the top panel afterwards, but I forgot to, and I wanted to get this in the mail yesterday, so there you have it...you can see my staples... :(

 

I wanted to have some embellishments hanging from the snowflake, so I used one of the Tailor-Made Classic Tags Template dies.  I stamped the "My Friend" sentiment (from the Passion Flower Flourishes set) with Versamark, and embossed it with silver embossing powder.

That's it for my project today.  Now hop on over to see what lovely creations everyone else has in store for you today:
